Context7 MCP is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Context7 MCP comes from a repository tagged ai-agents, automation, bmad, claude-code and clean-code.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Context7 MCP

HARD GATE — Max 3 Context7 tool calls per user question (resolve-library-id + query-docs count toward the cap). On quota/rate-limit errors, emit an explicit CONTEXT7_UNAVAILABLE block — do NOT silently answer from training data.

HARD GATE — Before HTTP fetch, check bash scripts/lib/doc-fetch-cache.sh get "<libraryId>:<query>". Cache hit within TTL → use cached body (no round-trip). On ETag mismatch after conditional refresh, replace cache entry.

When to Use

Setup/configuration questions ("How do I configure Next.js middleware?")
Code involving libraries ("Write a Prisma query for…")
API references ("What are the Supabase auth methods?")
User mentions specific frameworks (React, Vue, Svelte, Express, Tailwind, etc.)

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
