Linear authentication and configuration

This page documents the authentication and configuration options for the Linear agent connector.

Authentication

Open source execution

In open source mode, you provide API credentials directly to the connector.

OAuth

This authentication method isn't available for this connector.

Token

Field Name	Type	Required	Description
api_key	str	Yes	Your Linear API key from Settings > API > Personal API keys

from airbyte_agent_linear import LinearConnector
from airbyte_agent_linear.models import LinearAuthConfig

connector = LinearConnector(
    auth_config=LinearAuthConfig(
        api_key="<Your Linear API key from Settings > API > Personal API keys>"
    )
)

Hosted execution

In hosted mode, you first create a connector via the Airbyte API (providing your OAuth or Token credentials), then execute operations using either the Python SDK or API. If you need a step-by-step guide, see the hosted execution tutorial.

OAuth

This authentication method isn't available for this connector.

Token

Create a connector with Token credentials:

curl -X POST 'https://api.airbyte.ai/v1/integrations/connectors' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <SCOPED_TOKEN>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "external_user_id": "<EXTERNAL_USER_ID>",
    "connector_type": "Linear",
    "credentials": {
      "api_key": "<Your Linear API key from Settings > API > Personal API keys>"
    }
  }'

Execution

After creating the connector, execute operations using either the Python SDK or API.

Python SDK

from airbyte_agent_linear import LinearConnector

connector = LinearConnector(
    external_user_id="<your-scoped-token>",
    airbyte_client_id="<your-client-id>",
    airbyte_client_secret="<your-client-secret>"
)

@agent.tool_plain # assumes you're using Pydantic AI
@LinearConnector.tool_utils
async def linear_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
    return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})

API

curl -X POST 'https://api.airbyte.ai/api/v1/connectors/sources/<connector_id>/execute' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <SCOPED_TOKEN>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"entity": "<entity>", "action": "<action>", "params": {}}'
