From cb93ee68178a29de01cd82d5f168b77ba34401f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: MQ37 Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 12:18:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] docs: Remove add-actor mentions from MCP integration docs add-actor is no longer selectable for new MCP connections (apify/apify-mcp-server#1127, call-actor is substituted instead). Removes its table row and the now-inaccurate 'dynamic tool discovery' note describing the add-actor swap; replaces with a short description of the current call-actor-based discover-and-call flow. --- sources/platform/integrations/ai/mcp.md | 18 +++--------------- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/sources/platform/integrations/ai/mcp.md b/sources/platform/integrations/ai/mcp.md index 9682c254ce..24fee64af6 100644 --- a/sources/platform/integrations/ai/mcp.md +++ b/sources/platform/integrations/ai/mcp.md @@ -342,29 +342,17 @@ If the `tools` parameter includes any other tool, or you connect to the default | `get-key-value-store-record` | storage | | Get the value associated with a specific key in a key-value store | | `get-dataset-list` | storage | | List all available datasets for the user | | `get-key-value-store-list` | storage | | List all available key-value stores for the user | -| `add-actor`* | experimental | ❔ | Add an Actor as a new tool for the user to call | | `get-actor-output`* | - | ✅ | Retrieve the output from an Actor call which is not included in the output preview of the Actor tool. | :::note Retrieving full output -The `get-actor-output` tool is automatically included with any Actor-related tool, such as `call-actor`, `add-actor`, or specific Actor tools like `apify-slash-rag-web-browser`.
