One-time command to configure Context7 for your AI coding agent. Prompts for mode on first run:
find-docs skill that guides the agent to use ctx7 CLI commands (no MCP required)ctx7 setup # Interactive — prompts for mode, then agent/install target
ctx7 setup --mcp # Skip prompt, use MCP server mode
ctx7 setup --cli # Skip prompt, use CLI + Skills mode
# MCP mode — target a specific agent
ctx7 setup --claude # Claude Code only
ctx7 setup --cursor # Cursor only
ctx7 setup --opencode # OpenCode only
# CLI + Skills mode — target a specific install location
ctx7 setup --cli --claude # Claude Code (~/.claude/skills)
ctx7 setup --cli --cursor # Cursor (~/.cursor/skills)
ctx7 setup --cli --universal # Universal (~/.agents/skills)
ctx7 setup --cli --antigravity # Antigravity (~/.config/agent/skills)
ctx7 setup --project # Configure current project instead of globally
ctx7 setup --yes # Skip confirmation promptsAuthentication options:
ctx7 setup --api-key YOUR_KEY # Use an existing API key (both MCP and CLI + Skills mode)
ctx7 setup --oauth # OAuth endpoint — MCP mode only (IDE handles the auth flow)Without --api-key or --oauth, setup opens a browser for OAuth login. The device flow returns an API key that setup uses for authentication. --oauth is MCP-only.
What gets written — MCP mode:
.mcp.json for Claude, .cursor/mcp.json for Cursor, .opencode.json for OpenCode)context7-mcp skill in the agent’s skills directoryWhat gets written — CLI + Skills mode:
find-docs skill in the chosen agent’s skills directory, guiding the agent to use ctx7 library and ctx7 docs commands
