Context7 Documentation

MCP service at https://mcp.context7.com/mcp (http) with 2 tools.

Requirements

  • mh CLI must be installed. If not available, install with:
    curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vaayne/mcphub/main/scripts/install.sh | sh
    

Usage

List tools: mh -u https://mcp.context7.com/mcp -t http list Get tool details: mh -u https://mcp.context7.com/mcp -t http inspect <tool-name> Invoke tool: mh -u https://mcp.context7.com/mcp -t http invoke <tool-name> '{"param": "value"}'

Notes

  • Run inspect before invoking unfamiliar tools to get full parameter schema
  • Timeout: 30s default, use --timeout <seconds> to adjust
  • Important: Always call resolveLibraryId first to get the Context7-compatible library ID before calling queryDocs, unless user provides ID in /​org/​project format

Tools

ToolDescription
queryDocsRetrieves and queries up-to-date documentation and code examples from Context7 for any programming library or framework. Requires a Context7-compatible library ID obtained from resolveLibraryId.
resolveLibraryIdResolves a package/​product name to a Context7-compatible library ID. Must be called before queryDocs to get a valid library ID.

Workflow

  1. Resolve library ID: First, resolve the library name to a Context7 ID

    mh -u https://mcp.context7.com/mcp -t http invoke resolveLibraryId '{"libraryName": "react"}'
    
  2. Query documentation: Use the resolved ID to fetch docs

    mh -u https://mcp.context7.com/mcp -t http invoke queryDocs '{"context7CompatibleLibraryID": "/​facebook/​react", "topic": "hooks"}'
