Frequently asked questions about the Linear MCP Server

How do I find my Linear Personal API Key?

Go to Linear Settings > API and click Create API Key. Give it a descriptive name like 'Vinkius MCP' and copy the generated key immediately — it won't be shown again.

Can I create new issues with assignees and labels?

Yes! Use the create_issue tool with the required team_id and title parameters. Optionally provide assignee_id, priority (0-4), description in Markdown and label_ids as a comma-separated list. The agent will return the created issue's identifier and URL.

Does the agent have access to delete issues or modify team settings?

No. This server focuses on read operations and safe mutations — creating issues, updating fields and adding comments. Destructive actions like deletion or team configuration changes are not exposed, keeping your workspace secure.
