      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.
