Begins connecting the caller's own GitHub account: it answers
the App's authorization page, carrying a state signed for this org and this
person. Every member may connect their own; it grants nothing the person does
not already hold on GitHub.

## Request

1 field, body `application/json` (required).

| Field    | In   | Type   | Required | Description                                                                                                                                      |
| -------- | ---- | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `return` | body | string | —        | Return is the page the callback sends the person back to, with complete=github\&grant=\<id> (or error=github\&reason=\<why>) added to its query. |

## Response

| Status    | Body                          | Meaning |
| --------- | ----------------------------- | ------- |
| `200`     | provider.githubUserConnectOut | ok      |
| `default` | problem-details               | refused |

`200` body — 1 field.

| Field          | In   | Type   | Always | Description                                              |
| -------------- | ---- | ------ | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| `authorizeUrl` | body | string | —      | AuthorizeURL is GitHub's authorization page for the App. |

Failure carries the platform error shape — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors).

## Examples

**CLI**

`hanzo` has no subcommand for this operation — the CLI serves only what cloud's live route table confirms. Use HTTP or an SDK.

**SDK**

**.ts**

```ts
import { Configuration, ProviderApi } from 'hanzoai';

const api = new ProviderApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.postProviderGithubUserConnect({ return: "<return>" });
```

**.py**

```python
from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration
from hanzoai.cloud.api import ProviderApi

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = ProviderApi(client).post_provider_github_user_connect(return="<return>")
```

**.go**

```go
cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration()
cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"))
client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg)

resp, _, err := client.ProviderAPI.PostProviderGithubUserConnect(context.Background()).Execute()
if err != nil {
	return err
}
```

**.rs**

```rust
use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, provider_api};

let mut cfg = Configuration::new();
cfg.bearer_access_token = std::env::var("HANZO_API_KEY").ok();

let result = provider_api::post_provider_github_user_connect(&cfg, Default::default()).await?;
```

**.java**

```java
import ai.hanzo.cloud.ApiClient;
import ai.hanzo.cloud.api.ProviderApi;

ApiClient client = new ApiClient();
client.setBearerToken(System.getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"));

var result = new ProviderApi(client).postProviderGithubUserConnect();
```

**HTTP**

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/provider/github/user/connect \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "return": "<return>"
     }'
```

**MCP**

MCP reaches **provider** through the `provider` tool, which names its 38 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. `describe` explains any of them:

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,
       "method": "tools/call",
       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "list_connections"
         }
       }
     }'
```
