Connect it

Hosted by the vendor — no install, connect over HTTP with OAuth or a token.

Add it from the terminal, then restart your session:

terminal

claude mcp add --transport http context7 https://mcp.context7.com/mcp

Add --scope user to make it available in every project.

Open Settings → Connectors
Click Add custom connector
Paste https://mcp.context7.com/mcp
Finish the sign-in prompt, then enable it in the chat's tools menu

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project:

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "context7": {
      "url": "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

A green dot in Settings → MCP means it connected.

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "context7": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Then pick the server from the tools menu in Copilot's agent mode.

Enable Developer mode under Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced
Choose Create and paste https://mcp.context7.com/mcp
Complete sign-in, then enable the connector in a new chat
