I presumed Claude would then be able to clone repos, make commits, update the code in its container and then write it back to github.
Instead, the github connector does ..... nothing it all. It's very weird.
I tried getting it to use the `gh` CLI to do so but it either doesn't have the right permissions on its token or the requests are being intercepted and filtered by the sandbox it's in. I eventually dumped all the comments as JSON from my desktop and pasted it in at which point it handled them fine so it's certainly capable of working that way.
"i enabled github connector can you see it?"
Answer: "I don't see a GitHub connector in the available integrations. The search only returned a Microsoft Learn connector (not connected). It's possible the connector hasn't fully activated yet, or it may not be available in your current setup. Could you double-check in Settings → Integrations that it shows as connected?"
Multiple such checks and re-setups do nothing.
It's not an actual MCP. It's just built into the UI.
Anthropic has a lot of stuff that's way more difficult to use because of bad UI, spread over lots of different places.
