Settings & Configuration

Configure your Bynary deployment, from personal preferences to organisation-wide AI and GitHub connections, team management and deployment infrastructure.

Purpose

Settings in Bynary are organised by scope: your account, your organisation, people and platform administration. Access to each section depends on your role. Project-specific options, such as PM mode, review gates and MCP servers, live in each project's settings.

Connecting AI and GitHub
1

Open AI Connectivity

Go to Settings → AI Connectivity.
2

Add Anthropic Credentials

Enter and test your Anthropic API key, which is required for AI features. You can also enable a Claude subscription token for builds.
3

Open GitHub Connectivity

Go to Settings → GitHub Connectivity. Register your own Bynary GitHub App and install it on your organisation, which is the preferred option, or add a Personal Access Token with repo scope.
Settings Sections

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my API keys stored securely?

Yes. API keys, tokens and MCP credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before being stored, and decrypted only at the point of use.

What roles are available?

Bynary has 4 roles: Super Admin (platform administration), Admin, Member (full workflow access) and Viewer (read-only). Admin can be granted for the whole system, a team or a single project, and inherits downward.

Which AI model does Bynary use?

Model selection is automatic. Bynary routes each task to a suitable Claude model, and every call's cost is logged.

How do MCP servers work?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers give the AI access to external tools. Configure them per project using one of 10 presets, such as Supabase, Stripe or Sentry, or as a custom server. For services that support it, environment isolation keeps the build agent away from production data.

Can teams use their own credentials?

Yes. A team can override the organisation's Anthropic key, Claude subscription token and GitHub connection, which helps with cost and access isolation.

Current Considerations

We've thought carefully about these areas. Some are intentional design choices, others are on our roadmap.

Single-tenant GitHub App

Each deployment registers its own GitHub App. There is no shared Bynary app to install.

MCP servers are per project

MCP servers are configured separately for each project. There is no global configuration.
