Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve

A clear and concise description of what the feature or problem is.

• The doc should provide a minimum list of permissions for the GitHub Access Token.
• The current documentation at https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server/blob/v1.7.0/docs/installation-guides/README.md mentions this,

All installations with Personal Access Tokens (PAT) require: GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT): Create one here

Regardless of which installation method you choose, follow these security guidelines:

Limit Token Scope: Only grant necessary permissions to your GitHub PAT

• However, the list of permissions for personal access token (classic) is too long. I think the documentation needs to provide a minimum list of required permissions. See https://github.com/settings/tokens/new .
• 
• Furthermore, the URL provided in the documentation is for creating the personal access token (classic). I think the documentation should guide users to use the fine-grained personal access token, which only allows access to repositories within a specific scope, while the personal access token (classic) allows access to all unrelated repositories.

Proposed solution

How will it benefit GitHub MCP Server and its users?

• This would obviously reduce the cognitive load.

Example prompts or workflows (for tools/toolsets only)

If it's a new tool or improvement, share 3–5 example prompts or workflows it would enable. Just enough detail to show the value. Clear, valuable use cases are more likely to get approved.
