Description

Spring ai mcp server exposes:
(GET && /mcp/sse) -> io.modelcontextprotocol.server.transport.WebMvcSseServerTransportProvider$$Lambda$1510/0x000000080127a758@2ceaf149
(POST && /mcp/message) -> io.modelcontextprotocol.server.transport.WebMvcSseServerTransportProvider$$Lambda$1512/0x000000080127a978@3469c71b

But the copilot plugin tries a POST on /mcp/sse first and then falls back to GET (without auth). It says GET is legacy but it is not.

Ultimately even with get it doesn't perform. It lists the tools if i allow all auth but it never calls the tools if for instance i say what tools are available in this chat..

Research direction

Reproduce the integration against the Spring AI MCP endpoints /mcp/sse and /mcp/message, comparing the plugin's POST-first and unauthenticated GET behavior. Check the authentication flow and tool invocation after discovery; done means Copilot can authenticate, list the tools, and call them successfully.
