Notes

• MCP server config in Copilot may be under a different key depending on the extension version. If github.copilot.chat.mcp.servers doesn’t work, check the extension’s release notes for the current key.
• Copilot agent mode MCP support was added in preview in early 2026; behaviour may change in minor updates.
