context7

---

name: context7 description: Retrieves up-to-date documentation and code examples for any programming library. Use when implementing features with external libraries, troubleshooting library errors, or when unsure about correct API usage.

When using Context7 for documentation lookup:

1. Resolve the library ID first: Always call resolve-library-id before query-docs to get the correct Context7-compatible library ID
2. Be specific with queries: Use detailed questions like "How to set up authentication with JWT in Express.js" rather than vague terms like "auth"
3. Verify API usage: When code fails or behaves unexpectedly, query Context7 to check for breaking changes or deprecated methods
4. Limit calls: Do not call either tool more than 3 times per question - use the best result available

Common use cases:

• Implementing new features with unfamiliar libraries
• Debugging errors related to library APIs
• Checking for current best practices and patterns
• Verifying method signatures and parameters
