MCP allowlist enforcement currently has the following limitations:

* Enforcement is based only on server name/ID matching, which can be bypassed by editing configuration files
* Enforcement is based only on server name/ID, description and version matching, which can be bypassed by editing configuration files
* Strict enforcement that prevents installation of non-registry servers is not yet available

For the highest level of security, you can **disable MCP servers in {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}** until strict enforcement is available.
