Context7

Quick start

Goal: fetch current documentation and code examples for a specific library or framework instead of relying on memory.

Core workflow:

1. mcp__context7__resolve_library_id
2. mcp__context7__query_docs

When to use it

• Library or framework usage questions.
• Setup, migration, upgrade, or integration guidance.
• Version-specific API behavior.
• Need current code examples from docs.

Workflow

1. Resolve the package/product name to an exact Context7 library ID.
2. Pick the highest-quality match based on name, coverage, and source reputation.
3. Query docs with a focused technical question.
4. Re-query only if you need a different angle; avoid exceeding 3 calls per question.

Query guidance

• Include the language/framework and concrete task.
• Mention the version when the user provides one.
• Ask for the exact thing you need: auth, routing, deployment, schema, hooks, etc.

Guardrails

• Do not call query_docs before resolving the library ID unless the user already gave /org/project or /org/project/version.
• Keep to 3 Context7 calls or fewer per question.
• Prefer Context7 over generic web search for library docs.
