Setting Environment Variable for npx Command in Windows

Bug Reports
1

I’m currently trying to run a command in PowerShell that requires setting an environment variable. Specifically, I need to set a GitHub personal access token for the command cmd /c npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-github.

$env:GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN = "<YOUR_TOKEN>"; cmd /c npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-github

Is this currently not possible on Windows? Command without the access token is able to start the MCP server but none of the tools work since they require authentication.
