Setup
Configure Context7 MCP and a rule for your AI coding agents. Authenticates via OAuth, generates an API key, and writes the config.
For a custom --base-url, setup discovers whether MCP authentication is enabled and writes either an anonymous HTTP entry or an Authorization: Bearer header. Interactive setup requests the personal key with masked input, keeping it out of shell history; --api-key and CONTEXT7_API_KEY remain available for automation. Setup uses bundled rule and skill content and skips the npm update check and telemetry, so after ctx7 is installed it contacts only the configured deployment. Enterprise environments can mirror ctx7 and its dependencies in an internal npm registry. Custom deployments support MCP HTTP setup; hosted OAuth, stdio, and CLI-query mode are not supported for on-premise targets.
Uninstall setup
Remove the Context7 setup written by ctx7 setup. By default this removes both MCP setup and CLI setup for the selected agent.
If you installed the CLI itself globally with npm install -g ctx7, remove that separately with npm uninstall -g ctx7. If you use npx ctx7, there is no permanent CLI install to remove.
Authentication
Log in to access authenticated setup and higher documentation rate limits.
Supported Clients
The CLI automatically detects which AI coding agents you have installed and configures Context7 for them:
| Client | Skills Directory |
| Universal (Amp, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode + more) | .agents/skills/ | | Claude Code | .claude/skills/ | | Cursor | .cursor/skills/ | | VS Code | .agents/skills/ | | Devin | .devin/skills/ | | GitHub Copilot CLI | .agents/skills/ | | Antigravity | .agent/skills/ |
Disabling Telemetry
The CLI collects anonymous usage data to help improve the product. To disable telemetry, set the CTX7_TELEMETRY_DISABLED environment variable:
