## AI overview

GitHub Tools adds Vercel Connect support for minting short-lived, scoped GitHub tokens at runtime. The integration supports presets, multi-tenant access controls, OIDC authentication on Vercel deployments, and local development setup.

## Source excerpt

GitHub Tools now has first-class support for Vercel Connect through the new @github-tools/sdk/connect subpath. Instead of storing a long-lived personal access token, your agent mints short-lived, scoped GitHub tokens at runtime from a connector. There is no secret to store, rotate, or leak. Attach a GitHub connector to your project and pick a preset: Scopes from presets: Presets such as code-review, issue-triage, and maintainer map to Connect scopes automatically, so tokens carry only the permissions the toolset needs. Works with eve: Import from @github-tools/sdk/connect/eve and one file in agent/tools/ registers the full toolset with Connect-backed auth. Multi-tenant ready: Override installationId, repositories, or scopes per call to target a specific installation or narrow access to individual repos. Zero-config on Vercel: Deployments automatically authenticate with the OIDC token. For local development, run vercel link and vercel env pull. For custom tool factories, connectGithubToken returns a lazy token provider you can pass to createGithubTools directly. Get started by creating a GitHub connector and reading the documentation.
