| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---------|-------|----------|
| Missing expected tools | Token lacks required scope | Add the scope to your PAT |
| Missing expected tools | Token lacks required scope | [Edit your PAT's scopes](https://github.com/settings/tokens) in GitHub settings |
| All tools visible despite limited PAT | Scope detection failed | Check logs for warnings about scope fetching |
| "Insufficient permissions" errors | Tool visible but scope insufficient | This shouldn't happen with scope filtering; report as bug |
> **Tip:** You can adjust the scopes of an existing classic PAT at any time via [GitHub's token settings](https://github.com/settings/tokens). After updating scopes, restart the MCP server to pick up the changes.
