"name": "Mo Linear MCP (Dev)",
"description": "Linear Task Management for Cursor IDE - Development Mode",
"command": "npm",
"args": ["run", "dev"],
"cwd": "/path/to/your/mo-linear-mcp",
"enabled": true
},
"linear": {
"name": "Linear",
"description": "Linear Task Management for Cursor",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mo-linear-mcp"],
"enabled": true
}
}
}
To access the MCP configuration in Cursor:
1. Open Cursor IDE
2. Go to Settings → Extensions → MCP Servers
3. Click "Edit MCP Config" and paste the configuration above
4. Adjust the "cwd" path to match your local repository path (for development mode)
To use the Linear integration, you need to authenticate with your Linear API key:
