Copilot CLI v0.0.406-1: Plugin Skills & MCP Fixes

TL;DR

  • Plugins now translate to skills; MCP tools show enabled/disabled status
  • Structured content support (images, resources) in MCP responses for richer VS Code UI
  • Subscription warning added; experimental features flag now works correctly

New

  • Subscription warning — alerts users without active Copilot subscription
  • Plugin-to-skills translation — commands from plugins automatically convert to skills
  • /changelog command — view release notes directly in CLI
  • Plugin marketplace URL support — add sources via URLs instead of just local paths

Improved

  • /mcp show — now displays enabled/disabled status for each MCP tool
  • MCP structured content — responses include images and resources for richer UI rendering in VS Code

Fixed

  • --no-experimental flag — correctly disables experimental features
  • CLI rendering — removed extra blank lines in interface output

Update with: npm install -g @github/copilot-cli@0.0.406-1
