Implementation Reference
- Handler function that validates the input arguments using isGetIssueByIdArgs and calls linearService.getIssueById(args.id) to fetch the issue./** * Handler for getting issue by ID */ export function handleGetIssueById(linearService: LinearService) { return async (args: unknown) => { try { if (!isGetIssueByIdArgs(args)) { throw new Error('Invalid arguments for getIssueById'); } return await linearService.getIssueById(args.id); } catch (error) { logError('Error getting issue by ID', error); throw error; } };
- Tool definition including input and output schemas for linear_getIssueById.export const getIssueByIdToolDefinition: MCPToolDefinition = { name: 'linear_getIssueById', description: 'Get a specific issue by ID or identifier (e.g., ABC-123)', input_schema: { type: 'object', properties: { id: { type: 'string', description: 'The ID or identifier of the issue (e.g., ABC-123)', }, }, required: ['id'], }, output_schema: { type: 'object', properties: { id: { type: 'string' }, identifier: { type: 'string' }, title: { type: 'string' }, description: { type: 'string' }, state: { type: 'string' }, priority: { type: 'number' }, estimate: { type: 'number' }, dueDate: { type: 'string' }, team: { type: 'object' }, assignee: { type: 'object' }, project: { type: 'object' }, cycle: { type: 'object' }, parent: { type: 'object' }, labels: { type: 'array', items: { type: 'object', properties: { id: { type: 'string' }, name: { type: 'string' }, color: { type: 'string' }, }, }, }, sortOrder: { type: 'number' }, createdAt: { type: 'string' }, updatedAt: { type: 'string' }, url: { type: 'string' }, comments: { type: 'array' }, }, }, };
