Add the Context7 MCP server to Claude Code

Run /mcp inside Claude Code to sign in to remote servers that use OAuth. Context7 is hosted by Upstash, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.

Ask Claude Code for something Context7 can do. Pulls current, version-specific library docs and code examples into the prompt. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.

• · Add --scope project to share a server with your team through .mcp.json in the repo.
• · Use claude mcp list to see what is connected and claude mcp remove <name> to drop one.
