Works with AI assistants
Use GitHub Actions: its GitHub Actions Workflows API lets you manually trigger a workflow run in a single step (POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/workflows/{workflow_id}/dispatches). GitHub Actions also has an MCP server, so an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT can do it for you. capabilities.work can help you get signed up and connected.
- How do I kick off a workflow on demand through the API?
- Can I pass inputs when I manually trigger a workflow_dispatch workflow?
- Which branch or tag does a manually dispatched workflow run against?
Say it to your AI assistant
- Trigger workflow {workflow_id} in {owner}/{repo} on {ref}.
- Dispatch {workflow_id} on branch {ref} with inputs {inputs}.
