name	context7-mcp
description	Use when the agent needs current library or framework documentation. Activates for setup questions, code generation involving libraries, or mentions of specific frameworks like React, Next.js, Prisma, etc.

Context7 MCP

When asked about libraries, frameworks, or SDK APIs, use Context7 to fetch current documentation instead of relying on training data.

When to Use This Skill

Activate when:

• The user asks a setup or configuration question ("How do I configure Next.js middleware?")
• The user requests code involving a library ("Write a Prisma query for...")
• The user needs an API reference ("What are the Supabase auth methods?")
• The user mentions a specific framework (React, Vue, Svelte, Tailwind, Prisma, Supabase, etc.)

How to Fetch Documentation

Step 1: Resolve the Library ID

Call context7_resolve_library with:

• library_name: the library name from the user's question
• query: the user's full question (improves relevance ranking)

Step 2: Select the Best Match

From the resolution results, choose:

• The exact or closest name match
• Higher benchmark scores = better documentation quality
• If the user mentioned a version (e.g. "React 19"), prefer version-specific IDs

Step 3: Fetch the Documentation

Call context7_query_docs with:

• library_id: the Context7 library ID from step 2 (e.g. /vercel/next.js)
• query: the user's specific question
• tokens: leave at default (5000) unless the user asked for a comprehensive overview

Step 4: Answer Using the Docs

• Answer using current, accurate documentation
• Include relevant code examples
• Cite the library version when relevant

Guidelines

• Pass the user's full question as query for better relevance
• When users mention versions, use version-specific library IDs if available
• Prefer official/primary packages over community forks when multiple matches exist
