Is a Copilot License required to use the remote MCP Server? #660
Description
Describe the bug
I get this error when I use a PAT from Claude Code:
[DEBUG] MCP server "github": Error stack: Error: Error POSTing to endpoint (HTTP 403): unauthorized: not licensed to use Copilot
Affected version
GitHub Remote MCP Server
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Connect using a PAT from an account without a Copilot License.
- See this error.
Expected vs actual behavior
This is not documented in github-mcp-server readme and I would expect it to be. If usage is gated by a Copilot license, that is quite unfortunate.
Logs
See above.
