Context7 is an MCP server and hosted platform by Upstash that pulls up-to-date, version-specific library documentation and code examples directly into LLM prompts and AI coding assistants. It integrates with tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and VS Code to ground AI-generated code in current, real APIs.

Use cases

  • get up-to-date library docs inside AI coding assistants
  • stop LLMs from hallucinating nonexistent APIs
  • inject version-specific code examples into prompts
  • wire documentation retrieval into Cursor or Claude Code via MCP
  • ground AI code generation in current framework APIs
  • reduce outdated code examples from stale training data

When to choose

  • you use AI coding assistants and hit outdated or hallucinated API suggestions
  • you want an MCP server that supplies current library documentation to LLMs
  • you need version-specific docs for frameworks like Next.js, Supabase, or Cloudflare Workers in your prompts

When to avoid

  • you need fully offline documentation retrieval with no external service dependency
  • you require self-hosting on the free tier (self-hosting is enterprise-only)
  • your workflow doesn't involve LLMs or AI-assisted coding
