In this repository, we provide an MCP Server for Context7, which offers access to high-quality documentation for popular libraries.

This lets you use Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, or any MCP Client, to use natural language to search and access documentation for libraries, e.g.:

• "What are the main features of React hooks?"
• "How do I implement authentication with Next.js?"
• "Rate limiting with Redis"
• "Get examples of using React Query"

• Node.js >= v18.0.0
• Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop or another MCP Client

Add this command to the MCP list in Cursor. For more info, check the Cursor MCP docs.

npx -y @upstash/context7-mcp

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file. For more info, check the Windsurf MCP docs.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "context7": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

• list-available-docs: Lists all available documentation libraries from Context7
• get-library-documentation: Retrieves documentation for a specific library with options for:
  • libraryName: Name of the library to retrieve docs for
  • topic: Specific topic within the library
  • tokens: Maximum tokens to retrieve (default: 5000)

Clone the project and run:

npm install

You can use the following commands to format and lint the code:

npm run format
npm run lint

npm run build

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "context7": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/context7-mcp/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

You can also use the MCP Inspector to test the tools by following the MCP documentation for setting up the inspector.

npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx @upstash/context7-mcp
