feat: Tell Claude users to add their own server as a custom connector - #1595

Sessions that cannot run arbitrary Actors ended their caveat with "set up your own Apify MCP server at https://mcp.apify.com". It now reads "create your own Apify MCP server configuration at https://mcp.apify.com and add it to your MCP client", or "... add it to Claude as a custom connector" when the connector URL carries ?client=claude. getOwnServerRemedy() picks the wording. The existing clientParam option is threaded to tool descriptions (tools/list), server instructions, and tool calls (sync, task, and direct Actor tools) so all five caveat sites agree. Sessions with a run tool render unchanged text. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01ChBz93feLbm26jESmnDTtM
Also note in the clientParam docs that it now picks tool wording. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01ChBz93feLbm26jESmnDTtM
…g test Each site takes its wording from getOwnServerRemedy(), so one test of the helper covers the text. Also drops doc and formatting churn on pass-through params. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01ChBz93feLbm26jESmnDTtM

Checks the legacy and stateless paths render the Claude wording in the search-actors description and the instructions when clientParam is 'claude'. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_011QiQRhqm3wKyv6KFLncAqG

Threads clientParam through task mode, the direct Actor tool dispatch and the executor's tip caveat; each step could be dropped with all tests green. Also says in three comments that clientParam now picks wording. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_011QiQRhqm3wKyv6KFLncAqG
…ions Tool results use the neutral "add it to your agent" sentence; only tools/list descriptions and the instructions switch on ?client=claude. Drops the clientParam plumbing through tool dispatch, InternalToolArgs and ActorExecutionParams. Adds isClaudeClient so the literal lives once.

Why
Closes #1599. Follow-up to #1533. Jan asked in #1533 (comment) to make the remedy explicit: create a new configuration and add it to your agent. Agreed:
?client=claude, which is how the Claude directory connector URL ends.What changed
… To use another Actor, set up your own Apify MCP server at https://mcp.apify.com.… create your own Apify MCP server configuration at https://mcp.apify.com and add it to your agent.?client=claude:… and add it to Claude as a custom connector.This variant appears only in tool descriptions and the instructions. Tool results keep the neutral sentence on every client: the client knows who it is, and this keeps?client=out of tool dispatch and tool args.Proof it works

AI-assisted (Claude Code): code, tests, mcpc probes and this description. A separate Claude Code review pass found no bugs; its test and comment additions are in the last commit.
