"mcp": {"context7": {"type":"remote","url":"https://mcp.context7.com/mcp","headers": {"CONTEXT7_API_KEY":"YOUR_API_KEY"    },"enabled":true  }}

{"mcp": {"context7": {"type":"local","command": ["npx","-y","@upstash/context7-mcp","--api-key","YOUR_API_KEY"],"enabled":true    }  }}

SeeOpenAI Codex for more information.

Add the following configuration to your OpenAI Codex MCP server settings:

[mcp_servers.context7]args = ["-y","@upstash/context7-mcp","--api-key","YOUR_API_KEY"]command ="npx"

⚠️ Windows Notes

On Windows, some users may encounter request timed out errors with the default configuration.In that case, explicitly configure the MCP server with the full path to Node.js and the installed package:

[mcp_servers.context7]command ="C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe"args = ["C:\\Users\\yourname\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\@upstash\\context7-mcp\\dist\\index.js","--transport","stdio","--api-key","YOUR_API_KEY"]

Alternatively, you can use the following configuration:

[mcp_servers.context7]command ="cmd"args = ["/c","npx","-y","@upstash/context7-mcp","--api-key","YOUR_API_KEY"]env = {SystemRoot="C:\\Windows" }startup_timeout_ms =20_000

This ensures Codex CLI works reliably on Windows.

⚠️ MacOS Notes

On MacOS, some users may encounter the same request timed out errors like Windows,it also can be solved tith the full path to Node.js and the installed package:

[mcp_servers.context7]command ="/Users/yourname/.nvm/versions/node/v22.14.0/bin/node"# Node.js full pathargs = ["/Users/yourname/.nvm/versions/node/v22.14.0/lib/node_modules/@upstash/context7-mcp/dist/index.js","--transport","stdio","--api-key","YOUR_API_KEY"]

This ensures Codex CLI works reliably on MacOS.

SeeKiro Model Context Protocol Documentation for details.

1. NavigateKiro >MCP Servers
2. Add a new MCP server by clicking the+ Add button.
3. Paste the configuration given below:

{"mcpServers": {"Context7": {"command":"npx","args": ["-y","@upstash/context7-mcp","--api-key","YOUR_API_KEY"],"env": {},"disabled":false,"autoApprove": []    }  }}

4. ClickSave to apply the changes.

Use the Add manually feature and fill in the JSON configuration information for that MCP server.For more details, visit theTrae documentation.

{"mcpServers": {"context7": {"url":"https://mcp.context7.com/mcp"    }  }}

{"mcpServers": {"context7": {"command":"npx","args": ["-y","@upstash/context7-mcp","--api-key","YOUR_API_KEY"]    }  }}

Use these alternatives to run the local Context7 MCP server with other runtimes. These examples work for any client that supports launching a local MCP server via command + args.

{"mcpServers": {"context7": {"command":"bunx","args": ["-y","@upstash/context7-mcp","--api-key","YOUR_API_KEY"]    }  }}

{"mcpServers": {"context7": {"command":"deno","args": ["run","--allow-env=NO_DEPRECATION,TRACE_DEPRECATION","--allow-net","npm:@upstash/context7-mcp"      ]    }  }}

If you prefer to run the MCP server in a Docker container:

1. Build the Docker Image:

   First, create aDockerfile in the project root (or anywhere you prefer):

   Click to see Dockerfile content

   FROM node:18-alpineWORKDIR /app# Install the latest version globallyRUN npm install -g @upstash/context7-mcp# Expose default port if needed (optional, depends on MCP client interaction)# EXPOSE 3000# Default command to run the serverCMD ["context7-mcp"]

   Then, build the image using a tag (e.g.,context7-mcp).Make sure Docker Desktop (or the Docker daemon) is running. Run the following command in the same directory where you saved theDockerfile:

   docker build -t context7-mcp.

2. Configure Your MCP Client:

   Update your MCP client's configuration to use the Docker command.

   Example for a cline_mcp_settings.json:

   {"mcpServers": {"Сontext7": {"autoApprove": [],"disabled":false,"timeout":60,"command":"docker","args": ["run","-i","--rm","context7-mcp"],"transportType":"stdio"    }  }}

   Note: This is an example configuration. Please refer to the specific examples for your MCP client (like Cursor, VS Code, etc.) earlier in this README to adapt the structure (e.g.,mcpServers vsservers). Also, ensure the image name inargs matches the tag used during thedocker build command.

Install thecontext7.mcpb file under the mcpb folder and add it to your client. For more information, please check outMCP bundles docs.

The configuration on Windows is slightly different compared to Linux or macOS (Cline is used in the example). The same principle applies to other editors; refer to the configuration ofcommand andargs.

{"mcpServers": {"github.com/upstash/context7-mcp": {"command":"cmd","args": ["/c","npx","-y","@upstash/context7-mcp","--api-key","YOUR_API_KEY"],"disabled":false,"autoApprove": []    }  }}

If you encounterERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND, try usingbunx instead ofnpx:

{"mcpServers": {"context7": {"command":"bunx","args": ["-y","@upstash/context7-mcp"]    }  }}

This often resolves module resolution issues in environments wherenpx doesn't properly install or resolve packages.

For errors likeError: Cannot find module 'uriTemplate.js', try the--experimental-vm-modules flag:

{"mcpServers": {"context7": {"command":"npx","args": ["-y","--node-options=--experimental-vm-modules","@upstash/context7-mcp@1.0.6"]    }  }}

Use the--experimental-fetch flag to bypass TLS-related problems:

{"mcpServers": {"context7": {"command":"npx","args": ["-y","--node-options=--experimental-fetch","@upstash/context7-mcp"]    }  }}

1. Try adding@latest to the package name
2. Usebunx as an alternative tonpx
3. Consider usingdeno as another alternative
4. Ensure you're using Node.js v18 or higher for native fetch support
