create_issue
Generate and submit new issues within the Plane MCP Server. Provide a project UUID and relevant issue details, including name and HTML description, to create and track tasks or problems efficiently.

Implementation Reference
- src/tools/issues.ts:175-200 (registration)Registers the 'create_issue' MCP tool with input schema (project_id and partial IssueSchema requiring name and description_html) and handler that POSTs to Plane API.
server.tool( "create_issue", "Create an issue. This requests project_id as uuid parameter. If you have a readable identifier for project, you can use the get_projects tool to get the project_id from it", { project_id: z.string().describe("The uuid identifier of the project to create the issue for"), issue_data: IssueSchema.partial().required({ name: true, description_html: true, }), }, async ({ project_id, issue_data }) => { const response = await makePlaneRequest( "POST", `workspaces/${process.env.PLANE_WORKSPACE_SLUG}/projects/${project_id}/issues/`, issue_data ); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response, null, 2), }, ], }; } ); - src/tools/issues.ts:185-200 (handler)Handler function executes the tool by sending a POST request to the Plane issues endpoint with the provided project_id and issue_data, returning the response as text content.
