Go to: https://github.com/settings/tokens/new 2. Give it a name like "GHCR Push Token" 3. Select scopes: [x] write:packages [x] read:packages [x] delete:packages (optional) 4. Click "Generate token" 5. COPY THE TOKEN NOW (you won't see it again!) Step 2: Login to GHCR --------------------- Option A - Interactive (paste token when prompted): docker login ghcr.io -u ${github_username} Option B - Using environment variable: export CR_PAT=your_token_here echo $CR_PAT | docker login ghcr.io -u ${github_username} --password-stdin Step 3: Verify Login -------------------- docker pull ghcr.io/github/super-linter:latest (If this works, you're logged in!) FOR CI/CD (GitHub Actions): --------------------------- Use the built-in GITHUB_TOKEN: - name: Login to GHCR uses: docker/login-action@v3 with: registry: ghcr.io username: \${{ github.actor }} password: \${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}` }] }; } ); - src/index.js:456-502 (registration)MCP server.tool() call that registers the 'ghcr_login_guide' tool with name, description, schema, and handler.
