Use the Linear MCP server

Setup: Linear in Claude Code

Claude Code adds MCP servers via the `claude mcp add` command. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Connect Linear to your free gate gateway from the verified directory.
  2. In your terminal: claude mcp add gate https://gateturbo.com/api/mcp --transport http
  3. Approve the sign-in when Claude Code opens it in your browser.
  4. Linear's tools now appear in every Claude Code session — with per-tool allow/ask/block rules if you want them.

What to ask once it’s connected

“What's in the current cycle, and what's at risk?”
“Create an issue from this bug report and assign it to me.”
“Summarize what shipped in the last cycle.”
“Which projects are behind schedule right now?”

Why route it through a gateway

One URL, every client

The same Linear connection works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code too — no per-client re-wiring.

Rules before regret

Allow, ask, or block every tool Linear exposes — reads can flow freely while writes require your approval.

Every call logged

A plain-language activity log of everything Claude Code did with Linear — searchable, exportable, auditable.

Scanned and probed

Linear passed a live handshake probe and a security scan before listing — and drift detection watches it after you connect.
