Troubleshooting

Common issues with GitHub Apps, pull request scans, reports, findings, and CLA checks.

GitHub and repositories

Repositories missing after install

  • Confirm the correct app is installed on the right GitHub org or user:
    Superagent Security for scans and repository reports, or
    Open CLA for CLA.
  • Re-select repository access in the GitHub App settings.
  • Open Integrations and verify connection status.
  • Refresh Repository: repos only appear after the app can access them.

No pull request checks

  • Ensure Superagent Security has pull request and contents permissions.
  • Open or update a PR on a connected repo to trigger webhooks.
  • Check the repository detail page after a few minutes for check activity.

CLA

Check fails for a signed contributor

  • Verify the signature matches the current template version hash on that repository.
  • For org contributions, confirm the corporate CLA exists and Open CLA has org membership read permission.

"Repository not seen by CLA app"

  • Open or update a pull request on the repository first.
  • Confirm Open CLA is installed on that repo and a template is assigned on the repository detail page.

Reports

Repository report not starting

  • Confirm Superagent Security is installed on the target repo with contents access.
  • For private repos, verify the repo appears under Repository with the Security capability badge.

Web app report not starting

  • Check that the target URL is public HTTP or HTTPS; localhost and private addresses are rejected.
  • If your WAF blocks the scanner, allowlist the static egress IP shown on the New report page when one is configured.

Report missing from the list

  • Open Red team and search by name. Reports from all target types share one list.

Findings

No findings after a report

  • Not every report produces findings immediately; check report status on the detail page.
  • GitHub advisories require advisory webhook permissions on Superagent Security.

MCP server

Connection problems with Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex CLI usually come down to the URL (https://www.superagent.sh/mcp, not the bare domain) or the API key. The MCP server guide has a full symptom table.
