The supplied material identifies Context7 as a server for up-to-date code documentation in prompts, with npm, MCPB, and remote Streamable HTTP options. It is not marked official because the server is maintained by Upstash rather than Klavis. No concrete tools or client compatibility details are provided, so those fields remain empty.

Context7 is an MCP server provided by Upstash that supplies up-to-date code documentation for prompts. It is available through an npm package, a local MCPB package, or a remote Streamable HTTP service. The server is referenced from the Klavis repository, but its upstream repository is Upstash/context7.

Tools

The tool list has not been reviewed yet.

Setup

Run the @upstash/context7-mcp npm package over stdio, use the version 2.0.2 MCPB package, or connect to https://mcp.context7.com/mcp. CONTEXT7_API_KEY is optional, used for authentication, and marked as secret.

Fit and risk

Best for

  • Developers who need current code documentation
  • Teams using MCP-capable AI agents or clients
  • Users who want to connect through stdio or Streamable HTTP

Not for

  • Users seeking other MCP server capabilities from the Klavis repository
  • Users requiring a documented tool list or documented client compatibility
  • Offline workflows that cannot depend on the external Context7 service

Required permissions

  • If authentication is used, provide CONTEXT7_API_KEY
  • Remote usage requires network access to https://mcp.context7.com/mcp
  • Local stdio or MCPB usage requires the appropriate local runtime environment

Risks and side effects

  • The API key is secret and should not be exposed
  • Remote usage depends on network connectivity and Context7 service availability
  • The supplied sources do not specify the tool list, data handling scope, or detailed permissions

Troubleshooting

  1. Verify that the MCP client supports stdio or Streamable HTTP
  2. Check that the npm package or MCPB package uses version 2.0.2
  3. If authentication is needed, confirm that CONTEXT7_API_KEY is configured correctly and kept secret
  4. For remote usage, verify access to https://mcp.context7.com/mcp

Use cases
