Context for Developers
If your organization restricts GitHub IP ranges (e.g., via firewall allowlists), Claude's connectivity may break if Claude's backend IPs change or if GitHub returns errors. Check your firewall rules to ensure Claude's outbound IPs are allowed, and monitor the status page for a root cause analysis. As of this post, no workaround has been provided.
