🛡️ Official✓ VerifiedHTTP + SSEOAuth 2.1·https://mcp.linear.app/mcp

Step-by-step

Add to .vscode/mcp.json
Use the deeplink or paste the servers JSON above into .vscode/mcp.json.
Authorize
On first use your client opens a Linear Orbit Inc. OAuth consent screen — approve it and tools become available.
Use in Copilot Chat
Open Copilot Chat in agent mode — the server's tools appear in the tools menu. Verify in the browser: paste https://mcp.linear.app/mcp into remotemcp.net/inspector and run initialize + tools/list.

Troubleshooting OAuth / 401

A 401 Unauthorized on first connect is normal — the endpoint is OAuth-protected; let VS Code finish the browser consent flow.
If the consent window never opens, remove and re-add the server, then retry.
Check the exact challenge at our OAuth debugger.
Run the live endpoint through the online inspector to see the raw JSON-RPC exchange.
