Understanding the GitHub Connection Tool

The GitHub connection links your YouWare project to a GitHub repository, providing version control, collaboration features, and secure code backup. The AI can read your existing code to understand your project’s structure, tech stack, and coding style, ensuring seamlessly integrated code generation.

Version Control

Track every change with full rollback capability and GitHub workflows

Code Context

AI reads your codebase to understand structure, tech stack, and coding style

Team Collaboration

Work seamlessly with developers using Pull Requests and Issues

Generate Your GitHub Personal Access Token for MCP Connection

To connect GitHub, you need a Personal Access Token (PAT). Follow the visual guide below to create your token:
Step-by-step guide to creating GitHub Personal Access Token for YouWare MCP integration

​
Key Configuration Points

Token Name: Use a descriptive name like YouWare MCP to easily identify this token later
Repository Access: Select Public repositories for basic access. This allows MCP to read from your public repositories, which is typically sufficient for AI-powered webpage generation
Expiration: Choose an expiration time that fits your workflow. Shorter expiration times are more secure
Critical: Copy your personal access token immediately after generation—you won’t be able to see it again! Store it securely and never share it publicly or commit it to version control.

Real-World Use Cases

  • Pro Creator
  • Small Business
Scenario: Maintaining a public open-source library with auto-generated documentation that stays in sync with code changesHow It Helps: The AI reads your GitHub repository to understand code structure and generates the documentation site. With each new version push, the AI automatically updates docs—ensuring zero documentation drift.

Frequently Asked Questions

For basic read access to public repositories, minimal permissions are sufficient. For private repositories or write access, you’ll need to grant additional scopes.
Yes. The token is used only to read repository data via GitHub’s secure API. Always keep your token private and never share it publicly.
Absolutely. You can revoke or regenerate tokens at any time from your GitHub settings.
Yes, but you’ll need to configure the token with appropriate permissions for private repository access.
