Showing 20 of 781. Your agent can use every one of them; you don't pick them, you ask for the outcome.

How it works

Connected in a minute. In your control after that.

  1. Connect GitHub

    Open Connections, find GitHub and press Connect. You sign in on GitHub's own page; there's nothing to configure.

  2. Choose what it may do

    Full, Ask first or Read-only, for the whole workspace. Share GitHub with the team, or keep it under each person's own login.

  3. Ask from anywhere

    Text your agent on iMessage or WhatsApp, message it in Slack or the app, or put a GitHub job on a schedule: every morning, every Friday.

Works with your other tools

GitHub, together with the rest of your stack.

Ask for an outcome that spans apps and your agent pulls from each one, cross-checks them and sends back one answer.

Questions

GitHub and Cicada, answered.

Does Cicada integrate with GitHub?

Yes. GitHub is one of the 888 apps with a page here, and it connects with one click. Once it's connected, every agent in your workspace can use it from any channel you talk to them on.

How do I connect GitHub?

Open Connections, find GitHub and press Connect. You sign in on GitHub's own page; there's nothing to configure.

What can Cicada do in GitHub?

781 actions: 409 that read from GitHub and 372 that change things in it, for example list branches, get a reference, list stargazers. It picks the right ones for what you ask and chains them with your other apps.

Can I stop Cicada changing things in GitHub?

Yes. In Connections, set GitHub to Read-only and no agent in your workspace can create, change or delete anything in it; it can still read. Ask first lets it act but makes it check with you before each change.

Can I ask about GitHub from my phone?

Yes. Text your agent on iMessage or WhatsApp, or message it in Slack or the app. It answers in the same thread, and it can run GitHub jobs on a schedule, like every morning at 8.

Is my GitHub data safe?

Your GitHub login or key is stored on the server and never appears in a conversation. Disconnecting removes it. Every action an agent takes is in your activity log, and your data isn't used to train models.
