context7

PackDocs & knowledge

The context7 plugin is a documentation lookup tool for AI agents. It connects to Context7's hosted remote MCP server to pull version-specific library documentation and code examples directly from source repositories into the model's context. Because the server is hosted remotely, no local Node.js or npx setup is required.

Unavailable. A Claude Code plugin. It installs in Claude Code, and ahel does not serve packs through its connector yet.

In Claude Code, run:

/plugin install context7@claude-plugins-official

It installs from Anthropic's official plugin marketplace.

What your AI can do with it

  • Fetch up-to-date library documentation for the agent's current task
  • Retrieve version-specific documentation rather than generic docs
  • Pull code examples directly from source repositories
  • Connect to the hosted remote MCP server at https://mcp.context7.com/mcp
  • Run without a local Node.js or npx installation

Getting started

  1. Have an AI agent setup that supports plugins and MCP servers.
  2. Add the context7 plugin to your agent's configuration.
  3. Point the plugin at Context7's hosted remote MCP server (https://mcp.context7.com/mcp).
  4. Ask your agent to look up documentation for a library and it will fetch current, version-specific docs and code examples.
