Prompt or Input
Starting the MCP server is not possible in high security environments where applications are whitelisted via AppLocker.
The root of the issue is that the following .exe is not code signed with any certificate.
C:\Users\testprofile\.nuget\packages\nuget.mcp.server.win-x64\1.2.3\tools/net10.0/win-x64/NuGet.Mcp.Server.exe
Expected Response
The nuget.mcp.server.exe should be code signed with a certificate and run without error after we whitelist that certificate.
Actual Response
Currently unable to whitelist this application because the certificate is missing.
