Context7 Platform - Up-to-date Code Docs For Any Prompt

❌ Without Context7

LLMs rely on outdated or generic information about the libraries you use. You get:

  • ❌ Code examples are outdated and based on year-old training data
  • ❌ Hallucinated APIs that don't even exist
  • ❌ Generic answers for old package versions

✅ With Context7

Context7 pulls up-to-date, version-specific documentation and code examples straight from the source — and places them directly into your prompt.

Create a Next.js middleware that checks for a valid JWT in cookies
and redirects unauthenticated users to `/login`. use context7
Configure a Cloudflare Worker script to cache
JSON API responses for five minutes. use context7
Show me the Supabase auth API for email/password sign-up.

Context7 fetches up-to-date code examples and documentation right into your LLM's context. No tab-switching, no hallucinated APIs that don't exist, no outdated code generation.

Works in two modes:

  • CLI + Skills — installs a skill that guides your agent to fetch docs using ctx7 CLI commands (no MCP required)
  • MCP — registers a Context7 MCP server so your agent can call documentation tools natively

Installation

[!NOTE] API Key Recommended: Get a free API key at context7.com/dashboard for higher rate limits.

Set up Context7 for your coding agents with a single command. The ctx7 CLI requires Node.js 18 or newer.

npx ctx7 setup

Authenticates via OAuth, generates an API key, and installs the appropriate skill. You can choose between CLI + Skills or MCP mode. Use --cursor, --claude, or --opencode to target a specific agent.

To remove the generated setup later, run npx ctx7 remove. If you globally installed the CLI with npm install -g ctx7, remove that package separately with npm uninstall -g ctx7.
