## How to connect a hosted Linear MCP server to Claude Code with Awesome Remote MCP Servers

Repo: [punkpeye/awesome-remote-mcp-servers](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-remote-mcp-servers) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Add a remote MCP server to Claude Code with one command and no local install.

**Who it is for:** A developer who uses Claude Code and wants it to read and update Linear issues from the terminal.

**The problem:** Running an MCP server locally means installing packages and keeping them updated.

**The outcome:** Claude Code lists the Linear server as connected and can call its tools after sign-in.

### Steps

1. Install and open Claude Code in a terminal.
2. Run `claude mcp add --transport http linear https://mcp.linear.app/mcp`.
3. Start a Claude Code session and run the first Linear tool request.
4. Complete the OAuth sign-in in the browser window that opens on first use.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the repo awesome-remote-mcp-servers, add the remote Linear MCP server to Claude Code with the README command, then ask it to list <my open Linear issues>. Expected output: a list of issue titles and IDs. Verify the Linear server appears as connected before reporting.
```

### Caveat

The list links to third-party hosted endpoints, so review each provider's data handling before you sign in or send data.

## How to add a remote MCP server to Cursor with mcp.json with Awesome Remote MCP Servers

Repo: [punkpeye/awesome-remote-mcp-servers](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-remote-mcp-servers) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Point Cursor at a hosted MCP URL by editing one JSON config file.

**Who it is for:** A developer using Cursor or VS Code who wants a hosted MCP tool available in the editor's agent chat.

**The problem:** Setting up each tool locally takes time and creates a local process to maintain.

**The outcome:** The editor lists the remote server and can call its tools in chat.

### Steps

1. Open your client's mcp.json file.
2. Add an entry under mcpServers with a name and the server URL, for example linear pointing to https://mcp.linear.app/mcp.
3. Save the file and restart or reload the client.
4. Approve the OAuth sign-in if the entry is marked 🔐 in the list.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the repo awesome-remote-mcp-servers, add the server <server-name> with URL <server-url> to the mcpServers block of mcp.json, then reload the client. Expected output: the server shows as connected and one of its tools runs. Verify the URL matches the README entry exactly before saving.
```

### Caveat

Entries are only listed after the endpoint answers an MCP initialize handshake, but the list does not guarantee each tool's behavior.

## How to find a hosted MCP server for a specific task with Awesome Remote MCP Servers

Repo: [punkpeye/awesome-remote-mcp-servers](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-remote-mcp-servers) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Use a directory listed under Aggregators to locate a remote server that fits your job.

**Who it is for:** A builder or analyst who needs a tool for a task, such as search or data lookup, and does not know which remote server to use.

**The problem:** Manually checking hundreds of MCP servers for a fit takes hours.

**The outcome:** A shortlist of remote servers with their URLs, ready to add to a client.

### Steps

1. Open the Aggregators section of the list.
2. Choose a directory that matches your task, for example mcp.market at https://gw.mcp.market/mcp.
3. Connect that URL in your client using the mcp.json example.
4. Run a search through the directory's tool and note the URLs of the servers it returns.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the repo awesome-remote-mcp-servers, connect the Aggregators entry <directory-url> and search for servers that handle <task>. Expected output: a list of up to five server names with their URLs. Verify each URL appears in the README before recommending it.
```

### Caveat

Several aggregator entries charge per call in USDC over x402, so check pricing before running paid tools.

## How to connect a remote MCP server in Claude.ai or ChatGPT with Awesome Remote MCP Servers

Repo: [punkpeye/awesome-remote-mcp-servers](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-remote-mcp-servers) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Add a hosted MCP URL under Settings → Connectors without touching code.

**Who it is for:** A non-developer who uses Claude.ai or ChatGPT and wants a hosted tool, such as Linear, available in chat.

**The problem:** Local MCP setup requires a terminal and config files that most chat users avoid.

**The outcome:** The chat app can use the connected server's tools after one sign-in.

### Steps

1. Open Settings in Claude.ai or ChatGPT and go to Connectors.
2. Add the server URL from the list, for example https://mcp.linear.app/mcp.
3. Sign in through the OAuth window if the entry is marked 🔐.
4. Start a new chat and ask for a task that uses the connected tool.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the repo awesome-remote-mcp-servers, add the URL <server-url> under Settings → Connectors in my chat app, then ask it to <task>. Expected output: a reply that uses the connected server. Verify the connector shows as active before testing.
```

### Caveat

The README does not say which connector features each chat app supports, so confirm the server works in your plan before relying on it.
