Copilot CLI 1.0.29: MCP Config & Claude Opus 4.7
Copilot CLI 1.0.29 adds Claude Opus 4.7, simplifies MCP config with optional type fields, and includes a new --list-env flag for CI debugging.
TL;DR
- MCP server config now defaults type field to http — less boilerplate
- Claude Opus 4.7 support added
- New --list-env flag for debugging CI pipeline configuration
- Windows crash recovery and git remote parsing fixes
New
- Claude Opus 4.7 support — Use the latest Claude model in Copilot CLI workflows
- --list-env flag — Log loaded plugins, agents, skills, and MCP servers in prompt mode to verify environment setup in CI pipelines
- COPILOT_AGENT_SESSION_ID environment variable — Shell commands and MCP servers now receive session tracking for better observability
- MCP server type field optional — Remote MCP server config defaults to http when type is omitted, reducing configuration overhead
Fixed
- Blinking cursor width stability — Cursor blink no longer causes text shift during animation
- Repository owner detection — Agent now correctly identifies repo owner from git remote URL instead of local username
- Windows terminal state recovery — Terminal state properly restored after crash exit on Windows
