What is the difference between 'code' and 'info' modes?

'Code' mode focuses on API signatures and implementation examples, while 'info' mode provides conceptual guides, tutorials, and architectural overviews.

Does this skill require an API key?

No, the skill works without an API key, but it is rate-limited. You can obtain a free key from the Context7 dashboard to increase your usage limits.

Can I get documentation for older versions of a library?

Yes, you can specify versions by appending them to the library ID, such as '/vercel/next.js/13', or by mentioning the version in your topic query.

How do I find the correct ID for a specific library?

You can use the built-in search command (scripts/context7.py search 'name') to find the exact library ID needed for documentation retrieval.

Which frameworks and libraries are supported?

It supports a vast range of packages from the npm and PyPI ecosystems, including React, Next.js, Prisma, Express, Vue, Angular, Svelte, and many others.

学习与文档

Fetches real-time library documentation, API references, and code examples for popular frameworks using the Context7 REST API.

关于

This skill provides Claude with instant access to up-to-date documentation for a wide array of libraries and frameworks, including React, Next.js, Prisma, and Express. By utilizing the Context7 REST API, it acts as a lightweight alternative to persistent MCP solutions, allowing the agent to retrieve version-specific patterns, API signatures, and conceptual guides without significant context overhead. It is particularly useful for ensuring code generation aligns with the latest official best practices and specific package versions.

主要功能

Search functionality to discover correct library IDs and repositories
Dual documentation modes: 'code' for API references and 'info' for conceptual guides
Version-specific documentation support (e.g., Next.js 14, React 18)
Real-time documentation retrieval for npm and PyPI packages
Lightweight Python-based implementation with no external dependencies
4 GitHub stars

使用场景

Referencing exact API signatures for database ORMs like Prisma during implementation
Generating boilerplate for modern frameworks like Next.js middleware or Server Actions
Migrating legacy codebases by looking up version-specific breaking changes and new patterns
