As seen, in the screenshot MCP servers remain in connecting state and do not ever connect. If I downgrade to the 1.0.2 or 1.0.3 versions then they connect perfectly.
New installation of MCP servers also do not connect. Tried a fresh install but the issue persists. LLMs also do not recognize any MCP servers.

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the issue in GitHub Copilot app v1.0.6 through Settings → MCP servers, then compare behavior with v1.0.2 or v1.0.3; the issue is done when newly installed MCP servers connect and are recognized by the LLMs.
