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.
• 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.
• After setting the environment variable, retry the operation that was causing the error to verify that it resolves the issue.

Example

export GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=ghp_your_token_value

Replace ghp_your_token_value with your actual GitHub personal access token.

Notes

The GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable should be set securely, and it's recommended to use a secrets management tool or a secure method to store and retrieve the token.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Set the GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable, as it directly addresses the error message and is a common solution for authentication issues with GitHub APIs.
