Add a Rule

To avoid typing use context7 in every prompt, add a rule to your MCP client to automatically invoke Context7 for code-related questions:
  • Cursor: Cursor Settings > Rules
  • Claude Code: CLAUDE.md
  • Or the equivalent in your MCP client
Example rule:
Always use Context7 MCP when I need library/API documentation, code generation, setup or configuration steps without me having to explicitly ask.

Use Library ID

If you already know exactly which library you want to use, add its Context7 ID to your prompt. That way, Context7 MCP server can skip the library-matching step and directly continue with retrieving docs.
Implement basic authentication with Supabase. use library /supabase/supabase for API and docs.
The slash syntax tells the MCP tool exactly which library to load docs for.

Specify a Version

To get documentation for a specific library version, just mention the version in your prompt:
How do I set up Next.js 14 middleware? use context7
Context7 will automatically match the appropriate version.
