Overview - Corsair

Use Linear through Corsair: one client, typed API calls, local DB sync, and incoming webhooks. What you get:

18 typed API operations
5 synced entities (comments, issues, projects, teams, users) for fast .search() / .list()
9 incoming webhook event types

Setup

Install

npm install corsair @corsair-dev/linear

yarn add corsair @corsair-dev/linear

pnpm install corsair @corsair-dev/linear

bun add corsair @corsair-dev/linear

Add the plugin

corsair.ts

import Database from 'better-sqlite3';
import { createCorsair } from 'corsair';
import { linear } from '@corsair-dev/linear';

export const corsair = createCorsair({
	plugins: [
		linear({
			authType: 'managed',
		}),
	],
	database: new Database('corsair.db'),
	kek: process.env.CORSAIR_KEK!,
	hub: {
		projectApiKey: process.env.CORSAIR_DEV_API_KEY!,
		signingSecret: process.env.CORSAIR_DEV_SIGNING_SECRET!,
	},
});

Multi-tenancy is the default — scope calls with corsair.withTenant(id). See Quick start for KEK + Hub keys, and Multi-tenancy for account isolation.

Choose authentication

Managed OAuth (Recommended)
API Key
OAuth 2.0

No setup required. Corsair hosts the OAuth app for Linear — your tenants connect through Hub when they sign in.Provider walkthrough: Get Credentials.

linear({
	authType: 'managed',
})

More: Managed OAuth

No setup required yet. When you make your first request as a tenant, Corsair prompts for the API key.Provider walkthrough: Get Credentials.

linear()

More: API Key

Open hub.corsair.dev, navigate to your project, and enter the client ID and client secret from your Linear OAuth app.Provider walkthrough: Get Credentials.

linear({
	authType: 'oauth_2',
})

More: OAuth 2.0

Connect a tenant

Mint a connect link and send the tenant to it. Hub hosts the page and delivers the result to your app — see Connect / OAuth.

const { connectUrl } = await corsair.manage.connect.createLink({
	plugin: 'linear',
	tenantId: 'acme',
});
// redirect the user's browser to connectUrl

Example API calls

comments.list

const tenant = corsair.withTenant('acme');
await tenant.linear.api.comments.list({});

comments.create

const tenant = corsair.withTenant('acme');
await tenant.linear.api.comments.create({});

See the full list on the API page.

Query synced data

Synced entities support tenant.linear.db.<entity>.search() and .list(): comments, issues, projects, teams, users. See Database for filters and operators.

Webhooks

This plugin registers 9 webhook event types. Configure the provider to POST to your Corsair HTTP handler, then use webhookHooks on the plugin factory. See Webhooks for every event path and payload shape, and Webhooks concept for routing.
