Does every team member need their own GitHub account?

No. Loopthink holds one key or token for GitHub. Your people sign in to Loopthink with their own identity, and every call to GitHub is logged under their name. Seats in GitHub stay where they are today.

Who has to add the connector in ChatGPT?

One person with the right to add connectors in your ChatGPT workspace, once. After that every team member enables it for themselves. Nobody pastes a key, nobody edits a config file.

Where does the GitHub key live?

In Loopthink, encrypted, in the EU. It never reaches ChatGPT and never reaches the people using the connector. Rotate it in GitHub whenever you like and paste the new one once.

Can somebody write to GitHub from the chat?

Not unless you switch it on. Write actions are a separate row in the permission matrix and are off for every role by default. If a role needs one write tool, you grant that one tool to that one role.

Free for one person and two connectors, no card. Pro is €19 a month for up to five people and every connector on the site, with roles, field masking and a 30-day audit. Team is €49 for ten people and adds your own REST APIs and SQL databases, your own domain and your own identity provider. No call needed.

We already run our own MCP server for GitHub. Does it still work?

Yes. Point it at Loopthink and it inherits the same login, roles, masking and audit. Nothing on the server has to change.

How to connect

Three steps. The third one is asking.

1
Connect GitHub in Loopthink
Fine-grained personal access token, read permissions, selected repositories.
2
Paste one URL into ChatGPT
Add a custom connector with a name and the URL. That is the whole form.
3
Ask
"Which pull requests have waited for a review for more than three days?" Every answer comes from your data, every call is logged.

Show all steps

1
GitHub → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Fine-grained tokens → Generate new token. Resource owner: your organisation. Repository access: only the repositories your team should reach.
2
Permissions: Contents Read, Issues Read, Pull requests Read, Actions Read. Metadata is included. Nothing on Write. An organisation owner approves the token once.
3
Paste the token into Loopthink. Your team never sees it; each person signs in with their own identity.
4
An admin turns on Developer mode: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings. On Enterprise and Edu, admins first grant it under Permissions & Roles → Connected Data.
5
Workspace settings → Apps → Create: paste your Loopthink connector URL, choose OAuth, click Scan Tools, then Create. Publish the draft under Workspace settings → Apps → Drafts.
6
Each team member picks Loopthink from the tools menu in a chat, or @mentions it, and signs in once with their own account.

Use cases

What people actually ask ChatGPT about GitHub.

Engineering
“Which pull requests have waited for a review for more than three days?”
Product
“Which issues labelled customer-bug were closed this sprint, and which are still open?”
Management
“How many releases shipped this quarter, and did any deploy workflow fail?”

Why Loopthink

GitHub has an MCP server. Why Loopthink?

GitHub's official MCP server signs in one person with OAuth and ships write tools for issues, pull requests, files and merges unless you remember the read-only switch.

Loopthink runs hosted and gives ChatGPT a URL. Every colleague signs in with their own account and sees only what you ticked.
