TL;DR
list of supported commands seems to have moved
For MathJax documentation, see the https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/mathjax.html. In particular, you can find a complete list of LaTeX commands supported by MathJax https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/tex.html#supported-latex-commands

Last link points to https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/tex.html#supported-latex-commands which is no more

I think it's https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/input/tex/macros/index.html nowHowever, there is far too much in there that doesn't work in the PF version, so maybe there is another link for our subset ?

Physics news on Phys.org
I think it should be
http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/
behind the first mention of "MathJax" in
LaTeX is the standard language used by mathematicians, physicists, etc. for typesetting mathematical expressions. PF uses https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/mathjax.html, a Javascript-based engine, to process LaTeX code in posts and render it in the way you would see it in a textbook.
and an additional sentence with your link
https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/input/tex/macros/index.html
should be added in order to point to the supported TeX commands. Maybe with the additional link
https://www.onemathematicalcat.org/MathJaxDocumentation/TeXSyntax.htm
found there.

Note the comment on that page "If the package name is in italics, then the package is not autoloaded by the autoload extension." Like most sites that use MathJax I believe PF only supports autoloaded packages so the list you seek is the list excluding rows with italics in the second column.
