Context7 MCP Skill

# Context7 Skill

Use this skill to query library documentation and code examples.

Prerequisites

• `uxc` skill is installed (see uxc skill for installation)
• Network access to `https://mcp.context7.com/mcp`

Core Workflow

1. Use fixed link command by default:
2. - `command -v context7-mcp-cli`
3. - If missing, create it: `uxc link context7-mcp-cli mcp.context7.com/mcp`
4. - `context7-mcp-cli -h`
5. - If command conflict is detected and cannot be safely reused, stop and ask skill maintainers to pick a different fixed command name.

1. Resolve a library name to get library ID:
2. - `context7-mcp-cli resolve-library-id libraryName=react query='useState hook'`

1. Query documentation:
2. - `context7-mcp-cli query-docs libraryId=/reactjs/react.dev query='how to use useState'`

Available Tools

• resolve-library-id: Resolve a package/library name to Context7 library ID
• query-docs: Query documentation and code examples for a specific library

Usage Examples

Find React documentation

```bash # First resolve the library context7-mcp-cli resolve-library-id libraryName=react query='React useState hook' ```

Query specific documentation

```bash context7-mcp-cli query-docs '{"libraryId":"/reactjs/react.dev","query":"how to use useEffect"}' ```

Query Node.js documentation

```bash context7-mcp-cli resolve-library-id libraryName=node query='file system' ```

Notes

• Requires library name first, then use the returned libraryId for queries
• Context7 provides version-specific, up-to-date documentation
• Supports npm packages, Python libraries, and more
• `context7-mcp-cli <operation> ...` is equivalent to `uxc mcp.context7.com/mcp <operation> ...`.
• If link setup is temporarily unavailable, use direct `uxc mcp.context7.com/mcp ...` calls as fallback.
