Description

Describe the bug
The GitHub MCP Registry is not supported in version 1.106 of VS Code. After update any installed MCP servers will fail to start and no further servers can be installed.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install or update VS Code to 1.106.0
  2. Configure Copilot Policies to use MCP registry URL https://github.com/mcp and restriction to Registry Only
  3. Confirm that settings sync has completed and that @id:chat.mcp.access is showing as registry
  4. Attempt to install the Atlassian MCP server. The install will be blocked by policy.
    Expected behavior
    As the Atlassian MCP server is a valid listing in the registry, it should allow the install or running of the MCP server when the mcp access policy is set to registry

Research direction

Reproduce with VS Code 1.106.0, the GitHub MCP Registry URL, and the Registry Only policy, then trace the MCP registry and policy handling involved in server installation. Done means the Atlassian MCP server can be installed or started when the policy allows registry entries.
