Factory AI is a coding agent platform that uses “Droids” to handle development tasks. By connecting Context7 as an MCP server, Factory Droids can access up-to-date library documentation during coding tasks. For more details on how Factory AI handles MCP, see the Factory AI MCP documentation.

​
Setup

There are multiple ways to add Context7 as an MCP server in Factory AI. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your API key from the Context7 dashboard.

​
Using the CLI

droid mcp add context7 https://mcp.context7.com/mcp --type http --header "CONTEXT7_API_KEY: YOUR_API_KEY"

​
Using the MCP Manager

Run the /mcp command inside Factory and add Context7 from the interface.

​
Using a Configuration File

Add Context7 directly to your .factory/mcp.json (project-level) or ~/.factory/mcp.json (user-level): 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "context7": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "CONTEXT7_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

​
How It Works

Once connected, Factory Droids will query Context7 for relevant library documentation during coding tasks. This helps Droids:
  • Use correct API signatures and patterns from the latest documentation
  • Avoid deprecated methods or outdated usage patterns
  • Generate implementations aligned with library best practices
  • Produce higher-quality code with fewer revision cycles
