Why Context7

Version-specific: Gets docs for exact library versions
Code examples: Real, working code from actual documentation

Workflow

Resolve library ID: mcp__context7__resolve-library-id with libraryName
Get documentation: mcp__context7__get-library-docs with context7CompatibleLibraryID and topic

Modes

Mode	Use For
`code`	API references, code examples (default)
`info`	Conceptual guides, architecture, tutorials

Examples

# React hooks
resolve-library-id: "react"
get-library-docs: context7CompatibleLibraryID="/facebook/react", topic="hooks", mode="code"

# Next.js middleware
resolve-library-id: "next.js"
get-library-docs: context7CompatibleLibraryID="/vercel/next.js", topic="middleware"

# Go net/http

Try mode="info" for architectural questions
Paginate with page=2, page=3 if initial results insufficient
