How to use MCP tools or built-in tools in a remote Copilot session from client

从 Python create_session 调用以及 issue 中显示的远程 CLI 配置开始。比较 agent="agent1" 和 available_tools 如何与服务器端的 mcp-config.json 和 .github/agents/agent1.agent.md 交互。完成的标准是远程会话暴露所请求的内置工具和 jira_confluence_tools，或清楚地记录受支持的配置和限制。

I have a Copilot process running on a remote Linux sever started with the following command line

 node /usr/local/bin/copilot --headless --host 0.0.0.0 --port 30007 --add-dir /opt/copilot-agents --log-dir /mnt/copilot/logs/30007 --log-level debug --allow-all-tools --disable-builtin-mcps

I see the copilot process is running and listen on the port 30007 correctly. I have set up a MCP tool under the folder [home of user running the above copilot process]/.copilot/mcp-config.json, I launched the copilot cli on the server as the same user and checked the MCP tool works correctly

    "jira_confluence_tools": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": "npx",
      "tools": [
        "*"
      ],
      "args": [ "mcp-remote",  "http://127.0.0.1:38000/mcp"
      ]
    }

also I created a python script on client side (a Windows machine), it creates a Copilot session to the remote server, here I want to use the above mcp tool jira_confluence_tools defined on the server in the remote session from the client, how can I make it?

I tried with the below code, but it doesn't work, I started the session and sent a message to Copilot server for triggering the MCP tool, but it returned that The `jira_confluence_tools` MCP server is **not connected or not registered** in this agent's session. This session appears to be running with a **very limited tool set** — only the two meta-tools (`skill` and `report_intent`) are present. Neither shell execution nor MCP integrations (Jira, Confluence) are connected.

can someone share how to add the MCP tool on remote server to the session? the agent claimed only have access to 2 tools, how can I use the built-in tools like create, edit, view, bash and so on in the remote session?

also I tried to set the parameter agent to None when calling the method client.create_session(), then the session gets access to all tools in sub_agent_tools, but I must specify an agent for my real use case

        client = CopilotClient(ExternalServerConfig(url=base_url))
        await client.start()
        sub_agent_tools=["report_intent", "jira_confluence_tools-getJiraIssue", "create", "view", "edit", "bash"]
        session = await asyncio.wait_for(
            client.create_session(
                on_permission_request=PermissionHandler.approve_all,
                session_id=SESSION_ID,
                agent="agent1",  ### I have the agent agent1 defined under the folder /opt/copilot-agents/.github/agents/agent1.agent.md
                streaming=True,
                working_directory="/opt/copilot-agents",
                system_message=SystemMessageReplaceConfig(mode="replace", content="you have access to all bash commands"),
                available_tools=sub_agent_tools,   ### I claims the available built-in tools here, but it doesn't work
            ),
            timeout=TIMEOUT,
        )
