Research direction
Start in GithubClient.java at getLatestAzureMcpRelease around line 103, then trace executeWithRetry around line 64 and the GithubRelease response type. Inspect the reported deserialization failure and identify the response shape the client receives. Done means the Azure MCP Server initializes without this uncaught exception and the relevant behavior is covered by an appropriate test.
