Context7
MCP Server that provides up-to-date code documentation for LLMs and AI code editors.
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to any coding prompt and it fetches current docs for the library you're working with, eliminating hallucinated APIs and outdated code examples.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.

Integrates cleanly with Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible editors. The latency on doc retrieval is low enough that it doesn't interrupt flow.

Cut our LLM-assisted coding error rate noticeably after adding Context7 to our Claude setup. The up-to-date documentation retrieval is the key.

just add 'use context7' to any coding prompt and it pulls the right docs. zero configuration for common libraries
