resolve-library-id

Resolves package names to Context7-compatible library IDs for accurate documentation retrieval. Use before querying docs to ensure correct library identification and matching results.

Instructions

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

You MUST call this function before 'query-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)

  • Source reputation (consider libraries with High or Medium reputation more authoritative)

  • Benchmark Score: Quality indicator (100 is the highest score)

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.

IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 calls, use the best result you have.
