Pull request overview
Adds new documentation describing how to run and configure the GitHub MCP Server in Streamable HTTP (HTTP server) mode, including OAuth protected resource metadata and scope-challenge behavior.
Changes:
- Added
docs/streamable-http.mdwith HTTP-mode overview, feature list, and CLI examples. - Documented OAuth protected resource discovery and scope-challenge behavior.
- Added client configuration examples (URL + optional headers).
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (1)
docs/streamable-http.md:85
- Same issue as above: this example uses
https://localhost:8082, but the built-in HTTP server does not serve TLS by default. Usehttp://(or document that a TLS-terminating reverse proxy is required).
