説明

### Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve

github-mcp-server http requires a per-request Authorization header and never reads GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN from the environment - token extraction happens only in pkg/http/middleware/token.go (ExtractUserToken), and httpCmd's ServerConfig has no token field (cmd/github-mcp-server/main.go). The env var is consulted only by the stdio command.

That fits the multi-tenant/centralized use case http mode was built for (#471, #997). But it leaves a gap for single-tenant self-hosted deployments: an org running one server instance with one service credential, fronted by a gateway/tunnel that cannot inject custom headers (in our case, Anthropic's MCP tunnels; the same applies to any transport that forwards requests as-is). The server starts cleanly with the env var set, then 401s every request - a confusing failure, since the README's env-var examples don't mention they're stdio-only.

### Proposed solution

In http mode, when no Authorization header is present on a request, fall back to a statically configured token (GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN / GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN), opt-in via a flag, e.g.:

github-mcp-server http --static-auth # or --token-from-env

Per-request tokens would still take precedence, preserving the multi-tenant behavior. Notably, the 2026-01-28 GitHub changelog announcing HTTP mode described exactly this fallback ("falls back GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN if no header is provided"), but the shipped behavior doesn't include it.

調査の方向性

Start with pkg/http/middleware/token.go and cmd/github-mcp-server/main.go, then compare how the stdio command reads GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN and GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN. Done means an explicit HTTP-mode opt-in can use the configured environment token when Authorization is absent, while per-request tokens still take precedence and requests without either remain unauthorized.
