What needs to change
Update the Claude Desktop integration guide (sources/platform/integrations/ai/claude/claude-desktop.md). Claude Desktop's connector setup has changed since the page was last substantively updated on 2026-04-28, so the documented steps may no longer match the app.
- Verify all three documented connection paths against the current app: the remote-server custom connector (
https://mcp.apify.com), the connector-directory install, and registration via the .mcpb file.
- Replace or remove any steps, links, or screenshots that no longer match the current configuration flow.
- Re-check the troubleshooting section against current behavior.
- Mirror the outcome in the Claude Desktop tab of the Apify MCP server page, which carries an abbreviated copy of the same instructions.
The installation instructions served on mcp.apify.com are a separate surface and are tracked with the MCP server, not here.
Why
Reported by the AI team: users following the current guide can hit stale setup steps, which turns a first-run integration attempt into a debugging session.

Internal tracking: apify/ai-team#250.
Related: #2607 (same class of drift for the ChatGPT MCP client — worth doing in one pass). Note #2850 rewrites mcp.md; merge it before editing the tab there.
