TL;DR

Set the required environment variables GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN and GREPTILE_API_KEY to resolve the plugin MCP server errors.

Guidance

• The errors indicate missing environment variables GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN and GREPTILE_API_KEY, which are required for the MCP server to function correctly.
• To fix the issue, set these environment variables with the correct values for your GitHub and Greptile accounts.
• Additionally, the MaxFileReadTokenExceededError suggests that you may need to adjust your file reading approach to stay within the token limit, potentially by using offset and limit parameters or searching for specific content.
• Verify that the environment variables are set correctly by checking your system's environment variable settings or by printing them in your code.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue is related to environment variable setup, which is system-dependent.

Notes

The provided error messages are truncated, so there might be additional issues or details not captured here. Ensure you address all mentioned errors and warnings.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by setting the required environment variables GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN and GREPTILE_API_KEY. This should resolve the plugin MCP server errors related to missing environment variables.
