Guide for setup Context7 MCP server to load documentation for specific technologies.

Instructions onlyAI & Agents
AI-generated overview

Guides setup of the Context7 MCP server and records recommended documentation library IDs in a CLAUDE.md file.

What it does
This skill walks through configuring the Context7 MCP server, first asking where configuration should live (project-shared, project-local, or user-global) and then checking whether the server is already reachable. If it is not, it directs the user to the upstream README for setup steps matching their agent and operating system. It then parses the requested languages and frameworks, searches Context7 for matching documentation, and writes recommended library IDs into the chosen CLAUDE.md file.
When to use it
Use it when an agent needs up-to-date library documentation through Context7 and the MCP server is not yet configured. It also fits when you want a project's or user's CLAUDE.md to list recommended Context7 documentation IDs for the technologies in use.
Requirements
Requires the Context7 MCP server and network access to fetch the upstream README and query Context7. It ships no scripts; it only edits a CLAUDE.md or CLAUDE.local.md file and may need .gitignore updates.

Guide for setup Context7 MCP server

1. Determine setup context

Ask the user where they want to store the configuration:

Options:

  1. Project level (shared via git) - Configuration tracked in version control, shared with team

    • CLAUDE.md updates go to: ./CLAUDE.md
  2. Project level (personal preferences) - Configuration stays local, not tracked in git

    • CLAUDE.md updates go to: ./CLAUDE.local.md
    • Verify these files are listed in .gitignore, add them if not
  3. User level (global) - Configuration applies to all projects for this user

    • CLAUDE.md updates go to: ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md

Store the user's choice and use the appropriate paths in subsequent steps.

2. Check if Context7 MCP server is already setup

Check whether you have access to Context7 MCP server by making request.

if no, load https://raw.githubusercontent.com/upstash/context7/refs/heads/master/README.md file and guide user through setup process that applicable to agent/operation system.

3. Update CLAUDE.md file

Use the path determined in step 1:

  • Parse user input, if it empty read current project structure and used technologies, if project empty ask user to provide list of languages and frameworks that planned to be used in this project.
  • Search through context7 MCP for relevant technologies documentation
  • Update the appropriate CLAUDE.md file with following content:

### Use Context7 MCP for Loading Documentation
Context7 MCP is available to fetch up-to-date documentation with code examples.
**Recommended library IDs**:
- `[doc-id]` - short description of documentation
