Integrate GitHub Alternative with Claude, Cursor, Chatbots & AI Agents MCP Server

Q: How do I search for repositories with specific criteria?

Use the search_repos tool with GitHub's query syntax. Examples: "machine learning in:name language:python stars:>1000" finds Python ML repos with 1k+ stars; "org:microsoft pushed:>2024-01-01" finds Microsoft repos updated in 2024. The query supports qualifiers for language, stars, forks, org, topic, size and more.

Manage repositories, issues, pull requests and workflows via GitHub — search code, audit commits and track CI/CD from any AI agent.

How Vinkius protects your data

Is there a risk of the AI "going crazy" and deleting important company data?

No. With Vinkius, the AI operates on "rails". It can only make the exact moves you authorized in the tool's settings. It cannot invent routes, access other networks in your company, or decide to delete random files. If the action isn't in the approved catalog, the attempt is blocked instantly.

Can I set different limits for each virtual assistant on my team?

Absolutely. You have full control in our command center. You can create an AI agent that only "reads" data so the support team can answer questions, and another superpowered agent that can "edit" and "create" information exclusively for your operations team. Each AI gets exactly the level of access you allow.

How do I search for repositories with specific criteria?

Use the search_repos tool with GitHub's query syntax. Examples: "machine learning in:name language:python stars:>1000" finds Python ML repos with 1k+ stars; "org:microsoft pushed:>2024-01-01" finds Microsoft repos updated in 2024. The query supports qualifiers for language, stars, forks, org, topic, size and more.

Does the AI train on my tools or API data?

No. Vinkius enforces a strict Zero-Retention policy. Your data simply passes through our secure servers to complete the requested action and is instantly forgotten. Nothing you do here is ever stored, logged, or used to train any artificial intelligence.
