--- title: Bitbucket with your AI: your account, your token description: What your AI does on Bitbucket Cloud as you: lists and creates repositories, opens pull requests with their reviewers, reads and searches code uncloned. url: https://instibrain.ai/works-with/bitbucket updated: 2026-10-27 site: https://instibrain.ai/llms.txt --- # Bitbucket, worked with your own token. The REST API and git over HTTPS, as you. Your token waits in your secret store until a call needs it. What you can ask → Where the credential stays an api token of your own · rest and git · reviewers at creation `team/tools/bitbucket/bitbucket.md` slugs and review rules asked · an example Open the pull request for the invoice fix, with the usual reviewers. the AI, from the page Opened #412 into `main` in billing, with your page's two reviewers in the same call. where the token wentRead from your secret store inside the call, and never written into a URL or a config. who uses it, and why ## Who asks Bitbucket, and what for. Answers from code, and changes to it, without a clone. a tech lead ### An answer from a repo you never cloned. why The question sits in code you have not opened in a year. asks Where does the billing repo retry failed invoices? an engineering manager ### The week's merges, for the update. why The weekly update needs what actually merged. asks List what merged into main in billing this week. the CTO ### A new repository, in the right project. why A new service needs a home, private from day one. asks Create a private repo for the invoice worker in Billing. what you can ask ## Your AI reads, searches and changes your repositories, mostly without a clone. The API answers most questions alone. Git joins when the work needs the whole repository. List and read repositories The workspace's repositories, their details, their projects. Create a repository or a project Private by default. Needs the admin scope. Open a pull request, reviewers included Reviewers go in the same call, so notifications go out. Read a file without cloning A file, a directory, recent commits, merged pull requests. Search the code Each hit carries its path and matching lines. Pull and push over git Through a one-shot credential helper. No store keeps a copy. where the credential stays ## Your own token, your own scopes. API tokens replace retired app passwords. A workspace admin grants your repositories. in your Atlassian account, and in your secret store Made in your Atlassian settings, kept in your secret store, read at use. The API takes your email with the token. Git takes your Bitbucket username. in your brain A page names the workspace, its repositories and its review rules. what instibrain never touches ## The token never sits in plain sight. The token acts as you. Our server stores only the workspace page. - The token in a URL or a config. Read inside each call; for git, a one-shot helper keeps it off the process list. - A repository you were not given. A workspace admin decides what your account reaches. - A pull request without its reviewers. Required reviewers go into the creating call. the limits ## Your AI searches and creates within Bitbucket Cloud's own limits. Three limits of the service itself. | Limit | What it means | | Code search is tokenised | An identifier misses longer identifiers that start with it. | | Creating a repository needs admin | Without that scope, a token reads but cannot create. | | App passwords are gone | An Atlassian API token is the one credential. | before you connect it ## Your AI pushes your code with your token, and we hold neither. **Does instibrain hold my Bitbucket token or my code?** No. The token stays in your secret store; code stays on Bitbucket and your computer. **What can the AI reach?** Your account's repositories, within your token's scopes. **Does it push?** Over git, when you ask, with your page's reviewers on the pull request. ## Every pull request with the right reviewers. Name the workspace and who reviews what. Claude Code and Codex then open pull requests your way, as you.
