Create your Faction organization
Sign up free and create an organization. This is where admins connect tools once, so teammates never wire up their own integrations.
All integrations
How to connect GitHub to ChatGPT
Search issues and pull requests from GitHub in chat during triage, launches, and customer-facing investigations.
GitHub
Issue and PR context for shipping teams.
This connector covers GitHub issues, pull requests, and repository search via a shared token. For live code access, Faction's Codebases integration is usually the better fit.
Connect once at the org level
Set up GitHub a single time instead of asking everyone to paste their own keys into ChatGPT.
Workspace boundaries
Give engineering and other teams the GitHub tools they need without one shared bundle for the whole company.
Tool-scoped access
Each workspace URL exposes only the GitHub actions admins turn on, not every connector in your org.
Works across AI clients
Use the same workspace URL in ChatGPT, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP client your team prefers.
Step by step
Connect GitHub to ChatGPT
Six steps from a fresh organization to chatting with GitHub inside ChatGPT.
02
Connect GitHub from the catalog
Open the integration catalog in Faction and connect GitHub with an API key. Faction stores it once for the whole org.
03
Bundle GitHub into a workspace
Create a workspace for the team that needs it, such as engineering, and add GitHub. Admins choose exactly which tools are on for that workspace.
04
Copy your workspace MCP URL
Every workspace exposes one MCP URL with only the tools you enabled. Copy it from the workspace settings in Faction.
05
Add the URL to ChatGPT
In ChatGPT, go to Settings, then Connectors and add your Faction workspace URL.
- In ChatGPT, open Settings and go to Connectors.
- Add a custom connector and paste your Faction workspace MCP URL.
- Confirm access. ChatGPT can now use the tools your workspace allows.
06
Start chatting
Ask ChatGPT to use GitHub in plain language. Faction handles auth and scopes behind one URL.
- "List open PRs for the checkout flow."
- "Find issues labeled launch-blocker."
- "Summarize comments on issue #482."
Your workspace URL
One link connects your whole team.
Faction gives your team a shared AI workspace that plugs into the tools you already use. Each workspace gets one link (an MCP URL) that includes only the tools your admins turn on. Paste it into ChatGPT once and everyone is connected. No keys to copy, nothing to set up per person.

FAQs
Do I have to set up GitHub for every teammate?
No. An admin connects GitHub once at the org level. Teammates just add the workspace URL to ChatGPT and start chatting.
How does authentication work?
API key sign-in. Personal access tokens are team-wide — each member uses the same org token.
Does this work with ChatGPT?
Yes. ChatGPT supports remote MCP connectors, so you can point it at any Faction workspace URL and use the tools that workspace allows.
Can I control which tools ChatGPT can use?
Yes. Each workspace exposes only the tools admins turn on, so the URL you share never grants more than intended.
Does this connector read repository code?
No. It covers issues, pull requests, and repo search. Use Faction Codebases when you need read-only access to repository files.
