Why:

The MCP Registry validation steps mentioned in the documentation is not correct. I can see from the VS Code source code that they do more elaborate validation including name, description and version.

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

This is the part of source code in VS code where the above is validated. I spend a lot of time wandering why the server is not showing up, then figured out other parameters.
