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LLMs rely on outdated or generic information about the libraries you use.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- ❌ Code examples are outdated and based on year-old training data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.

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 setupAuthenticates 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.
