What's changed

This PR updates three Learning Hub pages to reflect recent Copilot CLI changes from v1.0.25–1.0.32 (April 13–17, 2026).


🔴 Outdated information fixed

understanding-mcp-servers.md

  • Removed .vscode/mcp.json and devcontainer.json as valid CLI MCP config sources — these were removed in v1.0.22. The CLI now only reads .mcp.json.
  • Added a migration hint note explaining that a hint is shown when .vscode/mcp.json is detected without .mcp.json.
  • Fixed the Q&A section which incorrectly referenced .vscode/mcp.json.
  • Fixed the Best Practices section to reference only .mcp.json.

✨ New features documented

understanding-mcp-servers.md

  • New MCP registry install section: copilot mcp install with guided configuration (v1.0.21/v1.0.25)
  • New remote MCP server note: the type field can be omitted and defaults to http (v1.0.29)

copilot-configuration-basics.md

  • auto model selection: let Copilot automatically pick the best model (v1.0.32)
  • /ask command: ask a quick question without affecting conversation history (v1.0.27)
  • /env command: show loaded environment details — instructions, skills, MCP servers, agents, plugins (v1.0.25)
  • /statusline command: customise status bar items (v1.0.30)
  • Document file attachments: attach documents to prompts for agent reasoning (v1.0.32)
  • Short session ID prefixes: --resume accepts 7+ hex chars instead of the full ID (v1.0.32)
  • --connect flag: connect directly to a remote session by ID (v1.0.28/v1.0.32)
  • --print-debug-info flag: display version, terminal capabilities, and environment info (v1.0.32)
  • --session-idle-timeout flag: configurable session idle timeout, disabled by default (v1.0.32)

installing-and-using-plugins.md

  • copilot plugin marketplace update command to refresh plugin catalogs (v1.0.27)
