+4. (Optional) For higher rate limits (5,000 req/hr instead of 60), add a GitHub Personal Access Token:
+   - Go to [github.com → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Fine-grained tokens](https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens/new)
+   - Set a descriptive name (e.g. `github-mcp`) and expiration
+   - Under **Repository access**, select **"Public Repositories (read-only)"**
+   - No additional permissions needed — the default read-only access to public repos is sufficient

 Works out of the box without a PAT — unauthenticated requests use the server's default GitHub token.
