Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Context7 What's the latest documentation for the requests library in Python?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Install Context7 MCP server in Claude Code:
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http context7 https://mcp.context7.ai/mcpRestart Claude Code, then claude mcp list. You want context7 in that list.
Same command on context7.ai.
That command is the install. --scope user puts it in every project. Leave the flag off if you only want the current repo.
Optional API key (rate limits, private repos). Make one at context7.ai/dashboard, then:
claude mcp add --scope user --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" --transport http context7 https://mcp.context7.ai/mcp
JSON config: under mcpServers, add context7 with type http and url https://mcp.context7.ai/mcp. Drop-in files: examples/claude_desktop_config.json, examples/cursor.json, examples/vscode.json, examples/windsurf.json.
Claude Code plugin: plugins/claude/context7. Skill: skills/context7-mcp/SKILL.md. MCP registry manifest: server.json.
Remote HTTP vs local npx: this page is the remote. npx ctx7 setup and npx -y @upstash/context7-mcp are the local/stdio path. I use the remote so I do not run another Node process.

Ask for something library-specific and add use context7 to the prompt.
Once it is connected you get Context7's tools, resolve-library-id and query-docs.
context7 mcp not connecting / context7 mcp server not found: run claude mcp list. Missing means the add did not stick, or you skipped the restart. Listed but dead usually means you added both mcp.context7.ai and mcp.context7.com under the same name.
spawn context7-mcp ENOENT is a local stdio install that cannot find a binary. Use the remote HTTP command above.
