To quickly configure and deploy the GitHub MCP Server in your environment, you can use **[Mise](https://mise.jdx.dev)**, a deployment and configuration tool optimized for developer workflows.
92
+
93
+
Here’s how to get started:
94
+
95
+
1. Install `mise` by following the installation instructions at [https://mise.jdx.dev](https://mise.jdx.dev).
96
+
2. Use the following command to deploy the GitHub MCP Server configuration:
97
+
98
+
```bash
99
+
mise deploy github-mcp-server --token=<YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN> --use-docker
100
+
```
101
+
102
+
- Replace `<YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>` with your GitHub personal access token.
103
+
- Use `--use-docker` to run the server via Docker.
104
+
105
+
3. Confirm that the server is running using `mise status`.
106
+
