What I do

I help you get accurate, up-to-date documentation for any library or framework using Context7.

Commands

Search for a library

ctx7 library <library-name> "<query>"

Returns matching libraries with their IDs.

Get documentation

ctx7 docs <library-id> "<query>"

Retrieves relevant documentation for a specific library.

When to use me

Use me when:

• You need library/API documentation
• Generating code that uses specific libraries
• Looking for setup or configuration steps
• Need version-specific code examples

Example workflow

1. Search for the library:

   ctx7 library nextjs "middleware authentication"
   

2. Get docs using the returned library ID:

   ctx7 docs /vercel/next.js "how to create middleware for auth"
   

Tips

• Use the library ID format: /org/project (e.g., /vercel/next.js)
• Specify versions in your query for version-specific docs
• API key recommended: get one at https://context7.com/dashboard
