# Context7 - Library Documentation Fetch live, version-specific documentation for any library or framework via the Context7 REST API. Returns authoritative docs formatted for LLM consumption. > **Naming note.** A user-level Claude Code plugin also exposes a skill called `context7:context7` (namespaced form). When the user types `/context7` without the namespace, the local skill in this file wins per Claude Code's bare-name lookup precedence (local > plugin). To force the plugin variant, type the namespaced form explicitly. Both skills do similar things; the local one uses the workspace's own CONTEXT7_API_KEY and `scripts/context7.py`, the plugin uses its own MCP-style backend. ## Prerequisites `CONTEXT7_API_KEY` should be set in the workspace `.env` file. The script auto-loads it via `python-dotenv`. ``` # In the workspace root .env file: CONTEXT7_API_KEY=ctx7sk-your-key-here ``` Get a free key at: https://context7.com/dashboard The API works without a key but with lower rate limits. ## Workflow 1. Parse the user input: first word is the library name, remainder is the query. If only a library name is given, use "documentation" as the default query. 2. Run the script: ```bash python scripts/context7.py "<library_name>" "<query>" ``` Examples: - `/context7 react hooks` -> `python scripts/context7.py "react" "hooks"` - `/context7 nextjs app router middleware` -> `python scripts/context7.py "nextjs" "app router middleware"` - `/context7 python-pptx` -> `python scripts...
