Intro

Context7 is an MCP server that gives AI code editors access to up-to-date, version-specific library documentation. Instead of relying on outdated training data, your AI assistant fetches real documentation for React, Next.js, Python, Node.js, and 1,000+ other libraries in real-time. Eliminates code hallucinations caused by stale API knowledge. 51,000+ GitHub stars, MIT licensed.

Best for: Any developer using AI coding tools who wants accurate, current documentation Works with: Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, any MCP client


How It Works

  1. You ask your AI assistant about a library (e.g., "How do I use Next.js App Router?")
  2. Context7 MCP fetches the latest documentation for that library version
  3. AI generates code based on current docs — not outdated training data

Why It Matters

  • React 19 patterns differ from React 18 — training data may be stale
  • Next.js 15 App Router has different APIs than Pages Router
  • Python 3.12 has features LLMs don't know about

Supported Libraries

1,000+ libraries indexed and updated continuously: React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, Angular, Node.js, Express, FastAPI, Django, Flask, TailwindCSS, Prisma, Drizzle, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS SDK, and many more.
