## :sparkles: Features
**context7-http** is a MCP server that supports HTTP streaming for the [Context7](https://context7.com) project.
This allows you to utilize the MCP server from anywhere, without installing anything locally.
- HTTP `streamable` support.
- Provides `resolve-library-uri` and `search-library-docs` tools for finding libraries, and searching their documentation.
> [!WARNING]
> This server utilizes the `v1` variant of the Context7 API, which may eventually be
> removed by the Context7 team. Note that the `v2` API requires API keys, is drastically
> more ratelimited, and expanded use does require paying. [See here](https://context7.com/plans).

## :gear: Usage
If you'd like to run context7-http yourself, use the following:
```console
$ context7-http \
--debug \
--bind-addr "0.0.0.0:8080" \
--base-url https://context7.your-domain.com \ # only needed if using sse, http streamable doesn't need this
--trusted-proxies "x-forwarded-for,10.0.0.0/8" \ # if behind a reverse proxy
--heartbeat-interval 55s # for those with spotty networks or annoying network proxies
```
------------
For all examples below, replace `context7.liam.sh` with your own MCP server URL, if you're running your own instance.
Configured endpoints:
- `https://context7.liam.sh/mcp` - HTTP `streamable` endpoint.
Other than swapping out the `mcpServer` block (or similar, depending on your client), usage should match that of the
[official Context7 documentation](https://github.com/upstash/context7#-with-context7)
### VSCode, Cursor, etc
[Cursor MCP docs](https://docs.cursor.com/context/model-context-protocol#configuring-mcp-servers), and
[VS Code MCP docs](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/chat/mcp-servers) for more info.
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"context7": {
"url": "https://context7.liam.sh/mcp"
}
}
}
```
