Describe the bug

> get trace_id: a6b34275-fe52-4cba-ae49-99b914ce0d8e using MCP coaiapy_aetherial

 ● Running the MCP search for that trace id across configured services to locate any record
   matching the provided trace_id. I'll query the MCP-backed search API for the trace id now.

 ✔ Search issues
   └ {"total_count":1,"incomplete_results":false,"items":[{"id":3683798278,"number...

 ● I don't have direct access to the MCP named "coaiapy_aetherial" from this environment —
   please provide its API endpoint/credentials or instructions for how to call it.
   Using the configured MCPs here, the trace_id appears in GitHub issue jgwill/CeSaReT#674; say
   if you want the full issue text or another specific system searched.

• It can not use the adequate MCP

/mcp show

● MCP Server Configuration:

   • github_jgwill (local): Command: npx
   • coaiapy_aetherial (local): Command: /home/jgi/.local/bin/uvx

   Total servers: 2
   Config file: /home/jgi/.copilot/mcp-config.json

Affected version

0.0.365

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. install a MCP in mcp-config.json

My config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github_jgwill": {
            "type": "local",
      "command": "npx",
      "tools": [],
      "args": [
              "-y",
              "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "...."
      }
    },
    "coaiapy_aetherial": {
     "type": "local",
      "command": "/home/jgi/.local/bin/uvx",
      "args": [ "--from", "coaiapy-mcp", "coaiapy-mcp" ],
      "tools": [],
      "env": {
              "COAIAPY_ENV_PATH":"/src/.env.aetherial"
        }
    }
  }
}

Expected behavior

• this configuration works great on other LLMs such as claude-code, gemini-cli
• It should know which tools to use in which MCP by simple usage of natural language.

Additional context

● Configured MCP servers: github_jgwill, coaiapy_aetherial

● MCP Server Configuration:

• github_jgwill (local): Command: npx
• coaiapy_aetherial (local): Command: /home/jgi/.local/bin/uvx

Total servers: 2
Config file: /home/jgi/.copilot/mcp-config.json

● Connected to GitHub MCP Server

      "env": { 
	      "COAIAPY_ENV_PATH":"/src/.env.aetherial"
        }
    }
  }
}

Hello, I'm trying to ascertain the issue here which seems to be with your local coaiapy_aetherial server - without seeing the source for this, it is difficult to determine what the problem is.
