Linear Integration

Official

Connects Claude directly to your Linear workspace so it can create issues, update task status, assign work, and query project data — all from a conversation. Instead of switching between Claude and Linear to look up issue IDs or copy-paste task details, you describe what you want in plain English and Claude handles the Linear API calls. Useful for engineering teams that run their entire project lifecycle in Linear and want Claude as an AI project manager layer.
