[H1][CONTEXT7-TOOLS]

Dictum: Three commands mirror MCP capabilities plus unified convenience.

Query Context7 library documentation. Matches MCP tool structure (resolve-library-id, query-docs).

[IMPORTANT] Context7 pulls up-to-date, version-specific documentation from source. Supports private documents (early access). Community-driven library coverage.

[1][COMMANDS]

[CMD]	[ARGS]	[RETURNS]
resolve	`<library> [query]`	Top 5 matching IDs with scores
docs	`<library-id> <query>`	Documentation filtered by query
lookup	`<library> <query>`	Resolve + docs in one call

[2][USAGE]

# Resolve library -> see options
uv run .claude/skills/context7-tools/scripts/context7.py resolve effect

# Resolve with query filter
uv run .claude/skills/context7-tools/scripts/context7.py resolve react "server components"

# Fetch docs for specific ID
uv run .claude/skills/context7-tools/scripts/context7.py docs /effect-ts/effect "Services"

# Unified: resolve + docs
uv run .claude/skills/context7-tools/scripts/context7.py lookup react "hooks"

# Unified: with version-specific query
uv run .claude/skills/context7-tools/scripts/context7.py lookup vite "v7 migration guide"

[3][ARGUMENTS]

resolve: <library> [query]

library — Library name to search (required, e.g., effect, react, vite)
query — Optional query to narrow results

docs: <library-id> <query>

library-id — Context7 library ID (required, e.g., /effect-ts/effect)
query — Documentation topic to retrieve (required)

lookup: <library> <query>

library — Library name (required)
query — Topic to fetch docs for (required)

[4][SELECTION_LOGIC]

lookup auto-selects library by: VIP status -> highest benchmark score.

Use resolve first when disambiguation needed (e.g., multiple React packages).

[5][OUTPUT]

Commands return JSON or plain text.

[INDEX]	[CMD]	[RESPONSE]
[1]	`resolve`	JSON array: `[{id, title, score, vip}]`
[2]	`docs`	Plain text documentation prefixed with `[library-id]`
[3]	`lookup`	Plain text documentation (same as docs)

[6][ENVIRONMENT]

[VAR]	[REQUIRED]	[DESCRIPTION]
`CONTEXT7_API_KEY`	No	Optional bearer token for auth

[7][ERROR_HANDLING]

HTTP errors print [ERROR] <status>: <body> and exit 1
Connection errors print [ERROR] <message> and exit 1
No library found: [ERROR] No library found for '<query>' and exit 1
