curl: (56) The requested URL returned error: 403

I’m getting this error, how do I make it work?

[triage-bot] REPRODUCED:

Root cause: install-mcp.sh line 63 fetches GitHub API without authentication. Unauthenticated requests limited to 60/hour → 403 when rate limit exceeded.

Observed:

curl: (56) The requested URL returned error: 403
Error: Failed to fetch releases from https://github.com/dmtrKovalenko/fff/releases

Expected: Script should use GITHUB_TOKEN env var if available, falling back to unauthenticated.

Minimal repro:

# Exhaust rate limit
for i in {1..61}; do curl -fsSL https://api.github.com/repos/dmtrKovalenko/fff/releases >/dev/null; done
# Now run installer
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmtrKovalenko/fff.nvim/main/install-mcp.sh | bash

Working on fix.

Fix ready

Branch pushed to triage-bot/issue-486 with fix for rate limiting.

Changes:

1. install-mcp.sh: Modified get_latest_release_tag() to use GITHUB_TOKEN env var when available
2. README.md: Added note about rate limiting workaround

Root cause: GitHub API rate limits unauthenticated requests to 60/hour. Script now checks for GITHUB_TOKEN and adds Authorization header if present → 5000 requests/hour.

Workaround for users now:

export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token_here  # Get from https://github.com/settings/tokens
curl -L https://dmtrkovalenko.dev/install-fff-mcp.sh | bash

@dmtrKovalenko Can you:
