You can also add it via the Codex CLI:

```cli
codex mcp add github --url https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/
codex mcp add github --url https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/ --bearer-token-env-var GITHUB_PAT_TOKEN
```

Using `codex mcp add ... --url ...` without `--bearer-token-env-var` only stores the remote server URL. For the hosted GitHub MCP server, you also need to bind a PAT environment variable so Codex can send the `Authorization` header.
