Descrição
### Describe the bug
Since updating to 1.0.51 the built-in github-mcp-server fails to connect on Windows with "fetch failed". This was not present in any previous version. Logs confirm no github-mcp-server connection attempts existed before 1.0.51.
### Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.51.
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Run copilot on Windows with version 1.0.51
2. Observe "Failed to connect to MCP server 'github-mcp-server'" on startup
3. Run /mcp show github-mcp-server
4. Observe:
MCP Server: github-mcp-server
Type: http
URL: https://api.business.githubcopilot.com/mcp/readonly
Status: ✗ Failed
Error: fetch failed
Tools: Server failed to connect
Log shows:
2026-05-21T15:42:09.074Z [ERROR] Starting remote MCP client for github-mcp-server with url: https://api.business.githubcopilot.com/mcp/readonly
2026-05-21T15:42:09.456Z [ERROR] MCP transport for github-mcp-server closed
2026-05-21T15:42:09.457Z [ERROR] Failed to start MCP client for remote server github-mcp-server: TypeError: fetch failed
### Expected behavior
github-mcp-server connects successfully
### Additional context
- curl to https://api.business.githubcopilot.com/mcp/readonly returns 401 (expected, endpoint reachable)
- node fetch to same endpoint returns 401 (expected, Node.js networking works)
- node --use-system-ca fetch returns 401 (expected, no SSL inspection issue)
- Fresh login via `copilot login` performed, credential confirmed in Windows Credential Manager
- No corporate proxy environment variables set
- Previous logs (1.0.40, May 12-20) show no github-mcp-server connection attempts at all
- Issue began when 1.0.51 binary was installed
Windows (win32-x64)
Node.js v24.14.0
Potential regression for #2282 ?
Guia de contribuição
Direção de pesquisa
Reproduzir no Windows com Copilot CLI 1.0.51 e, em seguida, inspecionar a inicialização de github-mcp-server e a conexão MCP remota informada por `/mcp show github-mcp-server`. Comparar o comportamento e os logs com a versão 1.0.40, usando como controles as verificações documentadas com curl e Node.js fetch. Considera-se concluído quando o servidor se conecta com sucesso e `/mcp show` relata as ferramentas disponíveis em vez de `fetch failed`.
