GitHub MCP connector app is missing Administration permission, blocking repo creation
The GitHub App behind the official GitHub MCP connector ("Claude Github MCP Connector", installed via github.com/settings/installations) does not request the Administration repository permission.
Effect: create_repository (and any other admin-scoped call) fails, even though the app otherwise has read/write access to code, issues, PRs, and discussions. The app's settings page (github.com/settings/installations/<id>) only exposes repository access scope (all vs. select repos) and install/uninstall — there is no way for the installing user to add a missing permission scope themselves. That scope has to be added to the app's own manifest by Anthropic, then re-authorized by users.
Workaround: create the repo manually via the GitHub web UI once, then the connector can push/read/manage it fine afterward.
Requesting: add Administration (read/write) to the GitHub App manifest so the connector can create repositories directly.
