Linear API Emulator

Stateful Linear GraphQL API emulation with organizations, users, teams, workflow states, issues, comments, labels, projects, cycles, OAuth apps, tokens, webhooks, and basic agent sessions.

Start

# Linear only
npx emulate --service linear

Default URL: http://localhost:4012 when all services are started, or http://localhost:4000 when Linear is the only service.

URL Mapping

| Real Linear URL | Emulator URL | |-----------------|--------------| | https://api.linear.app/graphql | $LINEAR_EMULATOR_URL/graphql | | https://linear.app/oauth/authorize | $LINEAR_EMULATOR_URL/oauth/authorize | | https://api.linear.app/oauth/token | $LINEAR_EMULATOR_URL/oauth/token | | https://api.linear.app/oauth/revoke | $LINEAR_EMULATOR_URL/oauth/revoke |

Auth

GraphQL accepts a bearer token or bare personal API key:

curl "$LINEAR_EMULATOR_URL/graphql" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer lin_test_admin" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"{ viewer { id email } }"}'

Scope checks are relaxed by default. Set linear.strict_scopes: true in seed config to require supported operation scopes such as read, write, issues:create, comments:create, and admin.

GraphQL Surface

Supported queries:

• viewer
• organization
• users, user
• teams, team
• workflowStates, workflowState
• issues, issue
• comments, comment
• issueLabels, issueLabel
• projects, project
• cycles, cycle
• webhooks, webhook
• agentSessions, agentSession

Supported mutations:

• issueCreate, issueUpdate, issueDelete, issueArchive, issueUnarchive
• commentCreate, commentUpdate, commentDelete
• issueLabelCreate, issueLabelUpdate, issueLabelDelete
• issueAddLabel, issueRemoveLabel
• webhookCreate, webhookDelete
• agentSessionCreateOnIssue, agentSessionCreateOnComment, agentSessionUpdate
• agentActivityCreate

Connections use Relay-style cursors with nodes, edges, and pageInfo.

OAuth

• GET /oauth/authorize - authorization endpoint with local user picker
• POST /oauth/authorize/callback - local user picker callback
• POST /oauth/token - authorization code, refresh token, and client credentials grants
• POST /oauth/revoke - revoke access or refresh tokens

OAuth apps can use actor: user or actor: app. The configured actor is authoritative. User actor apps use authorization code flows. App actor apps use the app install flow and can request client credentials tokens. App actor support is sufficient for local agent and service-account tests, but it is not full production Linear agent behavior.

Webhooks

Create local webhook subscriptions through webhookCreate or seed config. Supported writes dispatch Linear-shaped payloads with Linear-Delivery, Linear-Event, and Linear-Signature headers when a secret is configured.

Inspector

Open GET / in the Linear emulator to inspect issues, teams, users, projects, agent sessions, OAuth apps, tokens, webhook subscriptions, and webhook deliveries.

Current Limits

Full Linear schema coverage, exact production rate limiting, notification inbox behavior, rich document APIs, customer APIs, initiative APIs, exact search relevance, and full production agent behavior are not implemented.
