# Context7 Plugin for Cursor
Context7 solves a common problem with AI coding assistants: outdated training data and hallucinated APIs. Instead of relying on stale knowledge, Context7 fetches current documentation directly from source repositories.
## What's Included
This plugin provides:
- **MCP Server** — Connects Cursor to Context7's documentation service
- **Rules** — An always-on `use-context7` rule that nudges the agent to fetch docs when unsure about library APIs
- **Skills** — A `context7-docs-lookup` skill with detailed instructions on resolving libraries and fetching documentation
- **Agents** — A dedicated `docs-researcher` agent for focused lookups
## Available Tools
### resolve-library-id
Searches for libraries and returns Context7-compatible identifiers.
```
Input: "next.js"
Output: { id: "/vercel/next.js", name: "Next.js", versions: ["v15.1.8", "v14.2.0", ...] }
```
### query-docs
Fetches documentation for a specific library, ranked by relevance to your question.
```
Input: { libraryId: "/vercel/next.js", query: "app router middleware" }
Output: Relevant documentation snippets with code examples
```
## Usage Examples
The plugin works automatically when you ask about libraries:
- "How do I set up authentication in Next.js 15?"
- "Show me React Server Components examples"
- "What's the Prisma syntax for relations?"
Or use the docs-researcher agent when you want to keep your main context clean.
## Version Pinning
To get documentation for a specific version, include the version in the library ID:
```
/vercel/next.js/v15.1.8
/supabase/supabase/v2.45.0
```
The `resolve-library-id` tool returns available versions, so you can pick the one that matches your project.
