EDIT 29.06.2025: 1 month has passed and we made it easier than ever to install @ claude on your own github repo in one command with the Claude Installer. Also we fixed tokens expiry issue, now you can keep using the same setup as long as you are a subscriber!

EDIT 04.06.2025: Anthropic released Claude Code for the Pro Plan ($20/month) so it now works for all paying users of Claude!!

So I already came here to say how disappointed I was to not be able to use my Claude Max Subscription with the new Github integration. I am already paying 100$/month and I have to create a pay per use key to use one of the key integration of Claude Code?

Anyway the community and "valued contributors" here told me that it was normal and that I was naive to assume that I would be able to use that subscription in CI/CD...

So guess what I made a fork of the Anthropic Github Action and now all of us can almost seamlessly use our Claude Max Subscription with the Anthropic Github App.

Here is how you do it:

1. Follow the official step to setup the Github App for your repository.

2. Make sure you are logged in locally in claude code with `/login` using your Claude Max Subscription.

3. Add CLAUDE_ACCESS_TOKEN, CLAUDE_REFRESH_TOKEN, CLAUDE_EXPIRES_AT secrets to your github repository. You will find the values for those in `~/.claude/.credentials.json` (on ubuntu), Or search "claude" in keychain on MacOS then "show password".

4. In your `workflow.yaml` instead of using the official `anthropic/claude-code-action` github action use the forked action: - name: Run Claude PR Action uses: grll/claude-code-action@beta with: use_oauth: true claude_access_token: ${{ secrets.CLAUDE_ACCESS_TOKEN }} claude_refresh_token: ${{ secrets.CLAUDE_REFRESH_TOKEN }} claude_expires_at: ${{ secrets.CLAUDE_EXPIRES_AT }}

Enjoy the Github App with your Claude Max subscription!
