Unable to authenticate with Remote Github MCP server

[PrasanthV454]

I added the below config to my mcpServers in my Cursor MCP config

"github-remote": {
      "url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/",
      "authorization_token": "Bearer ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
}

But unable to connect to the server. I have attached the MCP logs.

#514 (comment) should help

[pahadiprogrammer]

@tonytrg tried the info in comment u tagged above to setup the github mcp server with cline but still see the same error mentioned below. My server conf in cline is:

"github-mcp-server": {
      "disabled": false,
      "timeout": 60,
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <PAT>"
      }
    }

But can see the below image in cline mcp servers configured.

I have deleted and then added the conf. again but to no avail.

hey @tonytrg, have tried #514 (comment), but nothing seems to help. Can we please re-open the ticket as I see lot of other IDEs are facing something similar

@pahadiprogrammer @cinxmo @PrasanthV454 sorry for the confusion, here is an update.

We do not support SSE, as streamable HTTP is the new standard. We will need to wait on Cline to implement it.
