What's Wrong?

My GitHub repository does not appear / is not readable via the "Add from GitHub" feature in claude.ai Chat, even though the GitHub App connection itself now completes without error.

GitHub Username: RamonRDR
Repository: python-study-guide (https://github.com/RamonRDR/python-study-guide)

What Should Happen?

After connecting the GitHub App with access granted to python-study-guide, the repository and its files should be browsable and readable via "Add from GitHub" in Chat.

Error Messages/Logs

{"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"state: Field required"},"request_id":"req_011Cem1kqkB852j8n5oHNySX"}

(also occurred previously with request_id req_011CekzjSLsJs5bpywwsdYfB)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install the Claude GitHub App (Claude Github MCP Connector) with access to the python-study-guide repository
  2. Received "state: Field required" error during the connection/redirect flow
  3. Revoked authorization on GitHub's side and reinstalled the app from scratch
  4. Reconnected the GitHub integration in claude.ai Settings > Connectors — connection now completes without error
  5. In a Chat conversation, used "Add from GitHub" and selected the python-study-guide repository
  6. No files appear to browse/select, and Claude is unable to read repository content
