 ### Search Tools
 
-- **`search_components`**: Search components by name, description, or category. With no params, lists all components
-- **`search_composables`**: Search composables by name or description. With no params, lists all composables
-- **`search_icons`**: Search for icons across Iconify collections (defaults to `lucide`). Returns icon names in the `i-{prefix}-{name}` format used by Nuxt UI
+- **`search-components`**: Search components by name, description, or category. With no params, lists all components
+- **`search-composables`**: Search composables by name or description. With no params, lists all composables
+- **`search-icons`**: Search for icons across Iconify collections (defaults to `lucide`). Returns icon names in the `i-{prefix}-{name}` format used by Nuxt UI
 
 ### Component Tools
 
-- **`get_component`**: Retrieves component documentation and details. Supports a `sections` parameter (`usage`, `examples`, `api`, `theme`, `changelog`) to fetch only specific parts and reduce response size
-- **`get_component_metadata`**: Retrieves detailed metadata for a component including props, slots, and events (lightweight, no documentation content)
+- **`get-component`**: Retrieves component documentation and details. Supports a `sections` parameter (`usage`, `examples`, `api`, `theme`, `changelog`) to fetch only specific parts and reduce response size
+- **`get-component-metadata`**: Retrieves detailed metadata for a component including props, slots, and events (lightweight, no documentation content)
 
 ### Documentation Tools
 
-- **`search_documentation`**: Search documentation pages by title, description, or section. With no params, lists all pages. Use `section` to filter (e.g., `"getting-started"`, `"components"`)
-- **`get_documentation_page`**: Retrieves documentation page content by URL path. Supports a `headings` parameter to fetch only specific h2 sections (e.g., `["Usage", "API"]`) and reduce response size
+- **`search-documentation`**: Search documentation pages by title, description, or section. With no params, lists all pages. Use `section` to filter (e.g., `"getting-started"`, `"components"`)

-- **`list_templates`**: Lists all available Nuxt UI templates with optional framework filtering
-- **`get_template`**: Retrieves template details and setup instructions
+- **`list-templates`**: Lists all available Nuxt UI templates with optional framework filtering
+- **`get-template`**: Retrieves template details and setup instructions
 
 ### Example Tools
 
-- **`list_examples`**: Lists all available UI examples and code demonstrations
-- **`get_example`**: Retrieves specific UI example implementation code and details
+- **`list-examples`**: Lists all available UI examples and code demonstrations
+- **`get-example`**: Retrieves specific UI example implementation code and details
 
 ### Migration Tools
 
-- **`get_migration_guide`**: Retrieves version-specific migration guides and upgrade instructions
+- **`get-migration-guide`**: Retrieves version-specific migration guides and upgrade instructions

+## Limit available tools
+
+Set the optional `X-MCP-Tools` HTTP header to a comma-separated list of tool names to expose only the tools your assistant needs. This helps to reduce the context defined in your assistant.
+
+Use the exact kebab-case MCP tool names, for example:
+
+```
+{
+  "X-MCP-Tools": "search-components,get-component"
+}
+```
+
+No header exposes all tools, an empty header exposes no tools, and an unknown tool name returns a configuration error.
