`repo:read` is not a valid GitHub token scope; users following this guide cannot generate the necessary token. Please update the recommendation to a supported scope.</violation>

The manual setup snippet still references `github_mcp`, but the executable was renamed to `github-mcp`. Update the argument so the sample configuration runs correctly.</violation>
