Docs Lookup
Fetch latest docs/API refs/best practices before writing or suggesting code.
Tools (use what's available, skip unavailable)
Context7 MCP (resolve-library-id -> get-library-docs): best for specific library API refs
Perplexity MCP (perplexity_ask): broad questions, latest versions, breaking changes, migration guides
WebSearch: recent blog posts, release notes, changelogs
WebFetch: specific doc URLs from user or search results
Workflow
- Discover available tools (attempt call to confirm)
- Query in parallel: Context7 for API docs, Perplexity for broad questions, WebSearch/WebFetch as fallback
- Synthesize: current version, API signatures, recommended patterns, gotchas, breaking changes vs training data
- Cross-reference when tools disagree — prefer official docs
- Report findings + sources used
