Install the SDK
Section titled “Install the SDK”
- Node.js
- Python
Terminal window
1 npm install @scalekit-sdk/node
Terminal window
1 pip install scalekit
Full SDK reference: Node.js | Python
Set your credentials
Section titled “Set your credentials”

Add your Scalekit credentials to your .env file. Find values in app.scalekit.com > Developers > API Credentials.
.env
```
SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL=<your-environment-url>
SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id>
SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret>
```
Set up the connector
Section titled “Set up the connector”

Register your Linear credentials with Scalekit so it handles the token lifecycle. You do this once per environment.
Dashboard setup steps
Register your Scalekit environment with the Linear connector so Scalekit handles the authentication flow and token lifecycle for you. The connection name you create will be used to identify and invoke the connection programmatically. Then complete the configuration in your application as follows:
1. Set up auth redirects
  - In Scalekit dashboard, go to AgentKit > Connections > Create Connection. Find Linear and click Create. Copy the redirect URI. It looks like https://<SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL>/sso/v1/oauth/<CONNECTION_ID>/callback.
  - Log in to Linear and go to Settings → API → OAuth applications.
  - Click New application, enter an application name and description, then paste the redirect URI from Scalekit into the Callback URLs field. Click Create application.
2. Get client credentials
  - In your Linear OAuth application, copy the Client ID and Client Secret.
3. Add credentials in Scalekit
  - In Scalekit dashboard, go to AgentKit > Connections and open the connection you created.
  - Enter your credentials:
    - Client ID (from above)
    - Client Secret (from above)
    - Permissions (scopes — see Linear OAuth scopes reference)
  - Click Save.
