Run the GitHub MCP agent and tools in a Meshagent Room in the cloud.

1. Required Environment Variables

GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN: Your GitHub personal access token for API authentication.

2. Steps

Install Meshagent (including plugins and tool support):
```
pip install "meshagent[all]"
```
Sign up and authenticate with Meshagent CLI
- Follow the CLI Getting Started Guide.

Start the GitHub MCP Server as a Meshagent Room service:

meshagent service test \
  --room=test \
  --role=agent \
  --image=meshagent/mcp-github-mcp-server:latest \
  --env MESHAGENT_PORT=8001 \
  --env GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=<YOUR_TOKEN> \
  --port="num=8001 path=/webhook liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable" \
  --name=mcp-github-mcp-server-service

This command creates a Meshagent Room called test, runs the GitHub MCP server inside it, and exposes the toolkit to the room.
Rooms will automatically close if inactive.

Join the Room with a Chatbot that can use the toolkit:
```
meshagent chatbot join \
  --room=test \
  --agent-name=sample \
  --name=sample \
  --toolkit=mcp-github-mcp-server
```
- This starts a chatbot (sample) in the room with access to all GitHub MCP server tools.
- Multiple toolkits and agents can be used in the same room.
- A link to open and use the room will be provided in the output.
