What's Wrong?

git push via local proxy returns 403
All mcp__github__ write tools (create_branch, push_files, create_or_update_file) also return 403
Read operations work fine
Completed GitHub device auth flow ("Congratulations, you're all set!") but it didn't resolve the issue
The GitHub App integration lacks Contents write permission and there's no clear UI to grant it

What Should Happen?

claude should update GitHub
