 ## Read-Only Mode

 To run the server in read-only mode, you can use the `--read-only` flag. This will only offer read-only tools, preventing any modifications to repositories, issues, pull requests, etc.

 ```bash
 ./github-mcp-server --read-only
 ```

 When using Docker, you can pass the read-only mode as an environment variable:

 ```bash
 docker run -i --rm \
  -e GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=<your-token> \
  -e GITHUB_READ_ONLY=1 \
  ghcr.io/github/github-mcp-server
 ```
