Is it possible to use GitHub MCP for public repositories without authentication? #1201

I am not sure that I want to give AI access to my GitHub account... However I would like to allow it to read information from public repositories hosted on GitHub. Is it possible to enable only that and nothing more? (Possibly without authentication as an additional layer of security) |

You can generate a PAT token that has no scopes, or a fine grained token without specific repository access and it should work. Let me know if you have problems. |
