MCP

Give your agent Linear (API key) tools

Every Linear (API key) action is exposed as an MCP tool on Pipedream's remote server. Point a client at it with your end user's ID and Connect resolves that user's Linear (API key) account for each tool call — you store no tokens.

// accessToken: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide
const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": "{project_id}",
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "linear_app",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Create Comment:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "linear_app-create-comment",
  arguments: {
    teamId: "Team",
    issueId: "Issue",
  },
})

API PROXY

Call the Linear (API key) API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Linear (API key) API with the connected user's credentials attached. You store no tokens and write no refresh logic.

const resp = await pd.proxy.get({
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  accountId: "apn_xxxxxxx",
  url: "https://api.linear.app/graphql",
})

// Any allowed Linear (API key) endpoint works here. Pipedream attaches the
// connected account's credentials to the outgoing request.

SDK

Run Linear (API key) actions from your backend

Connect a user's Linear (API key) account once, then run Create Comment on their behalf from your own code — TypeScript, Python, or plain HTTP.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "linear_app-create-comment",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    linear_app: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    teamId: "Team",
    issueId: "Issue",
  },
})
