`npx skills add https://github.com/upstash/context7-mcp --skill context7-mcp`Download ZIPGitHubWhen the user asks about libraries, frameworks, or needs code examples, use Context7 to fetch current documentation instead of relying on training data.

## When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when the user:

* Asks setup or configuration questions ("How do I configure Next.js middleware?")

* Requests code involving libraries ("Write a Prisma query for...")

* Needs API references ("What are the Supabase auth methods?")

* Mentions specific frameworks (React, Vue, Svelte, Express, Tailwind, etc.)

## How to Fetch Documentation

### Step 1: Resolve the Library ID

Call `resolve-library-id` with:

* `libraryName`: The library name extracted from the user's question

* `query`: The user's full question (improves relevance ranking)

### Step 2: Select the Best Match

From the resolution results, choose based on:

* Exact or closest name match to what the user asked for

* Higher benchmark scores indicate better documentation quality

* If the user mentioned a version (e.g., "React 19"), prefer version-specific IDs

### Step 3: Fetch the Documentation

Call `query-docs` with:

* `libraryId`: The selected Context7 library ID (e.g., `/vercel/next.js`)

* `query`: The user's specific question

### Step 4: Use the Documentation

Incorporate the fetched documentation into your response:

* Answer the user's question using current, accurate information

* Include relevant code examples from the docs

* Cite the library version when relevant

## Guidelines

* Be specific: Pass the user's full question as the query for better results

* Version awareness: When users mention versions ("Next.js 15", "React 19"), use version-specific library IDs if available from the resolution step

* Prefer official sources: When multiple matches exist, prefer official/primary packages over community forks
