Remove GitHub from the recommended MCP servers list and add guidance about MCP token consumption.

The GitHub MCP has high default token usage that can quickly exhaust your context window. AI tools like Claude Code and Cursor already have excellent gh CLI integration built-in, which is faster, more reliable, and doesn't consume context tokens.

Changes:

  • Remove GitHub from the MCP servers table
  • Add "Watch Your Token Usage" section with guidance on monitoring MCP token consumption via /context
  • Add a note explaining why to use the CLI instead of GitHub MCP
  • Update tip text to mention Linear instead of GitHub
  • Update Sentry MCP docs link to mcp.sentry.dev

usage that can quickly exhaust context, and AI tools already have

Also update Sentry MCP docs link to mcp.sentry.dev.
