Overview

What is Context7 MCP Server?

Context7 MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that bridges MCP-compatible clients (like Claude Desktop, IDE plugins, custom applications) with the Context7 API. It enables querying documentation context, searching for projects, and retrieving project metadata—all data comes directly from the official Context7 API.

How to use Context7 MCP Server?

Install globally via npm (npm install -g c7-mcp-server) or from source. The server is launched by an MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) via the c7-mcp-server command using stdio transport. Add an entry to the client’s configuration file under mcpServers with the command c7-mcp-server and no arguments.
