Context7 vs claude-faf-mcp

Context7: Context7 is an MCP server that injects up-to-date, version-specific library documentation directly into LLM prompts. Add "use context7" to any coding prompt and it fetches current docs for the library you're working with, eliminating hallucinated APIs and outdated code examples. Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible editor.; claude-faf-mcp: .FAF optimizes AI for your codebase by using an IANA-registered format to create project DNA, ensuring AI never forgets critical context. This eliminates 91% token waste and saves significant costs by maintaining eternal bi-sync between `.faf` and `CLAUDE.md`.
