Start in GithubClient.java at getLatestAzureMcpRelease (line 103) and executeWithRetry (line 64), then inspect the GithubRelease type named in the exception. Reproduce the Azure MCP Server initialization on the reported IntelliJ and plugin versions, and verify that the GitHub release response is handled without an uncaught deserialization exception.
