TL;DR

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

Guidance

• The errors indicate a missing GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable, which is required for the MCP server to function correctly.
• To fix this, you need to set the GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable before running the application.
• You can do this by running the command export GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_token_value in your terminal, replacing your_token_value with your actual GitHub personal access token.
• If you are using a .env file, you can add the variable there and restart your application.

Example

export GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=ghp_your_token_value

Replace ghp_your_token_value with your actual GitHub personal access token.

Notes

• Make sure to replace your_token_value with your actual GitHub personal access token.
• If you are still experiencing issues after setting the environment variable, try restarting your application or checking the GitHub token permissions.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Set the GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable to resolve the MCP server error. This should allow the application to function correctly until a more permanent fix is available.
