Context7 MCP
Use Context7 MCP to fetch current documentation whenever the user asks about a library, framework, SDK, API, CLI tool, or cloud service — even well-known ones like React, Next.js, Prisma, Express, Tailwind, Django, or Spring Boot. This includes API syntax, configuration, version migration, library-specific debugging, setup instructions, and CLI tool usage. Use even when you think you know the answer — your training data may not reflect recent changes. Prefer this over web search for library docs.
Do not use for: refactoring, writing scripts from scratch, debugging business logic, code review, or general programming concepts.
Steps
resolve-library-idwith the library name and what to look up in the library's documentation. Use the official library name with proper punctuation (e.g., "Next.js" not "nextjs", "Customer.io" not "customerio", "Three.js" not "threejs")- Pick the best match by: exact name match, description relevance, code snippet count, source reputation (High/Medium preferred), and benchmark score (higher is better). Use version-specific IDs when the user mentions a version
query-docswith the selected library ID and what to look up in the library's documentation (not single words), scoped to a single concept. If the question spans multiple distinct concepts (e.g. routing and auth and caching), make a separatequery-docscall per concept with the same library ID, unless the question is about how the concepts interact — combined queries dilute ranking and return shallow results for each topic- Answer using the fetched docs
