How to let an agent act on GitHub through brokered MCP tools with Xyne Spaces

Connect GitHub through Claw Auth so an agent can work with your repos under your own access.

Credentials. The GitHub connection is tied to your own account, so a shared or leaked token would give an agent your repository access; keep connection secrets out of prompts and logs.

Who it is forA developer who wants an agent to open or read GitHub items, and who needs that access tied to their own account.

The problemGiving an agent a shared token for GitHub would let it act with more access than the person asking.

The outcomeThe agent calls GitHub tools through Claw Auth using your own configured connection, and only for actions you are allowed to take.

What you need first

  • Node.js 22.x and pnpm 10.15.0
  • A container runtime with Compose, such as OrbStack, Docker Desktop or Podman
  • Git and a terminal
  • Model provider settings if you want agents to run (see docs/setup/ai-providers.md)

Steps

  1. Start the stack with pnpm run up and sign in at http://localhost:5173.
  2. Open the MCP tools settings for your user and connect GitHub.
  3. Confirm Claw Auth at http://localhost:3003 shows the GitHub integration as available.
  4. Ask a Claw agent to list open items in a repository you own.
  5. Approve any write the agent proposes, such as opening an item, before it runs.

Prompt for your agent

In the xyne-spaces Claw setup, use the GitHub MCP tool through Claw Auth to list open issues in the repository <owner/repo>. Expected output: a list of issue titles and numbers. Verify that the tool call came from your own connection and that the result matches what you see on GitHub.

Caveat. The README lists GitHub among more than 50 brokered MCP integrations, but it does not document the exact GitHub setup screens, so check Claw Auth before assuming a given tool exists.
