Fix: Claude GitHub MCP Token Error

Token expired | GitHub authentication failed | MCP OAuth invalid

// The error

When your GitHub MCP token expires in Claude, you lose access to repositories, issues, pull requests, and all GitHub functionality mid-conversation. This is especially painful during code review or project management tasks.

// Why it happens

GitHub OAuth tokens issued through the MCP flow have a limited lifetime. When the token expires, Claude can no longer make API calls to GitHub on your behalf. GitHub's OAuth apps can use refresh tokens, but the MCP client may not handle the refresh flow correctly or in time.

The result: you get kicked out and have to go through the entire OAuth flow again, losing context in your current Claude conversation.

// How Bindify fixes it

Bindify manages your GitHub OAuth connection and keeps the token fresh. You authorize GitHub once through Bindify's dashboard, and Bindify handles all subsequent token refreshes in the background.

Claude connects to your permanent Bindify URL, which always has a valid GitHub token ready. No more 401 errors. No more broken workflows.
