What does connecting a coding agent do?

Your coding agent reads Rapid Review’s review of its pull request, fixes what the review found, pushes, and waits for the next review, until the pull request is ready. You don’t pass comments or prompts between them. At the end, your agent tells you one line:
  • Ready to merge: nothing is open. The line says what was fixed, and names any finding your agent declined as not a defect, so you can look at those.
  • Stuck: findings are still open after 3 reviews, the account is out of credits, or a review didn’t run. Tell your agent to go on, or look at the pull request.
On the way, your agent also fixes failing checks and merge conflicts. If it can’t make a check pass, it tells you which.

How do I connect my agent?

Add Rapid Review’s server, https://app.rapidreview.dev/mcp{/* /fact */}, to your editor. The first time your agent uses it, it opens the Rapid Review app, where you sign in with GitHub and allow the agent. Connected agents in the app shows the same setup lines. Claude Code:
Codex (the CLI; the IDE extension and the desktop app share its settings):
Cursor, in ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or .cursor/mcp.json in a project:
claude.ai: in Settings, Connectors, add a custom connector with the same address. Claude Code’s sessions on the web then have it too. Your agent works on the repositories you can see in the Rapid Review app: those of accounts with the Rapid Review App installed.

How do I start it?

After your agent pushes to a pull request, ask it to get the pull request ready with Rapid Review. In Claude Code and Cursor you can also use the command finish_review, with the pull request, or with none for the branch you’re on. In Claude Code it’s /mcp__rapid-review__finish_review. Rapid Review’s server also tells agents that read its instructions, such as Claude Code and Codex, to start after each push.

What can my agent do as me?

On the consent page, you allow an agent to:
  • read Rapid Review’s reviews of pull requests in the repositories you can see in the app;
  • reply in a finding’s thread as you, to decline it as not a defect. Each reply ends with “Sent by a coding agent through Rapid Review’s review loop.”;
  • ask for a review of a pull request, at most 5 times a day on each. Each review uses credits, as any review does.
It acts with a GitHub token of its own, and can do no more than you can on GitHub. It never approves or merges a pull request.

How long does a connection last?

30 days from when you allowed the agent, however often it’s used. Then your agent asks you to allow it again. Connected agents in the app lists your agents, with when each was connected, last used and ends. “Disconnect” ends an agent’s access at once.

What happens to the threads of fixed findings?

Rapid Review resolves them without a reply, so a round of fixes doesn’t notify anyone. See Fixed findings.
