Feature
Linear MCP for product management
Linear expanded its MCP server with support for initiatives, milestones, and updates to help product managers keep plans current and communicate progress from tools like Cursor and Claude. The update also adds nested sub-issue display, retires the SSE transport endpoint in favor of HTTP streams, introduces the ability to retire teams while preserving their history, and improves performance through better documentation.
We've expanded Linear's MCP server with support for initiatives, project milestones, and updates. These allow product managers to keep plans up to date and communicate progress from other tools like Cursor and Claude.
Newly added MCP tools:
Create and edit initiatives
Create and edit initiative updates
Create and edit project milestones
Create and edit project updates
Manage project labels
Support for loading images
We also improved performance and reduced token usage through better tool documentation, and added broad support for loading Linear resources through URLs.
Deprecation of /sse MCP endpoint
SSE as a transport was deprecated starting with protocol version 2024-11-05. As all modern clients now support the more reliable HTTP streams, Linear MCP is fully removing SSE support. To switch, update your endpoint from https://mcp.linear.app/sse to https://mcp.linear.app/mcp.
Deprecation errors for SSE will be rolled out gradually over the next two months.

Nested sub-issues
Issue lists can now show sub-issues as a nested hierarchy. Turn on this display option from any issue list view.
Retired teams
Teams form and disband as organizations evolve. When a team is no longer active, its issues and projects still hold useful context, but shouldn't clutter your workspace.
We're introducing the ability to retire teams, giving you a clean way to wind a team down while preserving its project and issue history.
Retired teams are read-only and hidden from the sidebar, but their issues, projects, and documents are still accessible. When retiring a team, you can choose to cancel any remaining open issues or move them to another team. Retired teams can be restored at any time.
Admins, workspace owners, and team owners can retire a team from its settings page.
