Understanding the GitHub Integration Tool
The GitHub tool connects 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:
Key Configuration Points
Token Name: Use a descriptive name like
YouWare MCP to easily identify this token laterRepository 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
What permissions does the Personal Access Token need?
What permissions does the Personal Access Token need?
For basic read access to public repositories, minimal permissions are sufficient. For private repositories or write access, you’ll need to grant additional scopes.
Is my code secure?
Is my code secure?
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.
Can I revoke access later?
Can I revoke access later?
Absolutely. You can revoke or regenerate tokens at any time from your GitHub settings.
Does this work with private repositories?
Does this work with private repositories?
Yes, but you’ll need to configure the token with appropriate permissions for private repository access.
