MCP servers silently fail to load in VS Code Continue with Dockerized Ollama
Developers configuring an MCP server alongside the Continue VS Code extension running Ollama in Docker on WSL2 see no MCP tools in chat and no surfaced spawn errors. Diagnosing whether the failure is in stdio spawn, container networking, or extension wiring is opaque.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyNo macOS Devcontainer Support for GPU Passthrough in VS Code
Developers using macOS cannot run local AI models with GPU acceleration inside VS Code devcontainers because Docker on Mac lacks GPU passthrough. Windows has CUDA forwarding but no equivalent exists for Apple Silicon, forcing developers to choose between isolation and performance.
Storybook Lacks MCP Server Support for AI Agents
No standardized way for AI agents to interact with Storybook via Model Context Protocol. Growing demand as AI dev tools adopt MCP standard.
Claude Desktop Has No In-Session Way to Reconnect Crashed MCP Servers
When an MCP server dies or hangs inside Claude Desktop, users have no way to reconnect it without quitting the entire app — which destroys all open sessions. The CLI has a /mcp slash command for per-server reconnect, but it is not exposed in the Desktop interface. Auto-reconnect for stdio MCP servers is also broken, leaving users with no graceful recovery path.
Custom Endpoint Model Selectors Require Manual Typing Instead of Auto-Discovery
When configuring custom LiteLLM or other endpoints, users must manually type model names rather than having them auto-fetched from the endpoint, with no ability to switch models while actively working.
Local LLM Studio Proxy Drops Tool Call Schemas Before Model Inference
Developers running LLM inference through local studio proxies find that tool definitions passed in the API request are silently dropped before reaching the underlying model server. The model then has no awareness of available tools and defaults to plain text output instead of structured tool calls. This breaks OpenAI-compatible clients that depend on function calling to drive agent behavior.
