Do I use web_search tool providing github-mcp-server?

[misumisumi]

According to copilot-cli/issues/57, copilot-cli seems to provide the web_search tool through the github-mcp-server.
Currently, I have a Copilot Pro subscription via the student discount and have enabled Web Search under settings/copilot/features. However, the web_search tool does not appear in copilot-cli when running /mcp show, nor is it listed in the available tools. I have tried logging out and logging back in on both the GitHub CLI and Copilot CLI, but the situation remains unchanged. Is the web_search tool currently being provided?
Also, I belong to several organizations and am a collaborator in one of them—could this status be affecting its availability?
Authentication is tied to an individual.

My guess is this is less about org membership and more about how the tool is surfaced in the specific client path. A feature can be enabled at the account level and still not appear if copilot-cli is only exposing the subset that the connected MCP server or current rollout supports.nnIt would help if someone from the team clarified whether web_search is expected to appear in /mcp show at all, or whether it is injected through a different capability path. Right now the confusing part is not just missing access, it is that the discovery surface gives no clue whether the feature is unsupported, gated, or temporarily unavailable.

@misumisumi you are correct that the settings here should do it: https://github.com/settings/copilot/features

It is possible for orgs to limit this too I believe, I am asking for clarification.

Thank you for your replys.
First, Copilot Pro was not provided by an organization; I am paying for it personally. Therefore, I think that it is not subject to any organizational policies.
Next, the features are configured as shown in the image.

Finally, the following are the results of running copilot-cli with only the built-in features enabled (model: gpt-5.1-codex-mini):

• copilot

• copilot --add-github-mcp-toolset web_search

Even if I am using a personal subscription, could my membership in these organizations be the reason why certain features (like web search) are not appearing in the
CLI?
