Gemini CLI Linear update_issue

How to: Gemini CLI Linear update_issue

client:Gemini CLI transport:streamable-http tool:update_issue

Add Linear to Gemini CLI

  1. 01

    Open ~/.gemini/settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there. 

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.linear.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.

  2. 03

    Ask for something update_issue does. Gemini CLI lists the server's tools on connect and calls update_issue itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Linear's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Gemini expands $VAR and ${VAR} inside env values, so a secret can live in your shell rather than this file. Gemini CLI docs

Same tool, other clients

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
