# Linear ships a remote MCP server with native OAuth 2.1 + Dynamic Client
# Registration over Streamable HTTP. Hermes's MCP client + mcp_oauth_manager
# handle discovery, PKCE, token exchange, and refresh — nothing to install
# locally.
transport:
  type: http
  url: https://mcp.linear.app/mcp

auth:
  type: oauth
  # No `provider:` — this is native MCP OAuth (case 1), not a third-party
  # provider like Google. The MCP client triggers the browser flow on the
  # first probe / first connect.

# Tool selection at install time:
# Linear's MCP server exposes a moderate-sized tool surface (find/get/list +
# create/update across issues/projects/comments). We leave `default_enabled`
# unset so the install-time checklist starts with everything pre-checked —
# users prune what they don't want.
#
# If you want to encode a curated subset here once it stabilizes, list the
# tool names under `tools.default_enabled`. Probe failure would then apply
# that list directly.

post_install: |
  On first connection, Hermes will open a browser to authenticate with Linear.
  After auth, restart your Hermes session so the Linear tools are loaded.

  You can re-run the tool checklist any time with:
    hermes mcp configure linear
