tomevault-io Documentation Lookup
When to activate:
- User says "check the docs"
- User needs API documentation or code examples
- User mentions a library/framework name
- Source code of a library is not available locally
Two-step process:
Step 1: Find the library ID
Search for the library to get its context7 ID:
curl -s "https://context7.com/api/v2/search?query={library_name}" | jq '.results[:3]'
Example - searching for "react":
curl -s "https://context7.com/api/v2/search?query=react" | jq '.results[:3] | .[] | {id, title}'
This returns matching libraries. Use the id field (e.g., /facebook/react or /websites/react_dev).
Step 2: Fetch documentation
Use the library ID from step 1:
curl -s "https://context7.com/api/v2/docs/code{library_id}?topic={topic}&page=1"
Example - fetching React hooks docs:
curl -s "https://context7.com/api/v2/docs/code/facebook/react?topic=hooks&page=1"
Parameters:
topic- Focus area (e.g.,hooks,routing,authentication)page- Pagination (1-10), use if first page doesn't have enough info
Response: Returns markdown-formatted documentation snippets with code examples.
Fallback: If context7 doesn't have the library or returns errors, use web search.
