Description

When trying to authenticate mcp-publisher via mcp-publisher login github, the authentication flow does not make it clear what the mcp-publisher app will do when "acting on my behalf". See image below.

In addition, when going to the app's page at https://github.com/apps/mcp-registry-login-prod no information is provided because it is a private app.
