FAQ from Linear MCP Server Extension for Zed

How do I get a Linear API key?

You can create a developer token from Linear's Workspace Settings > API > OAuth application, or a personal API key from Personal Settings > API > Personal API Keys.

Add your API key to Zed's settings.json under context_servers with the key mcp-server-linear and the setting linear_api_key. An optional tool_prefix can distinguish workspaces.
