Context7 MCP
Context7 MCP server provides API access to library-related information by resolving library IDs and retrieving their documentation. Developers and integrators use it to programmatically manage and access detailed library metadata and docs for software development and integration tasks.
Overview
Context7 MCP is an MCP server designed to facilitate interaction with library identification and documentation services. It exposes two primary tools that enable precise lookup and retrieval of library metadata and documentation through API calls.
Key Capabilities
resolve-library-id: Accepts a library identifier or reference and returns the corresponding resolved unique library ID, enabling consistent identification across systems.get-library-docs: Retrieves comprehensive documentation associated with a specific library ID, allowing developers to access detailed reference material programmatically.
Use Cases
- A developer integrating multiple third-party libraries can use
resolve-library-idto unify library references across different repositories. - Automation scripts can call
get-library-docsto fetch the latest official documentation for libraries used in a project, ensuring up-to-date references. - Build systems can validate library dependencies by resolving IDs and verifying associated docs before deployment.
- Documentation tools can aggregate library information dynamically by querying these APIs.
Who This Is For
This server is targeted at software developers, system integrators, and DevOps engineers who require programmatic access to library metadata and official documentation. It supports scenarios where automated resolution and retrieval of library information are critical, such as dependency management, continuous integration, and developer tooling.
