extent analysis

TL;DR

Set the GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable to resolve the MCP server error.

Guidance

  • The error messages indicate a missing GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable, which is required for the MCP server to function correctly.
  • Verify that the environment variable is set by running echo $GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN in your terminal before attempting to use the MCP server.
  • To set the environment variable, use the command export GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_token_value, replacing your_token_value with your actual GitHub personal access token.
  • Ensure that the token has the necessary permissions and scopes to access the required GitHub resources.

Example

export GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=ghp_your_token_value

Replace ghp_your_token_value with your actual GitHub personal access token.

Notes

The solution assumes that the GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable is the only missing requirement. If additional environment variables or configurations are required, they may need to be set as well.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Set the GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable, as it is a straightforward solution to the error message.
