❌ Without Context7

LLMs rely on outdated or generic information about the libraries you use. You get:

❌ Code examples are outdated and based on year-old training data
❌ Hallucinated APIs that don't even exist
❌ Generic answers for old package versions

✅ With Context7

Context7 MCP pulls up-to-date, version-specific documentation and code examples straight from the source — and places them directly into your prompt.

Add use context7 to your prompt (or [set up a rule](#add-a-rule) to auto-invoke):

```txt

Create a Next.js middleware that checks for a valid JWT in cookies

and redirects unauthenticated users to /login. use context7

```

```txt

Configure a Cloudflare Worker script to cache

JSON API responses for five minutes. use context7

```

Context7 fetches up-to-date code examples and documentation right into your LLM's context. No tab-switching, no hallucinated APIs that don't exist, no outdated code generation.
