Connect GitHub when an answer needs the code or engineering work behind a customer complaint: the pull request that changed a flow customers are now confused by, the open issue tracking a bug support keeps seeing, or the failed deploy that lines up with a spike in tickets. The Rippit agent reads the repositories you allow and cites what it finds in its answer.

​
What the agent gets

  • Code: browse directories, read files, and search code on each repository’s default branch.
  • Commits and pull requests, with changed files, reviews, and review comments.
  • Issues and their comments.
  • GitHub Actions workflow runs and jobs, plus job logs if you turn them on.
  • Security alerts from code scanning, Dependabot, and secret scanning, if you turn them on. Secret values are never returned.
Every GitHub tool is read-only. The agent cannot push code, open pull requests, comment, or change settings.

​
Setup

GitHub connects through the Rippit GitHub App, so there is no URL, token, or OAuth app to set up.
1

Install the app in GitHub

Under Connections → MCP Servers, click Connect on GitHub. GitHub opens and asks you to install the Rippit app on an organization and choose which repositories it can read. If you are not an owner of that organization, GitHub sends the request to an owner, and you connect again after they approve it.
2

Choose who can use it

Back in Rippit, the connection card shows the repositories you selected. Under Allowed Rippit users, pick who can use the connection. It starts with only you. Everyone on the list shares access to every repository on the card.
3

Turn on extra access, if you want it

Actions logs and Security alerts are off by default. Turn them on in the connection’s settings if you want the agent to read them.
To add or remove repositories later, click Update Repo Access on the connection card. Repository selection happens in GitHub, not in Rippit.

​
Identity and scope

The connection belongs to the GitHub organization, not to any one person, and it is always shared at the organization level in Rippit. Only the Rippit users on the allowed list can use it. Each request the agent makes is limited to a single allowed repository. This connects to GitHub.com organizations. GitHub Enterprise Server is not supported.
