Support Help

Hi guys,

I need some help to configure the official Github MCP Server in Cursor on my Windows machine.
Here is my setup that doesn’t work!:

"github": {
  "command": "C:\\Program Files\\Go\\bin\\go.exe",
  "args": [
    "run",
    "github.com/github/github-mcp-server/cmd/github-mcp-server@latest",
    "stdio",
    "--dynamic-toolsets"
  ],
  "env": {
    "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "xxxxx",
    "HOME": "%USERPROFILE%"
  }
}

How did you set up yours?
Thanks in advance for your help

I wasn’t able to use the official Github MCP in Go, so I choose the one from Anthropic located in their mcp github repo: servers/src/github at main · modelcontextprotocol/servers instead.

Hi Phil,

I used Github MCP to do the configuration personnally, I find it much easier. Here is how it looks like in my mcp.json file:

"github": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
  "env": {
    "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "XXXXXXXXXXX"
  }
},
