9<Note>Connections are added inside an [Access bundle](/docs/claude-tag/admins/add-connections#your-first-access-bundle). At [`claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag`](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag), open **Access bundles** in the left navigation, click into a bundle (or **Create** one), and go to its **Credentials** tab.</Note>
9Connecting Linear lets Claude file tickets and post status updates from a thread in any channel where the connector is on. Claude connects with its own credential, not a person's.

11Connecting Linear lets Claude file tickets and post status updates from a thread from any channel under the bundle's scope. You add it as a connection inside an [Access bundle](/docs/claude-tag/admins/add-connections); the credential belongs to the agent, not to any person.
11Pair this connector with the Linear plugin from Anthropic's plugin marketplace so Claude knows how to call the API. This connector calls Linear's HTTP API. It isn't an MCP server or a member's personal claude.ai connector.

13Pair this connection with the Linear plugin from Anthropic's plugin marketplace so Claude knows how to call the API; see [Attach plugins](/docs/claude-tag/admins/add-connections#attach-plugins). This is an HTTP API connection, not an MCP server or a personal claude.ai connector.

25In the bundle, click **Connect** next to **Linear**.
23Go to [**Organization settings > Claude Tag > Connectors**](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag?access=connectors), click **Add**, and select **Linear**. Fill in these fields in the connect form.

2725| Field | Value |
2826| :- | :- |
2927| Claude's API key | The API key from Linear |
30| Allowed websites | `api.linear.app` |
28| Allowed websites | `api.linear.app` (preset) |

30If the connect form offers to include the Linear plugin, leave that box selected; otherwise add the plugin on the [**Skills and plugins**](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag?access=plugins) tab. The first credential you add for a service from the **Connectors** tab is on in every workspace and channel as soon as you save it. To give it narrower reach, see [where a new connector applies](/docs/claude-tag/admins/add-connections#add-a-connection) before you save the connector. Click **Connect** to save the connector.

3232The Agent Proxy injects the credential at the network boundary; the model and the sandbox are not given the key. See [how Agent Proxy works](/docs/claude-tag/concepts/agent-identity#agent-proxy).
