[Mastra](https://mastra.ai) is a TypeScript framework for building AI agents. It provides first-class MCP support through its `MCPClient` class. By connecting Context7 as an MCP server, your Mastra agents can access up-to-date library documentation, enabling them to generate accurate code and answer technical questions with current API references.

For more details on how Mastra handles MCP, see the [Mastra MCP documentation](https://mastra.ai/docs/mcp/overview).

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install the MCP Package">
    Add the Mastra MCP package to your project:

    ```bash
    npm install @mastra/mcp@latest
    ```
  </Step>
  <Step title="Create an MCP Client">
    Configure an `MCPClient` that connects to Context7:

    ```typescript
    import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";

    const context7 = new MCPClient({
      id: "context7",
      servers: {
        context7: {
          url: new URL("https://mcp.context7.com/mcp"),
          requestInit: {
            headers: {
              CONTEXT7_API_KEY: process.env.CONTEXT7_API_KEY!,
            },
          },
        },
      },
    });
    ```

    Set `CONTEXT7_API_KEY` in your environment with your API key from the [Context7 dashboard](https://context7.com/dashboard).
  </Step>
  <Step title="Connect to Your Agent">
    Pass the Context7 tools to your Mastra agent:

    ```typescript
    import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";

    const agent = new Agent({
      id: "coding-assistant",
      name: "Coding Assistant",
      instructions: "You are a helpful coding assistant with access to up-to-date library documentation via Context7.",
      model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6",
      tools: await context7.listTools(),
    });
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How It Works

Once connected, your Mastra agents will query Context7 for relevant library documentation. This helps agents:

- Answer technical questions with accurate, up-to-date API references
- Generate code that follows current library patterns and best practices
- Avoid hallucinating outdated or incorrect API usage
- Provide version-specific guidance for any supported library
