Month 2025-10 — Pulumi docs: Delivered a reliability improvement for the Pulumi MCP server startup by explicitly configuring stdio in the server arguments (mcp.servers.pulumi.args) via settings.json. This targeted fix prevents startup failures caused by insufficient arguments, enhancing local development and CI consistency. The change was implemented in VS Code settings (commit: 47de24dce400857600166f937391602fb7d485f8, message: Modify MCP server args in VS Code settings (#15892)).
