CI/CD Pipelines

Integrate Mesrai directly into your CI/CD pipeline to automate code reviews as part of your build process.

Overview

Running Mesrai in your CI/CD pipeline enables:

• Automated reviews on every PR
• Quality gates that block merges for critical issues
• Consistent standards across all code changes
• Detailed reports as build artifacts

GitHub Actions

Coming Soon

We’re working on support for additional CI/CD platforms:

Troubleshooting

Action Not Running

1. Verify the workflow file is in .github/workflows/
2. Check that the trigger events match your PR actions
3. Ensure secrets are correctly configured

Authentication Errors

1. Verify MESRAI_TOKEN is set correctly
2. Check the token hasn’t expired
3. Ensure the token has the required permissions

Reviews Not Appearing

1. Check the action logs for errors
2. Verify the repository is connected in Mesrai dashboard
3. Ensure the PR has code changes (not just config files)

Next Steps

• Configure Webhooks
• View API Reference
• Set up GitHub Integration
