⚠ Read this prompt before pasting — your agent will do what it says.
Set up GitHub's official MCP server for this agent. First read the README at https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server to get the current remote server URL and configuration shape. Then add it to my MCP configuration, walk me through creating a fine-grained GitHub personal access token with only the scopes I approve, and store the token in my MCP config only — never in any file tracked by git. Finish by listing my open PRs to prove the connection works.
