Context7
Provides up-to-date library and framework documentation. Use instead of relying on training data for library-specific questions.
When to Use
- Setup or configuration questions for any library or framework
- API references (Spring Boot, Kotlin, React, etc.)
- Code involving specific libraries where version accuracy matters
- Any question where "latest docs" are more reliable than training data
How to Use
Step 1 — Identify the library: call resolve-library-id with the library name and the user's question
Step 2 — Choose the best match: select based on name accuracy, trustScore, totalSnippets, and version if mentioned
Step 3 — Retrieve docs: call query-docs with the selected library ID and the user's specific topic (and optional tokens budget)
Step 4 — Respond: incorporate documentation findings with code examples and version citations
Best Practices
- Be specific with queries — include the user's exact question, not just the library name
- Respect version preferences when the user specifies one
- Prefer official package sources over community alternatives when multiple matches exist
