Configure Linear for the AI Gateway

To allow your users to securely query issues, manage projects, and track development cycles using their AI clients, you can configure the Linear Model Context Protocol (MCP) server within the JumpCloud AI Gateway.

Prerequisites

  • Before configuring specific enterprise applications, we recommend reviewing the Get Started: AI Gateway guide to familiarize yourself with the gateway architecture and core AI concepts (such as MCP servers and AI clients).

Completing Application Setup

Linear’s MCP server supports OAuth Dynamic Client Registration (DCR), so no app creation or additional configuration is required to connect it to the AI Gateway. Refer to Linear’s MCP server to learn more.

Configuring the Server in JumpCloud

See Adding MCP Servers in Configure AI Gateway Integrations and use the following values to configure this server:

  • App: Select Linear (if you have an existing SSO application or bookmark), or click + Add App to create it
  • Name: Enter a name, for example Linear
  • Prefix: Enter a value to prepend to MCP tool names
    • Note: Prefixes must be unique. Maximum 8 characters, letters and numbers only
  • URL: https://mcp.linear.app/mcp

Note:

Linear supports limiting access to the MCP server by modifying the MCP server URL. For example, for read-only access, use this URL: https://mcp.linear.app/mcp/readonly

  • MCP authentication method: OAuth
  • Advanced fields: Not required

Your users will now see Linear listed as an available tool when they authenticate their AI clients through the JumpCloud AI Gateway.
