Not sure how things are with Copilot, but with Claude Code a good alternative for MCP is in some cases old fashioned command line tools.

GitHub has gh, there's open source jira-cli, Cloudflare has wrangler and so on. No configuration needed, just mention on the agent doc that this kind of tool is available. Likely it will figure out the rest.

And if you have more complicated needs, then you can combine the commands, add some jq magic, put to package.json and tell agent to use npm run to execute it. Can be faster than doing it via multiple MCP calls.
