Implementation Reference
- src/tools/handlers/user-handlers.ts:7-16 (handler)The core handler function for the 'linear_getViewer' tool. It wraps the call to linearService.getUserInfo() with error handling.
export function handleGetViewer(linearService: LinearService) { return async (args: unknown) => { try { return await linearService.getUserInfo(); } catch (error) { logError('Error getting viewer information', error); throw error; } }; } - The MCPToolDefinition for 'linear_getViewer', specifying no input parameters and the expected output schema for viewer information.
export const getViewerToolDefinition: MCPToolDefinition = { name: 'linear_getViewer', description: 'Get information about the currently authenticated user', input_schema: { type: 'object', properties: {}, }, output_schema: { type: 'object', properties: { id: { type: 'string' }, name: { type: 'string' }, email: { type: 'string' }, active: { type: 'boolean' }, displayName: { type: 'string' }, organization: { type: 'object', properties: { id: { type: 'string' }, name: { type: 'string' }, }, }, }, }, }; - src/tools/handlers/index.ts:66-70 (registration)Registration of the 'linear_getViewer' handler within the registerToolHandlers function, mapping the tool name to the handler.
