I am new to n8n workflows and appreciate your support in an issue that I am facing
Describe the problem/error/question
I am using the n8n free trial on their cloud platform and my usecase is to build an AI agent which uses Githubs REMOTE MCP server i.e the mcp server hosted by GIthub as described here
I am using the MCP client option from n8n.io and my understanding is that we can use this to connect to ANY MCP server and not just the MCP server trigger one n8n
However I am unable to successfully estbalish a connection to the Github server Remote MCP server located on the url https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp
I have tested the github remote mcp server standalone using a local MCP client and it works fine. So the issue is not with the personal access token or the remote server. For some reason n8n MCP client is unable to connect to this github MCP server. I cannot see any specific logs which shows the reason for the error.
I have attached screenshots of my simple work flow and errors for reference
What is the error message (if any)?
The test execute step in the MCP Client always fail with error.
Please share your workflow
