Follow these steps to connect Refacto to your Bitbucket Cloud workspace.

Invite the Refacto Bot

Invite the Refacto Bot User to your Bitbucket workspace to allow secure access to repositories during pull request reviews.
  • The bot requires read access to temporarily clone repositories for analysis.
  • Since Bitbucket App Passwords are deprecated from September 2025, Refacto uses an SSH-based authentication mechanism.
  • Add the bot to your workspace using the provided email and grant it read permissions for all repositories (recommended) or only those you want Refacto to review.
Bot Email: security@refacto.ai
