How to connect multiple Linear accounts to Claude

Claude's built-in Linear connector works well if you use one Linear account. But when you connect a second account, it replaces the first.

If you manage separate Linear accounts for different products, regions, or business units, that quickly becomes frustrating.

Composio fixes this by keeping each Linear account separate and giving it a simple name, such as linear-1, linear-2, or linear-3. Claude can then use the right Linear account when you mention that name.

• One Composio connector in Claude
• Two or more Linear accounts connected behind it
• A clear name for each account
• The ability to work in the right Linear account from a single Claude chat

For example:

Search my linear-1 and linear-2 Linear accounts for anything that needs my attention from the last 7 days. Tell me which account each item came from.

Using the linear-1 account, create a new bug for team Mobile.

• A Claude account
• A free Composio account
• Access to each Linear account you want to connect

If you use Claude Free, you can have one custom connector. If you already use that slot, you will need to remove the existing custom connector first.

If you use Claude Team or Enterprise, an Owner may need to add the connector for the organisation. Each member can then connect their own accounts.

Step 1: Add Composio to Claude (one-time process)

1. Click the button below. This will take you to the Claude Custom Connector modal.

Add to Claude

2. Click Continue

3. In the next modal, click Add

4. It will take you to the authentication page. Sign in to Composio and approve the connection.

Then return to Claude and make sure Composio is enabled.

Step 2: Connect your first Linear account

In a new Claude chat, type:

Connect my linear-1 Linear account to Composio. Call it linear-1.

Claude will give you a sign-in link.

1. Click the link.
2. Sign in to your linear-1 Linear account.
3. Review and approve Linear's permission request.
4. Return to Claude.

Claude should confirm that the account is connected.

The name linear-1 is how Claude knows which Linear account to use. Choose short, obvious names. Good examples include:

• linear-1
• linear-2
• linear-3

Step 3: Connect your second Linear account

In the same Claude chat, type:

Connect another Linear account. Call it linear-2.

Claude will give you a new sign-in link.

1. Open the link.
2. Sign in to the second Linear account.
3. Review and approve Linear's permission request.
4. Return to Claude.

Claude should confirm that linear-2 is connected.

Important: Check that Linear is showing the second account before you approve access. If the wrong account appears, sign out or open the link in an incognito or private window.

Repeat this step for every other Linear account you want to add. Give each connection a short, descriptive name such as linear-1, linear-2, linear-3, or client-acme.

Step 4: Check your connected Linear accounts

Ask Claude:

List my connected Linear accounts in Composio. Show each account's name and connection status.

You should see every account you added, and each connection should show as ACTIVE.

For an extra check, ask:

Show the account email or ID and the account name for each connected Linear account.

This helps you confirm that every label points to the correct Linear account and that you did not connect the same account twice.

Step 5: Use the right Linear account

Mention the account name whenever you ask Claude to work with Linear. This is especially important when an action could change data.

Review activity across accounts

Check linear-1 and linear-2 for anything new in Linear from the last 14 days. Group the results by account.

Add a comment to issue LIN-123

Using the linear-1 account, add a comment to issue LIN-123.

List all cycles for the Design team

Using the linear-2 account, list all cycles for the Design team.

Find something across accounts

Search all connected Linear accounts for customer@example.com. Show which account it appears in and summarise the latest activity.

For actions such as creating, changing, or deleting data, ask Claude to show you the planned action first and wait for your confirmation.

Add this to your Claude preferences or project instructions, replacing the examples with your own account names:

My Linear accounts are: linear-1 = my main account, linear-2 = my second account, and linear-3 = a client account. Always use the named account when I specify one. If I do not name an account, ask me which one to use. Before creating, changing, or deleting anything, show me the planned action and wait for confirmation.

If Claude's built-in Linear connector is also enabled, Claude may use it instead of Composio. For a clearer setup, turn off the built-in connector or explicitly tell Claude to use Linear through Composio.

The chat method is the quickest way to connect accounts. Use the dashboard when you want to add, rename, reconnect, or remove a connection.

1. Go to dashboard.composio.dev.

2. Sign in with the same Composio account you connected to Claude.
3. Open For You from the product switcher.
4. Find Linear.
5. Click Connect and complete the Linear authorisation flow.
6. Click Connect again to add another Linear account. Composio keeps it as a separate connection instead of replacing the first.
7. Give each connection a clear label, such as linear-1, linear-2, or linear-3.

If Linear opens the wrong account during authorisation, sign out first or use an incognito or private window.

From the dashboard, you can also:

• Rename a connection when a default label such as linear-2 is no longer useful.
• Disconnect or delete an account you no longer want Claude to access.
• Re-authorise an expired or revoked connection.
