Let's try testing GitHub using MCP tools. Start simple by listing repository issues.

Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```typescript
import "dotenv/config";
import { Sandbox } from "e2b";

async function testGitHub() {
  console.log("Creating sandbox...\n");

  const sbx = await Sandbox.betaCreate({
    envs: {
      ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!,
      GITHUB_TOKEN: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN!,
    },
    mcp: {
      githubOfficial: {
        githubPersonalAccessToken: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN!,
      },
    },
  });

  const mcpUrl = sbx.betaGetMcpUrl();
  const mcpToken = await sbx.betaGetMcpToken();

  await new Promise((resolve) =&gt; setTimeout(resolve, 1000));

  await sbx.commands.run(
    `claude mcp add --transport http e2b-mcp-gateway ${mcpUrl} --header "Authorization: Bearer ${mcpToken}"`,
    { timeoutMs: 0, onStdout: console.log, onStderr: console.log },
  );

  const repoPath = `${process.env.GITHUB_OWNER}/${process.env.GITHUB_REPO}`;

  console.log(`\nListing issues in ${repoPath}...\n`
```

    mcp_url = sbx.beta_get_mcp_url()
    mcp_token = await sbx.beta_get_mcp_token()

    await asyncio.sleep(1)

    await sbx.commands.run(

        timeout=0,
        on_stdout=print,
        on_stderr=print,
    )

    repo_path = f"{os.getenv('GITHUB_OWNER')}/{os.getenv('GITHUB_RE
```

```bash

```

You should see Claude use the GitHub MCP tools to list your repository's issues …
