Ask your agent#
The easiest way is to paste this prompt into your coding agent:
The agent runs npx ctx7@latest setup for your client. Then you sign in to Context7 with OAuth in the browser. You do not need an API key.
To set up the Context7 Admin MCP, paste this prompt:
Run the setup command#
Or run the setup command yourself. It finds the agents on your machine and configures Context7 for each one.
