Frequently Asked Questions
Didn't find your answer? Please don't hesitate to reach out.
The Linear connector supports API key authentication. In open source mode, you provide your Linear API key directly (obtainable from Settings > API > Personal API keys). In hosted mode, credentials are stored securely in Airbyte Cloud and you authenticate using your Airbyte client ID and client secret instead.
Can I use this connector with any AI agent framework?
The connector is compatible with any Python-based AI agent framework including LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, Pydantic AI, and custom implementations.
Does this connector support write operations?
Yes, the Linear connector supports several write operations. It can create and update issues, create and update comments, and assign or reassign issues to users. However, delete operations (e.g., deleting issues, projects, or comments) and scheduling operations are not currently supported.
How is this different from the Airbyte data connector?
Agent connectors are specifically designed for AI agents and LLM applications. They provide natural language interfaces, optimized response formats, and seamless integration with agent frameworks, unlike traditional ETL-focused connectors.
Will there be a platform for agent connectors?
The hosted version with secure credential storage through Airbyte Cloud is already available. See the hosted usage section in the documentation for setup instructions.
