Context7
Context7 retrieves library documentation and examples for coding assistants through MCP or a CLI, including version-specific API questions.
Overview
Use Context7 when a coding assistant suggests an outdated API or needs documentation for a particular library version. It supplies reference material rather than validating the resulting code. It is useful when maintaining several frameworks or upgrading dependencies.
