Unable to add MCP to tools config

MCP tools require a 
name
 field, however when add 
name
 to the MCP tool, the vapi server side validation fails:

  {
    type: 'mcp',
    name: 'Calendly',
    description: 'When scheduling bookings use this tool',
    server: {
      url: 'https://mcp.zapier.com/api/mcp/s/.....'
    }
  }
]
Error: Status code: 400
Body: {
  "message": [
    "model.each value in tools.property name should not exist"
  ],
  "error": "Bad Request",
  "statusCode": 400
}


We're using openai as the model and follow the documentation.

https://docs.vapi.ai/tools/mcp

Not adding 
name
 to the tool config fails as well, then we get error name is required for mcp tool...
