How to Set Up Claude Code GitHub Integration (Complete Guide)
Imagine pasting a screenshot of a broken UI into a GitHub issue, typing "@claude fix this bug," and getting a pull request with the fix minutes later. No one touches the code manually.
In this episode of This Week in AI, I walk through how to set up the Claude Code GitHub integration, show how adding MCPs like Playwright gives Claude the ability to actually see your app in a browser, and demo it live fixing real bugs and building features, all triggered from a GitHub issue.

📌 Key Tips:
Write a solid [CLAUDE.md](http://claude.md/) — it's Claude's project context every time it runs
Add the Playwright MCP for any UI work — it lets Claude screenshot and verify changes
Keep prompts specific, describe the bug, paste a screenshot, say what you expect
