## Troubleshooting: MCP Server Installation

The extension auto-installs [Microsoft.AITools.BinlogMcp](https://dev.azure.com/dnceng/public/_artifacts/feed/dotnet-tools/NuGet/Microsoft.AITools.BinlogMcp) via `dotnet tool install -g`. In corporate environments with restricted NuGet feeds, this may fail. Here are the workarounds:
The extension auto-installs [Microsoft.AITools.BinlogMcp](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AITools.BinlogMcp) via `dotnet tool install -g`. In corporate environments with restricted NuGet feeds, this may fail. Here are the workarounds:

### 1. Install with explicit feed source
### 1. Install manually

```bash
dotnet tool install -g Microsoft.AITools.BinlogMcp --prerelease --add-source https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/dnceng/public/_packaging/dotnet-tools/nuget/v3/index.json
dotnet tool install -g Microsoft.AITools.BinlogMcp
```

### 2. Diagnose NuGet issues

Common problems:
- **dotnet-tools feed not configured** — the tool is published on the dotnet-tools Azure DevOps feed
- **nuget.org not configured** — the tool is published on nuget.org, the default NuGet feed
- **Authenticated feed requires credentials** — may block access to the feed
- **Package source mapping** excludes the dotnet-tools feed for this package
- **Package source mapping** excludes nuget.org for this package

### 3. Verify installation
