Start the Docker container with `docker-compose up -d`. Verify with `docker ps | grep github-mcp-server-multiuser`.

2

How do I provide my GitHub token and Anthropic API key?

Add `GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token` and `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant_your_key` to a `.env` file in the project root. The client will also prompt for a token if not set in the environment.

5

What if I get a JSON serialization error?

The latest version includes robust handling of MCP content types to prevent serialization errors. Ensure you have the latest code.
