GitHub MCP Server

I want to install and try GitHub MCP Server on my own computer.

Official repository: https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server

Before you do anything:
1. Read the README and install notes in the official repository above, and nothing else. Do not follow third-party tutorials or mirrors.
2. Tell me in plain words what will be installed, what it needs (operating system, memory, graphics card, disk space, accounts) and what it will cost me, if anything.
3. Check my computer against those needs and tell me honestly if it will not work well.

This is an MCP server that gives my AI agent extra abilities. Before you install it, read what it can access and tell me which permissions or tokens it needs. Install it with the method in the README and keep any token in my own configuration, never in the chat.

Rules:
- Show me each command before you run it, and say what it does.
- Ask before anything that deletes files, changes system settings, opens a network port or needs an administrator password.
- Never put my passwords or keys on a command line, or in a file I did not choose.
- When it is installed, help me check it with one small test, and tell me how to start and stop it.
- If something goes wrong, explain it in plain words and do not guess your way around it.

Good to know before you start: What it can do depends on the access token you give it. Use a token with the fewest permissions that does the job, and be careful with write access.
