Integration

What Magnus can do

Know your repositories

Lists your most recently updated repositories - public and private - with descriptions and links.

github_list_repos

Read open issues

Lists open (or closed, or all) issues for any repository you can access, filtered so pull requests don't clutter the answer.

github_list_issues

File issues from chat

Creates a new issue with a title and markdown body in the repo you name. Describe the bug in conversation; Magnus writes it up properly.

github_create_issue

Try asking

  • What did I work on recently on GitHub?
  • What's still open in acme/webshop?
  • File an issue in acme/webshop: checkout button overlaps the footer on mobile.

How to connect

  1. Open Settings → Connections in Magnus.

Frequently asked questions

Does Magnus see private repositories?

It sees what your GitHub account can see, using your own OAuth token. Nothing is shared with other users, and disconnecting deletes the token.

Can Magnus merge or push code?

No. The GitHub tools are deliberately scoped to listing repos and reading/creating issues - no code-level write access.
