Linear (API key) ACTION
Create Issue
Creates a new issue in Linear. Requires a team ID and title; all other fields are optional. Use Get Teams to discover valid team IDs, List Workflow States to find state IDs, List Users to find assignee IDs, and List Labels to find label IDs. Example:
teamId: "9d1c3f7e-2b48-4c6a-9f1e-5a7b8c9d0e1f", title: "Fix login redirect on mobile" → returns {success: true, issue: {id: "iss_01", identifier: "ENG-42", title: "Fix login redirect on mobile"}}. See the documentation.- Action

IMPLEMENTATION
Call this tool
Connect a user's Linear (API key) account once, then configure and run Create Issue from your backend or agent.
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-issue",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
linear_app: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
teamId: "Team",
projectId: "Project",
},
})
console.log(result)curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/actions/run \

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

// fill the arguments itself:

Inputs
Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
teamId Team | string | The team's id as returned by the Linear API — a UUID such as 9d1c3f7e-2b48-4c6a-9f1e-5a7b8c9d0e1f. The short team key shown in issue identifiers such as ENG-123 is rejected. Use Get Teams to discover valid team IDs. Required |
projectId Project | string | The UUID of the project (e.g. a1b2c3d4-0000-0000-0000-000000000001). Use List Projects to find valid project IDs. Optional |
title Title | string | The title of the issue. Required |
description Description | string | The issue description in markdown format Optional |
assigneeId Assignee | string | The UUID of the user to assign (e.g. abc12345-0000-0000-0000-000000000001). Use List Users to discover valid user IDs. Optional |
stateId State (Status) | string | The UUID of the workflow state (status) to assign to the issue (e.g. 6758492b-ae98-454c-b944-eed5ade57d09). Use List Workflow States to find valid state IDs. Optional |
labelIds Label IDs | string[] | The UUIDs of the labels to apply to the issue (e.g. ["ab1b2c3d-0000-0000-0000-000000000005"]). Use List Labels to find valid label IDs. Optional |
priority Priority | integer | The priority of the issue Optional |
