The GitHub MCP server must be spawned withGITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN as an environment variable set with a value to use in GitHub API calls.
But the very name of this environment variable specifies too much. Apersonal access token is an access token that is provisioned manually by the user (throughhttps://github.com/settings/tokens). This is tedious and a 'last resort' for authorizing apps.

A far preferable way to get an access token (which presumably works for this MCP server) is to use OAuth 2.0. For example, the Visual Studio keychain can produce such a token automatically for the user. But this isnot apersonal access token, but rather merely an access token.

The environment variable name suggests it must be a PAT, but in fact it's just an access token that's required.

Please consider adding support forGITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN as an environment variable, document that, and deprecate use of the old environment variable name.
