src/github moved out of modelcontextprotocol/servers into servers-archived; the old tree URL 404s. The npx package still runs but is deprecated on npm — point readers at github/github-mcp-server.

What the recipe said
mcp-server/README.mdlinks the GitHub MCP server it proxies at:What upstream did
The reference GitHub server was moved out of
modelcontextprotocol/serversintomodelcontextprotocol/servers-archived, so that tree URL now 404s:The npm package the recipe actually runs —
spicepod.yamlsetsmcp_args: -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-github— is correspondingly marked deprecated:What changed
github/github-mcp-serveris GitHub's supported replacement.Deliberately left the
spicepod.yamlalone.npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-githubstill resolves and runs — deprecated is not removed — so the recipe is not broken today, and migrating is not a like-for-like swap:github/github-mcp-serverships as a Go binary / Docker image rather than an npx package, sofrom: mcp:npxwithmcp_argswould need rethinking along with thegithub/*tool names in Steps 4–6. That is a maintainer call about the recipe's direction, not a mechanical accuracy fix — flagging it here rather than making it.Verified against current stable Spice
v2.1.1. Link checks are live; the recipe itself was not executed (needs a GitHub PAT).
