Share MCP configuration with VSCode #225

Description

@petrroll

Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

I have MCP servers recognized by VSCode. I shouldn't need to re-add them to Github Copilot CLI.

Proposed solution

Eventually and on windows, both (and full VS for that matter) should use the windows-wide MCP registry. Until that happens and for other platforms, they should try to share / look into each others configs to recognize MCP servers and somehow merge.

If I configure servers in VSCode (where its copilot sees it) they should be usable from VS (not what this ticket is about, I know) and Copilot CLI (what this ticket is about).

Ideally, this config recognition & merge should work across WSL boundary.

Example prompts or workflows

N/A

Additional context

Windows, not WSL.
