How many years has Paul mcgann been on doctor who?
He only starred on doctor who once for a one off film in 1996, but as his wikipedia page states:"McGann had signed a contract to appear as the Eighth Doctor in a new Doctor Who series, if Fox or Universal exercised their option. Thus, the television movie was supposed to be a "back door pilot" in that, if it obtained respectable ratings, the new series would continue to be produced. The movie aired on 14 May 1996 in the US and on 27 May 1996 in the UK. Although it earned 9.08 million viewers and was very successful in the UK, ratings were very low in the United States. As a consequence, Fox did not exercise its option to pick up the series and Universal could not find another network who was interested in airing a new Doctor Whoseries. Thus no new series was produced until 2005, after all the contractual rights had returned to the BBC, and the movie became McGann's only televised appearance as the Eighth Doctor.Although McGann played the Doctor on television only once, he gave permission for his likeness to be used on the covers of the BBC's Eighth Doctor novels and he has reprised the role of the Eighth Doctor in an extensive series of audio plays by Big Finish Productions."

Why did Paul McGann only play the Doctor for one episode?
He played the Doctor for the 1996 movie not an episode, that was his only major appearance because the show was cancelled. The American film makers couldn't get Doctor Who to be as popular as the other characters were, mainly because the British were in uproar about a classic British character being re-shaped for American TV. Russell T Davis, who is British, tried again in 2005. Instantly, Doctor Who was popular again in not just the UK, but in the USA too. In 2013, Paul was re-hired by the British Doctor Who production team for a mini-episode called The Night of the Doctor, where the audience learnt that he regenerated into what we call "The War Doctor".
