描述
### Describe the bug
When adding an MCP server in Copilot CLI, the **Command to run** field incorrectly processes Windows-style paths containing backslashes (`\`). The backslashes are stripped, causing the saved command path to become invalid.
This is a common scenario when pointing Copilot CLI at a locally built MCP server executable.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Open Copilot CLI settings/config UI for **MCP Servers**
2. Add a new MCP server (or edit an existing one)
3. In **Command to run**, enter a Windows path with backslashes, e.g.:
`C:\src\external\gitrepo\mcpserver\bin\mcpserver.exe`
4. Save
### Actual behavior
The saved value strips the backslashes, e.g. it becomes:
`C:srcexternalgitrepomcpserverbinmcpserver.exe`
### Expected behavior
The saved command should preserve the Windows path exactly as entered (including backslashes), e.g.:
`C:\src\external\gitrepo\mcpserver\bin\mcpserver.exe`
### Environment
- OS: Windows
- Scenario: locally built MCP server executable path entered into “Command to run”
### Additional context / notes
This looks like an escaping/serialization issue (e.g., treating backslashes as escape characters) when persisting the MCP server config. The UI should either:
- properly escape backslashes when storing, or
- treat the field as a raw string, or
- clearly document/accept `\\` if that’s required (but ideally it shouldn’t be).
貢獻指南
研究方向
在 Windows 上使用報告中的路徑,在 MCP Servers 設定 UI 中重現此問題,然後追蹤 Command to run 值的持久化方式。當儲存並重新開啟 MCP server 後,輸入的 Windows 路徑中的每個反斜線都能保留時,即表示完成。
