Discussions toolset not working local or remote #659
Description
Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
When I run:
docker run -i --rm -e GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=<redacted> -e GITHUB_TOOLSETS="discussions" ghcr.io/github/github-mcp-serverI get:
failed to create MCP server: failed to enable toolsets: toolset discussions does not exist
Works fine with other toolsets I've tried.
Discussions also appear to be not working on the remote server --
VS Code config:
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"gh-discussions": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/x/discussions/readonly"
},
}Output on startup:
