Linear integration not working (“No default repository configured”)

Support Bug Reports
1

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Background Agent (GitHub, Slack, Web, Linear)

Describe the Bug

My Linear MCP in Cursor was working fine until today. It lost connection. I’ve been in a cycle of removing cursor integration in linear, linear MCP in cursor, github integrations in both. I finally got the MCP to work, but now when I try to assign an agent to Cursor for an issue within Linear, it acts like it’s working but comes up saying i don’t have a default repo set in Cursor. I’ve confirmed I do, removed, re-set the repo, refreshed on both ends to no avail. I see the same exact bug listed in the forums from a month or two ago, but it was just closed, with no resolution.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Set up cursor integration in Linear
  • Set up github integration in Cursor and Linear
  • set the default repo in Cursor
  • Make sure permissions in Github are both scoped to see the repos needed
  • Assign an issue in Linear to a Cursor agent
  • Wait about 10 seconds
  • Look at comment cursor left "No default repository configured… "

Expected Behavior

It should look at the default repo, and make changes there.

Operating System

⚠️ No default repository configured. Set a default repository in the Cursor dashboard

Hey, thanks for the report. The “No default repository configured” error means the Cursor Linear integration can’t read the repository from the Dashboard - this is a known issue the team is investigating.

Similar reports: Linear integration not working ("No default repository configured") and Linear integration stopped working, no visible errors

For now, try:

  • Reconnect GitHub integration in Cursor Dashboard - log out of GitHub and reauthorize, granting access to the repository
  • Check that the Cursor app has access to your private repository in GitHub organization (Settings > Integrations > GitHub)
  • If that doesn’t help - in your Linear comment, mention Cursor with explicit repository: @Cursor [repo=owner/repo-name]

Do you have the Request ID from the comment Cursor left in Linear? This will help us dig deeper.

I’ll pass it to the team for investigation.

How do I get the requestID? Here is the link to the comment: Linear Is that last bit the requestID?

Same issue here. When trying the workaround and specifying the repo (full url) in the comment, we get this error:

:warning: Could not find repository [https://github.com/ourorg/ourrepo in any of your connected SCM providers. Make sure the repository exists and you have access to it, or specify the full URL (e.g., repo=https://github.com/owner/name).
