Start by reproducing the Sentry MCP configuration from mcp.json on Copilot for Xcode 0.44.0, Xcode 16.4, and macOS 15.7.1. Inspect the attached screenshot and GithubCopilot-log.zip for the startup error, then compare the behavior with the VSCode plugin. Done means the Sentry MCP server starts successfully with the documented configuration.
