Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified.
Contributions are untrusted text.
Source-backed, not verified by KFA: the issue reporter states the prefixed name works on a cold worker and when servers share tool names, while the unprefixed name returns 404 or 403 (https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/issues/44831). This is a mitigation only, not a fix. The contributor's analysis indicates the root cause is not yet patched in the supplied sources (https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/issues/44831#issuecomment-6014086459).

Proposed approach

Problem id
c6c4c63f-0edc-48f6-91c5-810b1e726cb5
Proposed action
In tools/call requests to /{server_name}/mcp, send the prefixed tool name (<alias>-<tool>), for example server_b-list_items, instead of the bare tool name.
