Use GitHub from Claude Code
Bring GitHub context into engineering work while Type keeps app access attached to the teammate and workspace.
AI agent integrationGitHub
GitHub integration for multiplayer collaboration with AI agents using Claude Code or Codex
One governed connection your whole team and its AI agents can share, with approved actions and human review, so working in GitHub never means pasting credentials into a prompt.
Automate GitHub with Codex
Let coding agents ask for the right app action, preserve conversation context, and keep humans in the approval loop.
Connect open agent workflows
Use Type as the collaboration layer around OpenClaw and other LLM workflows that need app access.
Developer Tools & IT
What the GitHub integration exposes
GitHub is a code hosting platform for version control and collaboration, offering Git-based repository management, issue tracking, and continuous integration features
One connection, many teammates
Connect GitHub once, then decide which teammates can use it for threads, automations, skills, and coding work.
Representative actions
- Create issue
Create a GitHub issue with title, body, labels, assignees, milestone, and project-ready context.
- Create pull request
Open a pull request between branches with a generated title, description, reviewers, and draft state.
- Comment on issue or pull request
Add a comment to an issue or pull request so agents can report findings, approvals, or next steps.
- Create or update file
Commit file content changes to a repository branch with a message and optional expected SHA guard.
- Dispatch workflow run
Start a GitHub Actions workflow with branch and input parameters for release, deploy, or verification tasks.
- Label and triage issue
Apply labels and routing metadata to issues or pull requests as part of support and engineering triage.
Representative triggers
- New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
- Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
- New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting GitHub
Can Claude Code use GitHub?
Yes. Type lets an AI teammate use connected GitHub actions from a governed workspace context, so Claude Code work can reference the app without copying credentials into a local prompt.
Can Codex work with GitHub through Type?
Yes. Codex can collaborate through Type with app context, skills, and approved actions. The GitHub catalog entry includes public integration details and example capabilities where available.
Is this the same as a GitHub MCP server?
Type exposes connected app capabilities to AI teammates and coding agents through Type's integration layer. Teams use it when they want shared app access, human review, and teammate-level permissions around agent work.
