What it can do

How to add Linear to Claude

Linear is in Claude's connector directory, so you do not need the address. The same steps work on the web and in the desktop app.

  1. In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors (Settings > Connectors in some versions).
  2. Browse the connectors and search for Linear.
  3. Press Connect, sign in and allow access.
  4. In a chat, press +, then Connectors, to switch it on or off.

On your phone: connectors belong to your Claude account. Add it once on claude.ai or in the desktop app, and it is in the Claude app for iPhone and Android too: in a chat, press +, then Connectors, and switch it on.

Not in your list? Add it as a custom connector with the address above: the steps for a custom connector.

How to add it to ChatGPT

  1. On chatgpt.com, on a Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan, turn on Developer mode (Settings > Security and login, or Settings > Apps > Advanced settings in some versions).
  2. Open Settings > Apps and create an app (the + or Create button).
  3. Name it Linear, paste the address, choose OAuth (or No authentication if the server is open) and press Create.
  4. Sign in when it asks.
  5. In a new chat, press + and pick Linear.

ChatGPT's menus move now and then; the idea stays the same: a new app, this address, OAuth. On business plans an admin may have to allow custom apps first.
