+# Install GitHub MCP Server in OpenAI Codex
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. OpenAI Codex (MCP-enabled) installed / available
+2. A [GitHub Personal Access Token](https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens/new)
+
+<details>
+<summary><b>Storing Your PAT Securely</b></summary>
+<br>
+
+For security, avoid hardcoding your token. One common approach:
+
+1. Store your token in `.env` file
+```
+GITHUB_PAT_TOKEN=ghp_your_token_here
+```
+
+2. Add to .gitignore
+```bash
+echo -e ".env" >> .gitignore
+```
+</details>
+
+> The remote GitHub MCP server is hosted by GitHub at `https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/` and supports Streamable HTTP.
+
+## Remote Configuration
+
+Edit `~/.codex/config.toml` (shared by CLI and IDE extension) and add:
+
+```toml
+[mcp_servers.github]
+url = "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/"
+# Replace with your real PAT (least-privilege scopes). Do NOT commit this.
+bearer_token_env_var = "GITHUB_PAT_TOKEN"
+```
+
+## Local Docker Configuration
+
+Use this if you prefer a local, self-hosted instance instead of the remote HTTP server, please refer to the [OpenAI documentation for configuration](https://developers.openai.com/codex/mcp).
+
+## Verification
+
+After starting Codex (CLI or IDE):
+1. Run `/mcp` in the TUI or use the IDE MCP panel; confirm `github` shows tools.
+2. Ask: "List my GitHub repositories".
+3. If tools are missing:
+   - Check token validity & scopes.
+   - Confirm correct table name: `[mcp_servers.github]`.
+
+## Usage
+
+After setup, Codex can interact with GitHub directly. It will use the default tool set automatically but can be [configured](../../README.md#default-toolset). Try these example prompts:
+
+**Repository Operations:**
+- "List my GitHub repositories"
+- "Show me recent issues in [owner/repo]"
+- "Create a new issue in [owner/repo] titled 'Bug: fix login'"
+
+**Pull Requests:**
+- "List open pull requests in [owner/repo]"
+- "Show me the diff for PR #123"
+- "Add a comment to PR #123: 'LGTM, approved'"
+
+**Actions & Workflows:**
+- "Show me recent workflow runs in [owner/repo]"
+- "Trigger the 'deploy' workflow in [owner/repo]"
+
+**Gists:**
+- "Create a gist with this code snippet"
+- "List my gists"
+
+> **Tip**: Use `/mcp` in the Codex UI to see all available GitHub tools and their descriptions.
+
+## Choosing Scopes for Your PAT
+
+Minimal useful scopes (adjust as needed):
+- `repo` (general repository operations)
+- `workflow` (if you want Actions workflow access)
+- `read:org` (if accessing org-level resources)
+- `project` (for classic project boards)
+- `gist` (if using gist tools)
+
+Use the principle of least privilege: add scopes only when a tool request fails due to permission.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Issue | Possible Cause | Fix |
+|-------|----------------|-----|
+| Authentication failed | Missing/incorrect PAT scope | Regenerate PAT; ensure `repo` scope present |
+| 401 Unauthorized (remote) | Token expired/revoked | Create new PAT; update `bearer_token` |
+| Server not listed | Wrong table name or syntax error | Use `[mcp_servers.github]`; validate TOML |
+| Tools missing / zero tools | Insufficient PAT scopes | Add needed scopes (workflow, gist, etc.) |
+| Token in file risks leakage | Committed accidentally | Rotate token; add file to `.gitignore` |
+
+## Security Best Practices
+1. Never commit tokens into version control
+2. Prefer environment variables or secret managers
+3. Rotate tokens periodically
+4. Restrict scopes up front; expand only when required
+5. Remove unused PATs from your GitHub account
