MCP ADO Tools Not Available to GitHub Copilot Agent #1200

@armaansood

Description

@armaansood

Describe the bug

The ADO MCP server is configured and shows 80 available tools when the user runs mcp show ado, including tools like:

- repo_create_pull_request
- advsec_get_alerts
- core_list_projects
- etc

Affected version

0.0.399

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  • Configure an MCP server (e.g., ADO) in the Copilot CLI environment
    • Verify the server is enabled: mcp show ado shows tools available
    • Ask the Copilot agent to perform an action that requires an MCP tool (e.g., "create a pull request")
    • Observe that the agent does not have access to the MCP tool

Expected behavior

MCP tools from enabled servers should be exposed to the Copilot agent as callable functions, allowing the agent to directly invoke tools like repo_create_pull_request to create pull requests in Azure
