Same issue here, with any MCP server.
It's very annoying, because there's no output in the VSCode Developer tools console, nor in the Continue console.

Is this still reproducible on the latest version of Continue?

[Conobi]

Is this still reproducible on the latest version of Continue?

@tomasz-stefaniak on 1.0.23 version of Continue for VS Code, I can still reproduce yes:

[CRASH-Tech]

Any progress?

[CRASH-Tech]

Lol. I was fix it by pass full path to docker bin(pass env var PATH not helps)

mcpServers:
  - name: MCP_DOCKER
    command: /usr/local/bin/docker
    args:
      - mcp
      - gateway
      - run
