Few questions here:
- when you are talking about Claude do you mean web app or Claude desktop?
- I've broken up VSC to have both github copilot vsrsion and MCP-comptabile extension

| 1. Locate the extension's MCP settings or configuration file (often `mcp.json`). | |
| - For _GitHub Copilot_: Run the **MCP: Open User Configuration** command. | |
| - For _MCP-compatible extension_: Go to the MCP Servers tab in the extension interface. | |
| 1. Add the Apify server configuration: | |

The Apify MCP Server will not require auth for documentation tools (apify/apify-mcp-server#341). This PR makes changes regarding to it - mainly improvements to the Build with AI page.
I also checked the Apify MCP Server documentation page, but I do not see a good place, where we should mention that documentation tools do not need auth (it would probably add confusion).
I plan to update mcp.apify.com page, and also will discuss whatever we will add the following option to AI Dropdown: #2079.
Note
Updates the Build with AI guide with MCP server setup for Claude, Cursor, and VS Code, and removes the unused InstallMCPButton component and styles.
