Unable to read the contents of a file, but can write and edit when used in ChatGPT.

[vedtam]

Describe the bug

After configuring and successfully connecting the github-mcp-server to my ChatGPT account, I can:

• List my repositories
• List files within a repository
• Create new files
• Modify existing files

However, I cannot retrieve the contents of an existing file. Any attempt to get a file’s contents from the MCP only returns some metadata without the actual text content, though other GitHub operations work as expected:

{"text":"successfully downloaded text file (SHA: 7dab38d7c52ab273abe930b4619dc1e1dc1118c4)"}

Affected version

• latest.
