Secure GitHub Access for AI Agents

GitHub houses your source code, CI/CD pipelines, secrets, and deployment configurations. AI coding agents are transforming development workflows, but GitHub's permission model grants tokens broad access across repositories. ScopeGate ensures your AI agent can read or contribute to specific repos without risking your entire codebase.

The Problem

A GitHub token with repo scope can read and write to every repository in your organization, access encrypted secrets, modify branch protection rules, manage webhooks, and delete repositories. A compromised coding agent could inject malicious code, exfiltrate proprietary source code, expose API keys stored in secrets, or disable security protections.

Granular Permissions

Specific repo access

Restrict the agent to one or more repositories by name, hiding all other repos in the organization.

Example

Agent can access 'frontend-app' and 'design-system' but cannot see 'infrastructure' or 'salary-calculator'.

Read-only code

Allow the agent to read source code, issues, and pull requests without pushing commits or merging.

Example

Agent reviews code in pull requests and leaves comments but cannot push changes or approve merges.

No admin access

Block all administrative actions including repository settings, branch protection, and team management.

Example

Agent can interact with code and issues but cannot change branch rules, add collaborators, or delete the repo.

No secrets access

Prevent the agent from reading, creating, or modifying repository or organization secrets.

Example

Agent can read workflow files but cannot access the encrypted secrets used in CI/CD pipelines.

Use Cases

  • Code review agent that reads pull requests and suggests improvements without pushing code
  • Documentation bot that reads source code to auto-generate API reference pages
  • Issue triage agent that labels and categorizes new issues based on content analysis
  • Dependency audit assistant that scans package files across specific repos for vulnerabilities

How It Works

1

Connect via OAuth

Authorize ScopeGate to access the service on your behalf. We never store raw credentials — only scoped OAuth tokens.

2

Set granular permissions

Choose exactly which resources, actions, and data your AI agent can access. Lock down everything else.

3

Get your MCP endpoint

Receive a unique MCP endpoint URL. Plug it into any AI agent — it can only do what you allowed.
