Description

Claude Code Web does not update the repository list after reinstalling and reconfiguring the GitHub app. It keeps showing stale/old repositories from previously connected organizations, even after a complete reset.

Steps to Reproduce

Noticed repos from org Namiyoga-New (3 repos: namiyoga-studio-prod, namiyoga-dev, namiyoga-reservas) were not appearing in Claude Code Web repo selector
Went to github.com/settings/installations → installed the "Claude" GitHub App on the Namiyoga-New org with "All repositories" access
Confirmed installation was successful (shows "Installed 1 minute ago" on GitHub)
Refreshed Claude Code Web → repos still not showing
Logged out and back in to Claude Code Web → still old repos
Went to github.com/settings/apps/authorizations → confirmed Claude has access to all 4 orgs (Namiyoga-New, Progetti-Alessio, StudyIA-2026, talionwar)
Revoked Claude from "Authorized GitHub Apps" tab → re-authorized → still old repos
Revoked all apps from "Authorized OAuth Apps" tab → still old repos
Uninstalled Claude GitHub App from ALL orgs via github.com/settings/installations
Re-connected GitHub from Claude Code Web from scratch → reinstalled on all orgs → still showing the exact same old repo list
Cleared browser cache and cookies for claude.ai
Opened Claude Code Web in incognito window, logged in fresh, reconnected GitHub → still the same stale repo list

Expected Behavior

After reinstalling and re-authorizing the GitHub app, Claude Code Web should show the current list of repositories from all authorized organizations, including the newly added org (Namiyoga-New).

Actual Behavior

Claude Code Web continues to show a stale list of repos. The list includes repos from an org (NamiYoga-Legacy) that was never explicitly connected to the new Claude installation, while repos from the newly installed org (Namiyoga-New) do not appear.

Stale repos shown (from NamiYoga-Legacy, not currently installed):

nami-music-creator
3dposeConverter
namiyoga-locations
rag-server
2d-poser
nami-sequence-aio

Missing repos (from Namiyoga-New, correctly installed):

namiyoga-studio-prod
namiyoga-dev
namiyoga-reservas

Environment

Claude Code Web (claude.ai/code)
Browser: Safari/macOS
GitHub account: talionwar
Organizations: Namiyoga-New, StudyIA-2026, Progetti-Alessio, talionwar
Date: 2026-04-05

Conclusion

The repository list appears to be cached server-side and never invalidated, even after a complete uninstall/reinstall cycle of the GitHub app across all organizations.

Not a duplicate — I've already tried all the workarounds mentioned in the suggested duplicate issues (#18467, #12839, #11730):

Disconnected and reconnected GitHub from Claude settings (multiple times)
Revoked Claude from "Authorized GitHub Apps" and re-authorized
Revoked all OAuth apps
Uninstalled Claude GitHub App from ALL orgs and reinstalled from scratch
Cleared browser cache and cookies for claude.ai
Tried in incognito window with fresh login
Toggled between "All repositories" and "Select repositories"

None of these work. The repo list remains stale. This appears to be a server-side caching issue on Anthropic's end — GitHub shows the correct installations and permissions, but Claude Code Web never picks up the updated repo list.

The key difference from the duplicates: this isn't about repos not appearing due to missing permissions. The permissions are correct on GitHub's side. Claude's backend simply doesn't refresh its cached view of my repositories, even after a complete teardown and reinstall cycle.

Proof the cache is stale:

Repos from Namiyoga-New (newly created org, 3 repos, app installed) → never appear
Repos from NamiYoga-Legacy (old org, app NOT reinstalled) → still show up

I have same exact issue that if I add more repositories in github to Claude app, then those show up in repo picker, but Github event triggers for scheduled tasks don't recognize it.

I faced the same issue. Solved by disconnecting from github in https://claude.ai/new#settings/customize-connectors/integration-github , reconnecting Github integration and logout, login to Claude.
Not ideal solution but it works.
