  both a REST API and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI coding
  assistants can fetch authoritative reference material at prompt time.

      The Context7 REST API exposes endpoints for searching libraries,
      retrieving documentation context for LLMs, refreshing indexed sources,
      and submitting new sources (GitHub repositories, OpenAPI specs, llms.txt
      files, websites, and Confluence spaces). Endpoints span v1 and v2 paths
      under https://context7.com/api and use Bearer token authentication with
      keys issued from the Context7 dashboard.

      The Context7 MCP Server implements the Model Context Protocol so AI
      coding assistants such as Cursor, Claude, and Windsurf can call Context7
      tools directly from a developer's editor. It exposes resolve-library-id
      (mapping a library name to a Context7-compatible identifier) and
      query-docs (returning documentation snippets for a given library and
      query) and is hosted at https://mcp.context7.com/mcp with API key
      authentication.

      The Context7 CLI (ctx7) is a command-line tool for querying the Context7
      index from the terminal. It provides ctx7 library for searching the
      catalog by library name and ctx7 docs for retrieving documentation
      using a Context7-compatible library ID, useful for scripting and local
      developer workflows.
