Can't fetch available MCPs from custom registery #4949
Description
Describe the bug
Our company configured an MCP registry URL for Github Copilot. It works well with Github Copilot in VSCode, but in the CLI we see an error mentioning that the CLI can't reach the registry. I confirmed that the URL in the error is accessible. I even tried to ask the Copilot CLI to fetch it & it was able to tell me which MCP servers are there.
The error I'm getting when running /mcp is:
Failed to load online results: Error: HTTP request failed: error sending request for url (https://*********.azure-apicenter.ms/workspaces/default/v0.1/servers?limit=30)
Affected version

We experienced the same, #4851 is a duplicate of this.

The 1.0.89 update fixed this for us.

Thanks for the report. We've shipped fixes in this area since this was filed, and we believe this may now be resolved. Could you retest on the latest release (Copilot CLI v1.0.103) and let us know whether you still see it? If we don't hear back in a couple of weeks, we may close this issue — you can always reopen it.
Triaged as part of a Copilot SDK backlog review, with help from GitHub Copilot.
