This command line as is doesn't work for me. I get Invalid parameter format: GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN. Use key=value format.

If I create a PAT and use

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector docker run -i --rm -e GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxx ghcr.io/github/github-mcp-server

The Inspector launches, but I don't see what port to use. And in my Docker desktop I see an image, but it's not running. If I try to run it, I see no ports are exposed.

I think we need a little more detail on this.
