Helper tool categories marked with (*) are not enabled by default in the MCP server and must be explicitly enabled using the `tools` argument (either the `--tools` command line argument for the stdio server or the `?tools` URL query parameter for the remote MCP server). The `tools` argument is a comma-separated list of categories with the following possible values:
161
+
162
+
-`docs`: Search and fetch Apify documentation.
163
+
-`runs`: Get Actor runs list, run details, and logs from a specific Actor run.
164
+
-`storage`: Access datasets, key-value stores, and their records.
165
+
-`preview`: Experimental tools in preview mode.

For example, to enable all tools, use `npx @apify/actors-mcp-server --tools docs,runs,storage,preview` or `https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=docs,runs,storage,preview`.
