# Set a repository's configuration source

> GitHub Cloud organization admins only. Uses the existing source validation and optimistic concurrency. Supply updatedAt from the latest read, or null when no policy exists.

> [tab] CLI Tool
>
> ```bash
> coderabbit api request -X PUT "/repositories/$REPOSITORY_ID/configuration/source" --input request.json
> ```
>
> To install and sign in to the CLI, see [Call from the CLI](https://docs.coderabbit.ai/api/cli.md).

> [tab] MCP Server
>
> An agent connected to the [CodeRabbit MCP server](https://docs.coderabbit.ai/api/mcp.md) runs this operation as the `set_repository_configuration_source` tool. The connection selects the organization, so the arguments have no `org_id` or `org_name`.
