Context7 MCP integration for Claude and Codex

Create a Context7 MCP connection, then control which Spaces can use its approved tools and data without pasting credentials into prompts or threads.

Use Context7 MCP from Claude

Add the Context7 MCP connection to a Space that runs Claude, then use it from every channel in that Space.

Use Context7 MCP from Codex

Add the Context7 MCP connection to a Space that runs Codex, then use it from every channel in that Space.

Use Context7 MCP from Sidekick

Connect your own OpenClaw to Sidekick while Type provides the conversations, permissions, connections, skills, and automations.

Developer Tools & IT

What the Context7 MCP connector can do

Context7 MCP pulls up-to-date, version-specific documentation and code examples straight from the source — and places them directly into your prompt

One connection, many Spaces

Connect Context7 MCP once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

Representative actions

  • Query-docs

    Retrieves and queries up-to-date documentation and code examples from Context7 for any programming library or framework. You must call 'resolve-library-id' first to obtain the exact Context7-compatible library ID required to use this tool, UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query. IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 calls, use the best information you have.

  • Resolve-library-id

    Resolves a package/product name to a Context7-compatible library ID and returns matching libraries. You MUST call this function before 'query-docs' to obtain a valid Context7-compatible library ID UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query. Selection Process: 1. Analyze the query to understand what library/package the user is looking for 2. Return the most relevant match based on: - Name similarity to the query (exact matches prioritized) - Description relevance to the query's intent - Documentation coverage (prioritize libraries with higher Code Snippet counts) - Source reputation (consider libraries with High or Medium reputation more authoritative) - Benchmark Score: Quality indicator (100 is the highest score) Response Format: - Return the selected library ID in a clearly marked section - Provide a brief explanation for why this library was chosen - If multiple good matches exist, acknowledge this but proceed with the most relevant one - If no good matches exist, clearly state this and suggest query refinements For ambiguous queries, request clarification before proceeding with a best-guess match. IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 calls, use the best result you have.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting Context7 MCP

Can Claude use Context7 MCP?

Yes. Add a Context7 MCP connection to a Space that runs Claude, then use its approved tools and data from any channel in that Space.

Can Codex work with Context7 MCP through Type?

Yes. Add a Context7 MCP connection to a Space that runs Codex, then use its approved tools and data from any channel in that Space.

Is this the same as a Context7 MCP MCP server?

Not exactly. Type uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
