Describe the bug
I wrote an MCP server (written using github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk ) and configured it for Copilot CLI this way :
{
"mcpServers": {
"vosdroits": {
"type": "local",
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"ghcr.io/guigui42/mcp-vosdroits:latest"
],
"tools": [
"*"
]
}
}
}When I ask copilot "je dois acheter une maison, que dois je faire ?" that should trigger the "list_life_events" tool from the MCP, but I get this error
Execution failed: Unexpected end of JSON input
