Auth: OAuth (Connect Link) · Plans: Starter, Business, Enterprise · Tools: 8 · Category: Collaboration

List repos, query issues, create tickets, and search code across your GitHub organisation.

Who needs this: Engineering teams who want AI to query their GitHub repositories and issue tracker without leaving their AI assistant.

Example questions once connected

  • List all open issues assigned to me
  • How many pull requests are awaiting review?
  • Create a bug: login fails on iOS 18 — high priority
  • Search the codebase for uses of the deprecated payment function

Step-by-step setup

  1. Open the connector in your Msharti dashboard. Go to Connectors → GitHub → Connect. Msharti creates a unique OAuth link. Click Open in Browser.
  2. Log in with your GitHub account. A consent screen lists what Msharti can access. Review the permissions and click Accept or Continue.
  3. Confirm the connection in Msharti. You will be redirected back to the dashboard. The connector shows Connected with a green dot. Tokens are stored securely and refreshed automatically.

Tool reference

These are the tools the AI can call on this connector. Each tool fires automatically when you ask a relevant question.

list_repos() List repositories in the connected GitHub account or organisation.
Inputs optional: org, visibility (public/private/all), sort, limit
Try asking "Show me all private repos in the msharti-platform org"
Returns 6 private repos: msharti-gateway, msharti-dashboard, connector-mpesa, connector-kra, infra, docs-site.
get_issues() List issues for a repository with optional filters.
Inputs repo, optional: state (open/closed), assignee, labels, milestone
Try asking "Show me all open bugs in the msharti-gateway repo"
Returns 4 open bugs. Oldest: #142 "Token refresh race condition" (2 days, unassigned). Critical: #148 "STK timeout not surfaced to client".
create_issue() Create a new GitHub issue in a repository.
Inputs repo, title, optional: body, labels, assignee, milestone
Try asking "Create a bug in msharti-dashboard: the connector status badge shows red even after reconnect"
Returns Issue #156 created: "Connector status badge shows red after reconnect". Repo: msharti-dashboard. Labels: bug.
search_code() Search for a code pattern or symbol across repositories.
Inputs query, optional: repo, language, path
Try asking "Find all uses of the old mpesa_auth function in the codebase"
Returns 3 matches across 2 files: connector-mpesa/src/auth.ts (lines 42, 88), connector-mpesa/tests/auth.test.ts (line 17).
list_pull_requests() List pull requests for a repository with optional filters.
Inputs repo, optional: state (open/closed/merged), author, base branch
Try asking "How many pull requests are open and waiting for review?"
Returns 5 open PRs. 3 awaiting review: #201 "Add Zoho connector" (Lucy, 2 days), #198 "Rate limiter refactor" (James, 4 days), #195 "Fix CRB placeholder" (David, 1 week).

Limits

  • OAuth token scopes: repo (full) and read:org. The AI cannot delete repos or manage billing.
  • Code search uses GitHub's search index — recently pushed files may take up to a few minutes to appear.
  • Rate limit: 5,000 API requests/hour for authenticated users. Heavy repo-scanning tasks spread across requests automatically.
