Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Update installation guide for GitHub MCP Server (#699)

* Update installation guide for GitHub MCP Server

Removed reference to GitHub.com in the installation guide. The GitHub server is available to Coding Agent by default, without installation needed.

* Rename section to 'Install in Other MCP Hosts'

Updating title for consistency and adding a link to the "other Copilot IDEs" install guide.

* Revise installation guide for Cursor MCP setup

Updated installation guide for Cursor with steps clarified, remote server installation, and one-click install deeplinks to open Cursor and add the github server to the config file.

 ## Remote Server Setup (Recommended)
 
-The remote GitHub MCP server is hosted by GitHub at `https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/` and supports Streamable HTTP protocol. Cursor currently supports remote servers with PAT authentication.

+Uses GitHub's hosted server at https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/. Requires Cursor v0.48.0+ for Streamable HTTP support. While Cursor supports OAuth for some MCP servers, the GitHub server currently requires a Personal Access Token.

-## Installation Steps
-
-### Via Cursor Settings UI
-1. Open Cursor
-2. Navigate to **Settings** → **Tools & Integrations** → **MCP**
-3. Click **"+ Add new global MCP server"**
-4. This opens `~/.cursor/mcp.json` in the editor
-5. Add your chosen configuration from above
-6. Save the file
-7. Restart Cursor
-
-### Manual Configuration
-1. Create or edit the configuration file:
-   - **Global (all projects)**: `~/.cursor/mcp.json`
-   - **Project-specific**: `.cursor/mcp.json` in project root
-2. Add your chosen configuration
-3. Save the file
-4. Restart Cursor completely
-
-### Token Security
-- Create PATs with minimum required scopes:
-  - `repo` - For repository operations
-  - `read:packages` - For Docker image pull (local setup)
-  - Additional scopes based on tools you need
-- Use separate PATs for different projects
-- Regularly rotate tokens
-- Never commit configuration files to version control
-
-## Configuration Details
-
-- **File paths**: 
-  - Global: `~/.cursor/mcp.json`
-  - Project: `.cursor/mcp.json`
-- **Scope**: Both global and project-specific configurations supported
-- **Format**: Must be valid JSON (use a linter to verify)
