| name | context7-query-docs |
| description | To fetch up-to-date docs and code examples from Context7 for a known library, query by a resolved library ID after running resolve-library-id (max 3 calls). |
Usage
Use the MCP tool dev-swarm.request to send the payload as a JSON string:
{"server_id":"context7","tool_name":"query-docs","arguments":{}}
Tool Description
Retrieves and queries up-to-date documentation and code examples from Context7 for any programming library or framework. You must call 'resolve-library-id' first to obtain the exact Context7-compatible library ID required to use this tool, UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query. IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 calls, use the best information you have.

},
"query": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The question or task you need help with. Be specific and include relevant details.
