MCP JSON format incompatible with CCA

[doggy8088]

In CCA (GitHub Copilot coding agent), the MCP config format is like:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright-test": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "playwright",
        "run-test-mcp-server"
      ],
      "tools": [
        "*"
      ]
    }
  }
}

In Copilot CLI, the MCP config format is like:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright-test": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "playwright",
        "run-test-mcp-server"
      ],
      "tools": [
        "*"
      ]
    }
  }
}

The type is incompatible. Is it possible Copilot CLI sync with CCA and GitHub Copilot Chat in VS Code?

@belaltaher8 Can you share the solution you devised for this issue? Are you use "type": "stdio" for Copilot CLI now?

I confirmed. It works in Copilot CLI 0.0.370-5. 👍
