How do I connect GitHub?

Add the GitHub piece to a flow, then authenticate with OAuth 2.0 or Custom auth or API key. Once connected, its 14 triggers and 19 actions are available anywhere in the builder.

What can I automate with GitHub?

"New Pull Request" can start a flow that runs "Create Issue", and you can chain GitHub together with any of 770+ other apps and AI steps in between.

Can I self-host the GitHub integration?

Yes. Activepieces is fully self-hostable, so you can run the GitHub piece on your own infrastructure with your connections and your data staying in your environment.

Can my AI agent use GitHub as a tool?

Yes. Every piece you connect can be exposed over one Activepieces MCP server, so Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or any MCP client can call GitHub actions as tools.
