+# GitHub MCP Server Authentication
+
+This extension supports two authentication methods:
+
+## OAuth (Recommended)
+
+No configuration required. When you first use the extension without a personal access token, GitHub MCP Server will guide you through the OAuth authentication flow in your browser.
+
+## Personal Access Token
+
+If you prefer to use a personal access token:
+
+1. Go to your account's [Developer Settings](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?description=zed-mcp-server-github&scopes=repo)
+2. Create a Personal Access Token with `repo` scope
+3. Add it to your extension settings:
+
+```json
+{
+  "github_personal_access_token": "your_token_here"
