# Linear Issues

> Use this tool when you need to access Linear issue tracking data to inform AI-driven project management decisions. It solves the problem of context switching by providing read-only access to issue details and comments through a Node.js server. The tool accepts API keys or OAuth tokens as input and outputs formatted issue data, making it ideal for teams using Linear who want to integrate project tracking information into their AI workflows.

## Description

The Linear Issues MCP server provides AI assistants with read-only access to Linear issue tracking data through a Node.js implementation. Developed by Keegan Carruthers-Smith, this server exposes two tools: one for fetching basic issue details and another for retrieving complete information including comments. It authenticates with the Linear GraphQL API using either an API key or OAuth token, parses issue identifiers from URLs or direct references, and formats responses in a consistent structure. This implementation is particularly valuable for teams using Linear who want their AI assistants to access project tracking information without switching contexts.
