What it does

Context7 MCP Skill is an agent skill from holon-run/uxc. Query up-to-date library documentation and code examples using Context7 MCP. Use when you need current, version-specific documentation for npm packages, Python libraries, or other programming languages.

Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/usage-patterns.md` and `scripts/validate.sh`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol, npm, Python and React. The repository describes itself as: A unified CLI for discovering and invoking tools across OpenAPI, MCP, GraphQL, gRPC, and JSON-RPC. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

You need current
Version-specific documentation for npm packages
Python libraries
Other programming languages

Example prompts

“/context7-mcp-skill”

Requirements

Python 3
Node.js
A Bash shell

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Use fixed link command by default
Resolve a library name to get library ID
Query documentation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 562d47c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- mcp.context7.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Context7 MCP Skill loads about 564 tokens when it runs, and up to ~945 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 176 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~564
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~945

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

The full file from holon-run/uxc at commit 562d47c, republished under its MIT licence (© holon-run). 176 words, ~564 tokens.

metadata.short-description: Query library docs via Context7 MCP

Context7 Skill

Use this skill to query library documentation and code examples.

Prerequisites

uxc skill is installed (see uxc skill for installation)
Network access to https://mcp.context7.com/mcp

Core Workflow

Use fixed link command by default:
- command -v context7-mcp-cli
- If missing, create it: uxc link context7-mcp-cli mcp.context7.com/mcp
- context7-mcp-cli -h
- If command conflict is detected and cannot be safely reused, stop and ask skill maintainers to pick a different fixed command name.
Resolve a library name to get library ID:
- context7-mcp-cli resolve-library-id libraryName=react query='useState hook'
Query documentation:
- context7-mcp-cli query-docs libraryId=/reactjs/react.dev query='how to use useState'

Available Tools

resolve-library-id: Resolve a package/library name to Context7 library ID
query-docs: Query documentation and code examples for a specific library

Usage Examples

Find React documentation

bash

# First resolve the library
context7-mcp-cli resolve-library-id libraryName=react query='React useState hook'

Query specific documentation

bash

context7-mcp-cli query-docs '{"libraryId":"/reactjs/react.dev","query":"how to use useEffect"}'

Query Node.js documentation

bash

context7-mcp-cli resolve-library-id libraryName=node query='file system'

Notes

Requires library name first, then use the returned libraryId for queries
Context7 provides version-specific, up-to-date documentation
Supports npm packages, Python libraries, and more
context7-mcp-cli <operation> ... is equivalent to uxc mcp.context7.com/mcp <operation> ....
If link setup is temporarily unavailable, use direct uxc mcp.context7.com/mcp ... calls as fallback.

Reference Files

Workflow details: references/usage-patterns.md
