  --linear-key=$LINEAR_API_KEY \
  --github-token=$GITHUB_TOKEN

# Install globally
mcp-ticketer install-mcp-server --scope global

# Preview changes
mcp-ticketer install-mcp-server --dry-run
```

### Makefile Shortcuts
```bash
make install-mcp-server          # Auto-detect and install
make install-mcp-server-global   # Install globally
make install-mcp-server-dry-run  # Preview installation
