Github

This connects Claude to GitHub through Membrane's API layer, so you can query repos, manage issues and pull requests, create releases, and handle all the standard project management workflows without dealing with auth yourself. The free tier works fine. It's built around Membrane's CLI, which means you search for actions by intent rather than reading docs, and it handles OAuth and token refresh automatically. The action list is comprehensive enough for most repo management tasks, and when it's not, you can proxy raw requests directly to GitHub's API with auth still handled for you. Saves you from writing another OAuth flow or storing tokens locally.

Working with Github

This skill uses the Membrane CLI to interact with Github. Membrane handles authentication and credentials refresh automatically — so you can focus on the integration logic rather than auth plumbing.

Install the CLI

Install the Membrane CLI so you can run membrane from the terminal:

npm install -g @membranehq/cli@latest

Authentication

membrane login --tenant --clientName=<agentType>

This will either open a browser for authentication or print an authorization URL to the console, depending on whether interactive mode is available.

Headless environments: The command will print an authorization URL. Ask the user to open it in a browser. When they see a code after completing login, finish with:
