PackDocs & knowledgeThe 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.
