Frequently Asked Questions
Didn't find your answer? Please don't hesitate to reach out.
The GitHub connector supports authentication via Personal Access Tokens (both fine-grained and classic). You provide your GitHub personal access token in the GithubPersonalAccessTokenAuthConfig when initializing the connector.
Can I use this connector with any AI agent framework?
The connector is compatible with any Python-based AI agent framework including LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, Pydantic AI, and custom implementations.
Does this connector support write operations?
Currently, the GitHub connector focuses on read operations for development workflow analysis and project management insights. Write operations (such as creating issues, updating pull requests, or deleting branches) are not currently supported, as indicated in the Unsupported questions section.
How is this different from the Airbyte data connector?
Agent connectors are specifically designed for AI agents and LLM applications. They provide natural language interfaces, optimized response formats, and seamless integration with agent frameworks, unlike traditional ETL-focused connectors.
Will there be a platform for agent connectors?
The hosted version with secure credential storage through Airbyte Cloud is already available. See the hosted usage section in the documentation for setup instructions.
