docs: Add `go install` as a first-class installation method

Commencez par la section d’installation du README, où Docker et la compilation depuis les sources sont actuellement décrits. Ajoutez la commande go install fournie et la configuration locale du client MCP comme méthode à part entière ; le travail est considéré comme terminé lorsque les lecteurs peuvent installer le binaire sans cloner le dépôt ni utiliser Docker, et le configurer pour s’exécuter avec stdio.

Problem

The README currently documents Docker/container as the primary installation method, with "Build from source" (go build) as a fallback framed as "If you don't have Docker." There's no mention of go install, which is the standard one-liner for installing Go binaries.

Proposed change

Add go install alongside the container option as a first-class installation method:

go install github.com/github/github-mcp-server/cmd/github-mcp-server@latest

Then configure the MCP client to use the local binary:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github": {
      "command": "github-mcp-server",
      "args": ["stdio"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<YOUR_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Why

• One command, no clone needed — go install fetches, builds, and places the binary in $GOPATH/bin in one step
• Faster startup — no container overhead on each MCP server launch
• No Docker/Podman dependency — many developers have Go installed but not a container runtime
• Lower resource usage — containerized MCP servers consume memory even when idle, limiting the number of IDEs or agent terminals that can run concurrently. A native binary uses no resources when not actively handling a request.
• Safe — the binary only makes outbound HTTP calls to the GitHub API via stdio; container isolation adds no meaningful security benefit here
• Standard Go practice — go install is the idiomatic way to distribute Go CLI tools

Verified

Tested on macOS (darwin/arm64):

$ go install github.com/github/github-mcp-server/cmd/github-mcp-server@latest
go: downloading github.com/github/github-mcp-server v1.0.1
$ github-mcp-server --version
