Tools Details

Tool: get-library-docs

Fetches up-to-date documentation for a library. You must call 'resolve-library-id' first to obtain the exact Context7-compatible library ID required to use this tool, UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query.

Tool: resolve-library-id

Resolves a package/product name to a Context7-compatible library ID and returns a list of matching libraries.

You MUST call this function before 'get-library-docs' to obtain a valid Context7-compatible library ID UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query.

Selection Process:

1. Analyze the query to understand what library/package the user is looking for
2. Return the most relevant match based on:

• Name similarity to the query (exact matches prioritized)
• Description relevance to the query's intent
• Documentation coverage (prioritize libraries with higher Code Snippet counts)
• Trust score (consider libraries with scores of 7-10 more authoritative)

Response Format:

• Return the selected library ID in a clearly marked section
• Provide a brief explanation for why this library was chosen
• If multiple good matches exist, acknowledge this but proceed with the most relevant one
• If no good matches exist, clearly state this and suggest query refinements

For ambiguous queries, request clarification before proceeding with a best-guess match.

Why is it safer to run MCP Servers with Docker?⁠
