Run Linear operations the way MCP clients do — authenticate with the user's own Linear login (OAuth 2.1 + dynamic client registration, no OAuth app to create) and drive Linear's official hosted MCP tools to list/search/get/create/update issues, comment, and read teams, projects, users, cycles, workflow statuses, labels, and docs. Use when the user mentions Linear, a Linear issue or identifier (e.g. ENG-123), creating or updating a Linear issue, commenting on a Linear issue, listing Linear teams/projects/users/cycles/statuses/labels, calling a Linear MCP tool, or logging in to Linear.

  1. Distinctive:

    No OAuth app, client id, or API key to create — authentication is fully dynamic.

    line 12

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 7 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

linear-cli

Talks to Linear's hosted MCP server (https://mcp.linear.app/mcp) the same way Claude, Cursor, and Codex do: the CLI self-registers (OAuth 2.1 dynamic client registration), runs a PKCE login, and calls Linear's official MCP tools. Dependency-free Node ≥ 20. Each command prints the tool's text output and spills the full JSON result to a temp file.

Setup

No OAuth app, client id, or API key to create — authentication is fully dynamic.

node <skill>/scripts/login.mjs

Open the printed URL, authorize, done. On first login the CLI registers itself and requests the read write scopes; tokens are stored at ~/.agents/linear-cli/credentials.json (mode 0600) and refresh automatically. The dynamic registration is cached at ~/.agents/linear-cli/client.json; logout.mjs revokes the token and clears credentials but keeps the registration.

Optional non-secret defaults in .agents/linear-cli.json (project) or ~/.agents/linear-cli.json:

{
  "redirectPort": 8848,
  "scopes": "read write",
  "defaultTeam": "ENG"
}

The loopback redirect is http://localhost:<redirectPort>/callback (default 8848). If that port is taken, set a different redirectPort and log in again (it re-registers automatically). For read-only access, set "scopes": "read".

The convenience wrappers forward every --flag value straight through as the tool's argument (e.g. --assignee me → { assignee: "me" }). Arguments accept human values — assignee takes a name, email, or me; team takes a key/name; state takes a status name — so there is no id lookup step. Run tools.mjs <tool> to see any tool's exact input schema, and use call.mjs for the ~31 tools without a dedicated wrapper (attachments, documents, milestones, project/label creation, etc.).

Output contract

Each command prints the tool's human-readable text to stdout and writes the full JSON result to a temp file under os.tmpdir() (path printed) when it is large — read that path when you need every field.

Etiquette

issue-save.mjs, comment.mjs, and any writing call.mjs invocation change a shared workspace. Confirm content with the user before running unless they explicitly asked you to create/update/comment. For read-only sessions, log in with "scopes": "read".
