Github server -failed to load in Cursor and Windsurf

[WZRPW]

Hey there,
I was trying to use GitHub MCP server in Cursor and Windsurf.
Both cases failed.

"mcpServers": {
"github": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"
],
"env": {
"GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "ghp_my-token"
}
}
}

Tried to put a latest personal token and all failed.
Error log in Windsurf MCP configuration page.

Error: failed to initialize server: <truncated 50 bytes> lvedOption = FSLegacyMainResolve(pkgPath, packageConfig.main, baseStringified); ^ Error: Cannot find package '/Users/johnny/.npm/_npx/3dfbf5a9eea4a1b3/node_modules/node-fetch/src/index.js' imported from /Users/johnny/.npm/_npx/3dfbf5a9eea4a1b3/node_modules/@modelcontextprotocol/server-github/dist/index.js at legacyMainResolve (node:internal/modules/esm/resolve:204:26) at packageResolve (node:internal/modules/esm/resolve:778:12) at moduleResolve (node:internal/modules/esm/resolve:854:18) at defaultResolve (node:internal/modules/esm/resolve:984:11) at ModuleLoader.defaultResolve (node:internal/modules/esm/loader:719:12) at #cachedDefaultResolve (node:internal/modules/esm/loader:643:25) at ModuleLoader.resolve (node:internal/modules/esm/loader:626:38) at ModuleLoader.getModuleJobForImport (node:internal/modules/esm/loader:279:38) at ModuleJob._link (node:internal/modules/esm/module_job:136:49) { code: 'ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND' } Node.js v23.7.0: server terminated. Check your configuration.

Thanks for reporting this. This server has been moved to the archived repository at https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers-archived to reduce maintenance overhead, so we can focus our efforts on a smaller set of core servers.
Since this server is no longer actively maintained, we recommend checking out the alternatives listed in the Readme.
