## What context7 does, in the publisher's words

Fetch up-to-date library documentation via Context7 REST API. Lightweight alternative to Context7 MCP with no persistent context overhead.

- No MCP Overhead: Uses REST API directly, no tool schemas consuming context
- Current Documentation: Fetches live docs from Context7's curated database
- Topic Filtering: Focus on specific areas (hooks, routing, middleware, etc.)
- 50+ Libraries: React, Next.js, Vue, Express, Prisma, and more

Fetches the same current docs directly via the Context7 REST API as a fallback.…
