## What this server does

Context7 fixes the stalest part of coding with an LLM: library docs. It pulls current, version-specific documentation and code examples for thousands of packages and injects them into the model's context, so the assistant stops hallucinating APIs that shipped after its training cutoff. Ask it to resolve a library, then fetch the docs for the version you actually use. It works without a key on a rate-limited free tier; add a Context7 API key for higher limits.

## Tools included

-   resolve\_library\_id
    
    Resolve a library name to a Context7 ID.
    
-   get\_library\_docs
    
    Fetch current, version-specific docs for a library.
    

The authoritative list comes from the server's tools/list at runtime. This catalog entry may lag the upstream until the next ToolPiper release.

## Install in ToolPiper

## Security notes

Works keyless on a rate-limited free tier, so no credential is required to start. An optional CONTEXT7\_API\_KEY raises limits; if you add one, treat it as a credential. The server only reads public documentation, so the privacy posture is low-risk; the content it returns is third-party docs, not your code.
