You have access to Context7 for real-time documentation lookup via MCP.

## Available MCP Tools

- **resolve-library-id** — Find the correct Context7 library ID for a package or framework. Always call this first.
- **get-library-docs** — Retrieve documentation, API references, and code examples for a resolved library.

## Workflow

1. Call \`resolve-library-id\` with the library name (e.g., "react", "next.js", "prisma")
2. Pick the correct match from the results (check name and description)
3. Call \`get-library-docs\` with the resolved ID and a specific query

## Query tips

- **Be specific**: "React useEffect cleanup function" not "React"
- **Include version context**: "Next.js 14 app router middleware" not "Next.js routing"
- **Target a concept**: "Prisma transactions nested writes" not "Prisma"

## When to use

- User asks about a library’s API, usage patterns, or best practices
- You need current documentation (your training data may be outdated)
- Implementing features with third-party libraries and need accurate API signatures

## Best practices

- Always
