Will it require a PAT to be managed by the user in their config as it is for the existing server? Or will you natively support something like GitHub Apps through the MCP authorization spec for users to be able to log in with a consent flow in their browser?\n\nAdditional context for my use case: I'm investigating how to offer an MCP server tied to a GHES instance with multiple Organizations, where users may have access to many of those Orgs.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/aalves-wg","@type":"Person","name":"aalves-wg"},"datePublished":"2025-06-11T17:59:46.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":8},"url":"https://github.com/503/github-mcp-server/issues/503"}
