Install Linear Project in Codex

What you need first

• Codex, installed.
• Node.js, which gives the npx command the server starts with.
• Your own value for YOUR_LINEAR_ALLOWED_ORGANIZATION_ID.

Steps

1. Run this in a terminal. It writes the server into ~/.codex/config.toml, which the Codex CLI, its IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app share.

codex mcp add linear-project --env LINEAR_ALLOWED_ORGANIZATION_ID=YOUR_LINEAR_ALLOWED_ORGANIZATION_ID -- npx -y @openly-useful/[email protected]

2. Replace YOUR_LINEAR_ALLOWED_ORGANIZATION_ID with your own value.
3. Start Codex again and type /mcp: the server is listed.

Check it worked

Ask Codex: List the tools of linear-project.

If it does not start

spawn npx ENOENT

Node.js is not on the PATH that Codex sees. Install it, or write the full path of npx in the config.

The server starts, but its tools fail

A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
