[auth-test] GitHub Remote MCP Authentication Test Failed

❌ Authentication Test Failed

The daily GitHub remote MCP authentication test has failed.

Error Details

MCP tools unavailable in this environment: the list_issues / get_repository tools are not exposed, so the test could not attempt MCP API calls. No authentication attempt could be performed.

Root Cause Analysis

• MCP tools not available / not loaded in the runtime environment

Expected Behavior

The GitHub remote MCP server should authenticate with the GitHub Actions token and successfully list open issues using MCP tools.

Actual Behavior

MCP toolset is not present in the environment, preventing any authentication or API calls to the MCP server (no 401/403 from server because no request was made).

Test Configuration

• Repository: githubnext/gh-aw
• Workflow: GitHub Remote MCP Authentication Test
• Run ID: 21208534920
• Run URL: https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw/actions/runs/21208534920
• Time: 2026-01-21 11:53:10 UTC

Next Steps

1. Review workflow logs at the run URL above for detailed error information
2. Ensure MCP tools are loaded into the runtime and available to the test (e.g., list_issues, get_repository)
3. Verify the MCP server configuration and that the Actions token is passed to MCP
4. Add an explicit token validation step before running MCP-dependent tests
5. Consider fallback to local mode if remote MCP is consistently unavailable
