The `@upstash/context7-mcp` npm package followed in April 2025; a separate `ctx7` CLI package appeared in January 2026. ### Adoptionsgeschichte Context7 grew with the MCP and AI-editor packaging wave. Official docs and the README document setup paths for MCP clients, CLI-plus-skill workflows, and multiple editor integrations, while package metadata shows distribution through npm and the input package facts record Homebrew and Nix packaging. ### Wie es verwendet wird Users either register `https://mcp.context7.com/mcp` with an MCP client or run `npx ctx7 setup` to install a CLI/skill workflow. The README recommends an API key for higher rate limits but does not document a fixed local credential file for the Homebrew package. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren The formula is notable because it packages an MCP server, not a traditional standalone Unix tool. It reflects a newer class of developer-tool packages whose main job is to bridge local editors and remote documentation indexes. ### Zeitleiste - 2025-03-26: Public Context7 repository created. - 2025-04-08: `@upstash/context7-mcp` npm package created. - 2026-01-21: `ctx7` npm CLI package created. - 2026-06-22: `@upstash/context7-mcp@3.2.2` release published. ### Related projects - The README lists related official packages including `ctx7`, `@upstash/context7-sdk`, and Context7 tools for the Vercel AI SDK. ### Quellen - - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise Für context7-mcp wurde kein passendes lokales Secret-Handling-Manifest gefunden.
