description: Installation examples for MCP clients
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Context7 supports all MCP clients. Below are configuration examples for popular clients. If your client isn't listed, check its documentation for MCP server installation. To configure manually, use the Context7 server URL `https://mcp.context7.com/mcp` with your MCP client and pass your API key via the `CONTEXT7_API_KEY` header.
|
|
|
|
<Tip>
|
|
Looking for the easiest way to get started? Use `npx ctx7 setup` to configure Context7
|
|
automatically, and `npx ctx7 remove` to remove the generated setup later. See the [CLI
|
|
docs](/clients/cli) for more details.
|
|
</Tip>

## OAuth Authentication
|
|
|
|
Context7 MCP server supports OAuth 2.0 authentication for MCP clients that implement the [MCP OAuth specification](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-03-26/basic/authorization).
|
|
|
|
To use OAuth, change the endpoint from `/mcp` to `/mcp/oauth` in your client configuration:
|
|
|
|
```diff
|
|
- "url": "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp"
|
|
+ "url": "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp/oauth"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
OAuth is only available for remote HTTP connections. For local MCP connections using stdio transport, use API key authentication instead.

|
|
You can also install Context7 as a Codex plugin. It connects to the hosted MCP server and includes a documentation lookup skill. After installation, a browser window opens so you can log in via OAuth.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
codex plugin marketplace add upstash/context7
|
|
codex plugin add context7@context7-marketplace
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Start a new Codex thread after installation so Codex can load the plugin.
|
|
|
|
#### Using CLI
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
codex mcp add context7 -- npx -y @upstash/context7-mcp --api-key YOUR_API_KEY
|
|
```
|
|

You can configure the Context7 MCP server in **Kilo Code** using either the UI or by editing your config file. See [Kilo Code MCP docs](https://kilo.ai/docs/automate/mcp/using-in-kilo-code) for more info.
|
|
|
|
Kilo Code stores MCP servers in a `kilo.jsonc` file:
|
|
|
|
- **Global** — `~/.config/kilo/kilo.jsonc`
|
|
- **Project** — `kilo.jsonc` in your project root or `.kilo/kilo.jsonc` (takes precedence)
|
|
|
|
### Configure via Kilo Code UI
|
|
|
|
1. Click the **Settings** icon in the sidebar toolbar.
|
|
2. Navigate to the **Agent Behaviour** tab.
|
|
3. Select the **MCP Servers** sub-tab.
|
|
4. Click **Add Server** and choose **Remote (HTTP)** or **Local (stdio)**.
|
|
5. Fill in the details and save.
|

|
|
### Manual Configuration
|
|
|
|
In the **MCP** section, use **Import from JSON** and paste the following (a top-level `mcpServers` object keyed by server name):
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"mcpServers": {
|
|
"context7": {
|
|
"command": "npx",
|
|
"args": ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp", "--api-key", "YOUR_API_KEY"]

<Accordion title="Gemini CLI">
|
|
|
|
See [Gemini CLI Configuration](https://google-gemini.github.io/gemini-cli/docs/tools/mcp-server.html) for details.
|
|
|
|
1. Open the Gemini CLI settings file at `~/.gemini/settings.json`
|
|
2. Add the following to the `mcpServers` object:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"mcpServers": {
|
|
"context7": {

"httpUrl": "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp",

<Accordion title="Hermes">
|
|
|
|
Use the Hermes CLI or edit `~/.hermes/config.yaml` directly. See the [Hermes CLI docs](https://github.com/nousresearch/hermes-agent/blob/main/website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md) for more info.
|
|
|
|
#### Remote Server Connection (API Key)
|
|
|
|
Add this to your Hermes config file (`~/.hermes/config.yaml`).
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
mcp_servers:
|
|
context7:
|
|
url: "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp"
|
|
headers:
|
|
CONTEXT7_API_KEY: "YOUR_API_KEY"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Remote Server Connection (OAuth)
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
mcp_servers:
|
|
context7:
|
|
url: "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp/oauth"
|
|
auth: oauth
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Using CLI (OAuth)
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
hermes mcp add context7 --url https://mcp.context7.com/mcp/oauth --auth oauth
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Local Server Connection
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
mcp_servers:
|
|
context7:
|
|
command: "npx"
|
|
args: ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp", "--api-key", "YOUR_API_KEY"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
Start with the API key method if you want the most direct setup. Hermes also supports OAuth for remote MCP servers via `auth: oauth`. On headless setups, Hermes may print an authorization URL to stdout or logs for you to open manually. If `hermes mcp add ... --auth oauth` drops into the interactive agent without saving the server entry, add the `mcp_servers.context7` config manually, then run `hermes mcp test context7` to trigger the auth flow and verify the connection.

|
|
|
|
1. Open the Qwen Code settings file at `~/.qwen/settings.json` (user scope) or `.qwen/settings.json` (project scope)
|
|
2. Add the following to the `mcpServers` object:
|
|
|

#### Remote Server Connection

|
|
```json

1. Create a `Dockerfile`:
|
|
|
|
```Dockerfile
|
|
FROM node:22-alpine
|
|
WORKDIR /app
|
|
RUN npm install -g @upstash/context7-mcp
|
|
CMD ["context7-mcp", "--transport", "stdio"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Build the image:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker build -t context7-mcp .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Configure your MCP client:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"mcpServers": {
|
|
"context7": {
|
|
"command": "docker",

"args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "context7-mcp"],

</Accordion>

|
<Accordion title="Docker MCP Toolkit">
|
|
|
|
Context7 is available in the [Docker MCP Catalog](https://hub.docker.com/mcp/server/context7/overview) as a **remote** server, so you don't need to build, pull, or run a local image. The MCP Toolkit connects to the hosted endpoint for you.
|
|
|
|
1. In Docker Desktop, open **MCP Toolkit → Catalog**, search for **Context7**, and enable it.
|
|
2. (Optional) In the server's **Config** tab, set your Context7 API key (`CONTEXT7_API_KEY`) for higher rate limits. The server also works without one.
|
|
3. Connect your MCP client to Docker's MCP gateway. Either run `docker mcp client connect <client>` (for example `vscode`, `cursor`, or `claude-desktop`), or add the gateway to your client config manually:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"mcpServers": {
|
|
"MCP_DOCKER": {
|
|
"command": "docker",
|
|
"args": ["mcp", "gateway", "run"],
|
|
"type": "stdio"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The gateway exposes every server you've enabled in the MCP Toolkit, including Context7. Tools appear under the `MCP_DOCKER` server in your client.
|
