Context7

Overview

This skill enables retrieval of current documentation for software libraries and components by querying the Context7 API via curl. Use it instead of relying on potentially outdated training data.

Workflow

Step 1: Search for the Library

To find the Context7 library ID, query the search endpoint:

curl -s "https://context7.com/api/v2/libs/search?libraryName=LIBRARY_NAME&query=TOPIC" | jq '.results[0]'

Parameters:

• libraryName (required): The library name to search for (e.g., "react", "nextjs", "fastapi", "axios")
• query (required): A description of the topic for relevance ranking

Response fields:

• id: Library identifier for the context endpoint (e.g., /websites/react_dev_reference)
• title: Human-readable library name
• description: Brief description of the library
• totalSnippets: Number of documentation snippets available

Step 2: Fetch Documentation

To retrieve documentation, use the library ID from step 1:

curl -s "https://context7.com/api/v2/context?libraryId=LIBRARY_ID&query=TOPIC&type=txt"

Parameters:

• libraryId (required): The library ID from search results
• query (required): The specific topic to retrieve documentation for
• type (optional): Response format - json (default) or txt (plain text, more readable)

Examples

React hooks documentation

# Find React library ID
curl -s "https://context7.com/api/v2/libs/search?libraryName=react&query=hooks" | jq '.results[0].id'
# Returns: "/websites/react_dev_reference"

# Fetch useState documentation
curl -s "https://context7.com/api/v2/context?libraryId=/websites/react_dev_reference&query=useState&type=txt"

Next.js routing documentation

# Find Next.js library ID
curl -s "https://context7.com/api/v2/libs/search?libraryName=nextjs&query=routing" | jq '.results[0].id'

# Fetch app router documentation
curl -s "https://context7.com/api/v2/context?libraryId=/vercel/next.js&query=app+router&type=txt"
