Cline linear linear_create_issue

How to: Cline linear linear_create_issue

client:Cline transport:streamable-http tool:linear_create_issue

Add linear to Cline

  1. 01

    Open ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linear": {
      "url": "https://linear.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Cline.

  2. 03

    Ask for something linear_create_issue does. Cline lists the server's tools on connect and calls linear_create_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.

Cline's MCP Servers pane edits this file for you if you would rather not find it. Cline docs

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

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.
