9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Context7 Documentation Lookup?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Context7 Documentation Lookup with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.6/10
Tested: Jul 15, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 45f1a64

Ran the bundled script live end to end: searched 'react' and got 6+ real library IDs with snippet counts, then fetched /vercel/next.js docs on 'server actions' and got current, source-cited official examples (including the 2026-era pattern of auth-checking inside the Server Action) - exactly the sourced, current-docs value the skill promises.

What Context7 Documentation Lookup does

A thin Python wrapper around the Context7 REST API that searches for a library ID and fetches current, version-aware documentation with source URLs. Triggers when the user asks for a library/framework API, official code examples, or migration guidance for npm/PyPI packages (React, Next.js, Prisma, Express, etc.), especially when the answer needs to reflect recent releases rather than training-data recall.
