Pass GitHub MCP Tools

[maartenvandiemen]

In a recent change of the GitHub MCP Server some tools are not enabled anymore by default. You need to explicitly define them: https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server?tab=readme-ov-file#tool-configuration.

With this change I introduced an extra optional parameter in which you can pass the tools that the caller want the have enabled.

In issue #138 this is the issue, since the tools for GH Actions aren't enabled by default anymore.

Pull Request Overview

This PR adds support for configuring GitHub MCP toolsets by introducing a new github-mcp-toolsets input parameter. This allows users to specify which toolsets (e.g., repos, issues, pull_requests, actions, code_security) should be enabled when connecting to the GitHub MCP server, providing more granular control over available tools.

Key changes:

• Added github-mcp-toolsets input parameter to action.yml with detailed description
• Modified connectToGitHubMCP function to accept optional toolsets parameter and include it in the X-MCP-Toolsets header when specified
• Updated README documentation with usage examples and reference to available toolsets
• Added comprehensive test coverage for the new functionality
