> Install guide for the Context7 MCP server in Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code,
> Claude Desktop, and Windsurf.

Context7 MCP fetches current, version-specific library docs into AI coding tools
so the model is not stuck on training-cutoff APIs.

Guides and JSON live on mcpcontext7.com. The MCP server to install is the remote
HTTP endpoint at mcp.context7.com. There is no zip or exe to download.

## Install in Claude Code

    claude mcp add --scope user --transport http context7 https://mcp.context7.com/mcp

Restart Claude Code, then run `claude mcp list` and check that `context7` appears.
Add `use context7` to a prompt when you want current library docs.
