Reduces docs/src/content/docs/guides/mcps.md from 202 to 162 lines (-19.8%) while preserving all essential technical content.

What was removed

  • Redundant intro (3 paragraphs → 1): Removed restatement of the title, MCP's 4-item use-case list, and duplicated "built-in GitHub MCP" sentence
  • Verbose Important note (3 paragraphs → 1): Condensed the read-only design rationale to a single actionable sentence; also fixed typo afe outputssafe outputs
  • Duplicate HTTP example: microsoftdocs server appeared in both the "Manually Configuring" section and the "HTTP MCP Servers" section; removed the duplicate from the latter
  • mcp add code block: Replaced 5 separate commands (each with a blank line + comment above) with an inline-commented single block (saves ~9 lines)
  • Standalone "Use ["*"]..." paragraph: Integrated into the code comment in the MCP Tool Filtering section
  • Separate "External Resources" section: Merged into Related Documentation (saves heading + blank lines)
  • Verbose Shared MCP description: Condensed "are available in the GitHub Agentics Workflow repository … for common tools and services. These can be copied into your own workflows or imported directly." to one short clause

Screenshots

Screenshots could not be captured: Playwright runs with --network host (Docker host perspective) but the agent container's bridge IP (172.30.0.20) is on a separate subnet not routable from the Docker host. The curl check confirms the page returns HTTP 200.

## Adding MCP Servers from the Registry

Use `gh aw mcp add` to browse and add servers from the GitHub MCP registry (default: `https://api.mcp.github.com/v0`):

The default MCP registry URL here is documented as https://api.mcp.github.com/v0, but the CLI/codebase defaults to https://api.mcp.github.com/v0.1 (see pkg/constants/constants.go and pkg/cli/mcp_add.go). Please update the docs to match the actual default to avoid users pointing at the wrong registry endpoint.
