Search and docs endpoints also work anonymously at low rate limits, but a key is required for higher rate limits, some endpoints (e.g. adding libraries), and private repositories. On the REST API send it as `Authorization: Bearer <key>`; on the MCP server send it as a `CONTEXT7_API_KEY` header; for the CLI run `ctx7 login` or `ctx7 setup --api-key <key>`. See the [API guide](https://context7.com/docs/api-guide)."

Discovery is standard: the MCP endpoint publishes RFC 9728 metadata at `https://mcp.context7.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource`, pointing at the authorization server `https://context7.com` (RFC 8414 metadata at `/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`).
