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.

How do I configure the extension in Zed?

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.

Can I use multiple Linear workspaces?

Yes, by using the optional tool_prefix setting to prefix all Linear tool names (e.g., company1_linear_create_issue) so tools from different workspaces are clearly separated.

How do I run multiple instances simultaneously?

Define different command blocks in context_servers with unique TOOL_PREFIX values—one provided through the Zed extension, another via npx with environment variables.

What does the tool_prefix setting do?

It prefixes every Linear tool’s name (e.g., workspace2_linear_create_issue) to prevent naming conflicts when operating multiple workspaces.
