You get:\n\n- ❌ Code examples are outdated and based on year-old training data\n- ❌ Hallucinated APIs that don't even exist\n- ❌ Generic answers for old package versions\n\n## ✅ With Context7\n\nContext7 pulls up-to-date, version-specific documentation and code examples straight from the source — and places them directly into your prompt.\n\n```txt\nCreate a Next.js middleware that checks for a valid JWT in cookies\nand redirects unauthenticated users to `/login`. use context7\n```\n\n```txt\nConfigure a Cloudflare Worker script to cache\nJSON API responses for five minutes. use context7\n```\n\n```txt\nShow me the Supabase auth API for email/password sign-up.\n```\n\nContext7 fetches up-to-date code examples and documentation right into your LLM's context. No tab-switching, no hallucinated APIs that don't exist, no outdated code generation.\n\nWorks in two modes:\n\n- **CLI + Skills** — installs a skill that guides your agent to fetch docs using `ctx7` CLI commands (no MCP required)\n- **MCP** — registers a Context7 MCP server so your agent can call documentation tools natively\n\n## Installation\n\n> [!NOTE]\n> **API Key Recommended**: Get a free API key at [context7.com/dashboard](https://context7.com/dashboard) for higher rate limits.\n\nSet up Context7 for your coding agents with a single command:\n\n```bash\nnpx ctx7 setup\n```\n\nAuthenticates via OAuth, generates an API key, and installs the appropriate skill. You can choose between CLI + Skills or MCP mode. Use `--cursor`, `--claude`, or `--opencode` to target a specific agent.\n\nTo remove the generated setup later, run `npx ctx7 remove`. If you globally installed the CLI with `npm install -g ctx7`, remove that package separately with `npm uninstall -g ctx7`.\n\nTo configure manually, use the Context7 server URL `https://mcp.context7.com/mcp` with your MCP client and pass your API key via the `CONTEXT7_API_KEY` header. See the link below for client-specific setup instructions.\n\n**[Manual Installation / Other Clients →](https://context7.com/docs/resources/all-clients)**\n\n## Important Tips\n\n### Use Library Id\n\nIf you already know exactly which library you want to use, add its Context7 ID to your prompt. That way, Context7 can skip the library-matching step and directly retrieve docs.\n\n```txt\nImplement basic authentication with Supabase. use library /supabase/supabase for API and docs.\n```\n\nThe slash syntax tells Context7 exactly which library to load docs for.\n\n### Specify a Version\n\nTo get documentation for a specific library version, just mention the version in your prompt:\n\n```txt\nHow do I set up Next.js 14 middleware? use context7\n```\n\nContext7 will automatically match the appropriate version.\n\n### Add a Rule\n\nIf you installed via `ctx7 setup`, a skill is configured automatically that triggers Context7 for library-related questions. To set up a rule manually instead, add one to your coding agent:\n\n- **Cursor**: `Cursor Settings > Rules`\n- **Claude Code**: `CLAUDE.md`\n- Or the equivalent in your coding agent\n\n**Example rule:**\n\n```txt\nAlways use Context7 when I need library/API documentation, code generation, setup or configuration steps without me having to explicitly ask.\n```\n\n## Available Tools\n\n### CLI Commands\n\n- `ctx7 library <name> <query>`: Searches the Context7 index by library name and returns matching libraries with their IDs.\n- `ctx7 docs <libraryId> <query>`: Retrieves documentation for a library using a Context7-compatible library ID (e.g., `/mongodb/docs`, `/vercel/next.js`).\n\n### MCP Tools\n\n- `resolve-library-id`: Resolves a general library name into a Context7-compatible library ID.\n  - `query` (required): The user's question or task (used to rank results by relevance)\n  - `libraryName` (required): The name of the library to search for\n- `query-docs`: Retrieves documentation for a library using a Context7-compatible library ID.\n  - `libraryId` (required): Exact Context7-compatible library ID (e.g., `/mongodb/docs`, `/vercel/next.js`)\n  - `query` (required): The question or task to get relevant documentation for\n\n## More Documentation\n\n- [CLI Reference](https://context7.com/docs/clients/cli) - Full CLI documentation\n- [MCP Clients](https://context7.com/docs/resources/all-clients) - Manual MCP installation for 30+ clients\n- [Adding Libraries](https://context7.com/docs/adding-libraries) - Submit your library to Context7\n- [Troubleshooting](https://context7.com/docs/resources/troubleshooting) - Common issues and solutions\n- [API Reference](https://context7.com/docs/api-guide) - REST API documentation\n- [Developer Guide](https://context7.com/docs/resources/developer) - Run Context7 MCP locally\n\n## Disclaimer\n\n1- Context7 projects are community-contributed and while we strive to maintain high quality, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or security of all library documentation.
