The tools table listed 11 of the 29 tools the server registers, and the MCP tab rendered no sidebar. Tools: the hosted server pins @vapi-ai/mcp-server 0.1.0 and registers all of its tools, so hosted and local expose the same 29. The 18 that were missing are update_assistant, create_tool, update_tool, get_api_schema, search_skills, load_skill and the 12 simulation tools. Descriptions come from the tools' own registered descriptions. Grouped the table by area, since one flat 29-row table is hard to scan, and dropped the invented "Example usage" column. Sidebar: #1396 moved tools/mcp.mdx out of the MCP tab into the Documentation tab, leaving the tab with a single page. Fern renders no sidebar for a tab with one entry, so #fern-sidebar was display:none on this page while every other tab was display:flex. Adding a link back to MCP tools restores the sidebar and the cross-link #1396 removed. Verified against a local fern docs dev server. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Stacked on #1410, below #1411. Two fixes to the MCP server page.
The tools table was missing 18 of 29 tools
The hosted server pins
@vapi-ai/mcp-serverat0.1.0and callsregisterAllTools, so the hosted and local servers expose the same 29 tools. The page listed 11.Added:
update_assistant,create_tool,update_tool,get_api_schema,search_skills,load_skill, and the 12 simulation tools (list_simulation_personalitiesthroughget_simulation_run_item). Descriptions are taken from each tool's own registered description rather than invented.I grouped the table by area — documentation and reference, assistants, calls, phone numbers, Vapi tools, simulations — because one flat 29-row table is hard to scan, and dropped the "Example usage" column, which was invented filler that gets worse at 29 rows. Flagging that as an editorial call rather than a pure addition.
Two safety notes added, matching the existing
create_callone:run_simulationsplaces real calls, andload_skillreturns instructions without installing anything or running scripts.get_connection_infois deliberately not here. It is registered by the hosted server itself, not the package, and only exists in the OAuth build — so it belongs to #1411, where it already is.The MCP tab rendered no sidebar
#fern-sidebarwasdisplay: noneon/sdk/mcp-server, while every other tab rendereddisplay: flex.Cause: #1396 ("Updated the MCP tools pages") moved
tools/mcp.mdxout of the MCP tab into the Documentation tab as a section. That left the MCP tab with exactly one entry, and Fern renders no sidebar for a tab with one entry. For comparison, the SDKs tab has 1 page and 11 links and renders fine — it is the entry count, not the page count.So this is a regression from #1396, not from the recent MCP page work, and it is live on
maintoday.Fix: add a link back to MCP tools in the MCP tab, which restores both the sidebar and the cross-link #1396 removed.
