Include optional parentId when creating issues

[larryhudson]

Hi there, thanks for creating this MCP server! I'm trying it out using Cline in VS Code. I thought it would be useful to be able to specify a parent ID when creating a new issue, so that an existing issue can be broken up into smaller parts.

This PR adds the 'parentId' parameter to the 'create issue' tool and API calls. However, currently the 'parentId' needs to be a UUID, and I'm finding it a little difficult to use the 'search issues' tool - it's timing out for me. I'll try this out more later.

I tested this out by finding the UUID of an existing issue in the browser dev tools (looking at a GraphQL request) so at least including the 'parent ID' in the 'create issues' call is working.

Important

Add optional parentId to CreateIssueArgs and update createIssue method to support sub-issues in Linear.

• Behavior:
  • Add optional parentId to CreateIssueArgs in index.ts for creating sub-issues.
  • Update createIssue method in LinearMCPClient to include parentId when creating issues.
• Tools:
  • Update createIssueTool description and input schema to include parentId as an optional field for sub-issues.
