Description

I've installed the azure intellij plugin on a macbook pro with 32GB ram and use it mainly to connect ot keyvaults. Lately my intellij is becoming unresponsive, when checking memory usage I see azuremcp using enormous amounts of memory. I am not consciously using this and killing it makes the problem go away temporarily. Is there some kind of memoryleak in this, what does it do and can i disable it?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached azmcp.txt and the reported Azure IntelliJ plugin behavior on macOS. Reproduce the memory and swap growth, then trace what azuremcp does when the plugin connects to Key Vaults. Done means the memory issue is explained and a verified mitigation or disablement path is documented.
