When signed in to an enterprise account, tool calls using `github-mcp-server` uses the enterprise URL and fails for external lookups, but doenst look like it falls back to standard github url and just uses a standard web fetch instead of the MCP server

Research direction

Reproduce the shown docs/auth/index.md lookup while signed in to an enterprise account, using github-mcp-server. Trace how the enterprise URL is selected and how external repository lookups fall back to the standard GitHub path. Done means the lookup no longer fails at the enterprise URL and uses the intended MCP or standard fetch behavior.
