Implementation Reference
- The main handler function that implements the logic for the 'linear_updateProject' tool. It validates the input arguments using the isUpdateProjectArgs type guard and calls the LinearService.updateProject method to perform the update.
export function handleUpdateProject(linearService: LinearService) { return async (args: unknown) => { try { if (!isUpdateProjectArgs(args)) { throw new Error('Invalid arguments for updateProject'); } return await linearService.updateProject(args); } catch (error) { logError('Error updating project', error); throw error; } }; - Defines the input and output JSON schemas for the 'linear_updateProject' tool, including parameters like project ID, name, description, content, and state.
export const updateProjectToolDefinition: MCPToolDefinition = { name: 'linear_updateProject', description: 'Update an existing project in Linear', input_schema: { type: 'object', properties: { id: { type: 'string', description: 'ID of the project to update', }, name: { type: 'string', description: 'New name of the project', }, description: { type: 'string', description: 'New short summary of the project', }, content: { type: 'string', description: 'New content of the project (Markdown supported)', }, state: { type: 'string', description: "New state of the project (e.g., 'planned', 'started', 'paused', 'completed', 'canceled')", }, }, required: ['id'], }, output_schema: { type: 'object', properties: { id: { type: 'string' }, name: { type: 'string' }, description: { type: 'string' }, state: { type: 'string' }, url: { type: 'string' }, }, }, }; - src/tools/handlers/index.ts:81-81 (registration)Registers the 'linear_updateProject' tool by mapping it to the handleUpdateProject handler function within the registerToolHandlers factory.
