python extension doesn't work on server #25191

That mcpConfigurationProvider message may not be the actual cause of Pylance failing. The same message can appear even when Pylance loads correctly.

Since this happens on a server/remote environment, I would check these first:

1. Make sure both Python and Pylance are installed and enabled on the remote/server side, not only locally.
2. Update VS Code, the Python extension, and Pylance to compatible/current versions.
3. Run Developer: Reload Window.
4. Check View → Output and inspect the Python and Pylance output channels for another error that appears when the extension starts.
5. If Pylance is enabled but still does not start, try uninstalling and reinstalling Pylance on the remote host.

The mcpConfigurationProvider console message by itself is probably not enough to identify the root cause. If possible, sharing the Python/Pylance Output logs and the VS Code + extension versions would help narrow it down.
