Your AI writes code for APIs that no longer exist.
Claude Code and Cursor know Next.js. But they know the version from their training data — which may be 6 months old. Context7 MCP fixes this. The challenge: setting it up correctly takes longer than it should.
Without Context7
You: How do I fetch data in Next.js App Router? Claude: Use getServerSideProps... (That's Pages Router. Deprecated since Next.js 13. App Router uses async Server Components.)
With Context7
You: How do I fetch data in Next.js? use context7 [Context7 fetches current Next.js 15 docs] Claude: In App Router, use async Server Components with fetch() directly — no getServerSideProps. Here's the current pattern...

The minimal config that works everywhere
This goes in ~/.claude/mcp.json (Claude Code) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (Cursor):
// mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"context7": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp"]
}
}
}
{
"mcpServers": {
"context7": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp"]
}
}
}
The template covers every edge case: nvm path issues, pnpm, corporate proxies, NixOS, per-project overrides, and token tuning for large libraries.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is Context7 MCP?
Context7 MCP is an open-source MCP server (Model Context Protocol) built by the Upstash team. It makes AI coding assistants fetch current library documentation in real-time instead of relying on potentially outdated training data. It has 805,000+ weekly downloads on npm — one of the fastest-growing AI developer tools in 2026.
Does this require a paid Upstash account?
No. Context7 MCP is completely free. You run it via npx with no API key required. Upstash offers an optional paid plan for teams that need more throughput, but the free tier covers everything most developers need.
I already have the Context7 README open. What does this template add?
The README gives you the minimal config. This template gives you the 60+ library IDs you'll actually use (so you don't have to look up each one on context7.com), 30+ prompt templates that trigger Context7 effectively, a troubleshooting database for the errors the README doesn't mention, and a CLAUDE.md snippet that auto-activates Context7 in all your projects.
Does it work with Cursor in Chat mode (not Agent)?
MCP tools are only available in Cursor's Agent mode (not Ask/Chat). The template covers this — including how to verify MCP is connected and which mode to use for tool calls.
What format is the download?
You get a Notion template link (duplicate in 1 click), a PDF export of all sections (for offline use), and a CLAUDE.md snippet file you can drop in any project. Everything is included in the Gumroad download.
Will the template be updated when Context7 adds new features?
Yes. Lifetime updates are included. You'll get an email from Gumroad when a significant update is available (new editor support, new library IDs, etc.).
