OpenCode

Context7 integrates with OpenCode to provide current library documentation instead of relying on training data. Get accurate, up-to-date code examples directly in your coding sessions.

Installation#

Run the setup command to configure Context7 for OpenCode:

npx ctx7 setup --opencode

Authenticates via OAuth, generates an API key, and installs the appropriate skill. You can choose between CLI or MCP mode.

You can also install Context7 as an OpenCode plugin. It bundles the MCP server with a skill:

opencode plugin @upstash/context7-opencode

Restart OpenCode after installing, then authenticate the plugin:

opencode mcp auth context7

Complete the OAuth flow in your browser to use your account's rate limits. If you skip this command, the browser opens automatically on the first lookup.

For manual MCP installation or other configuration options, see All MCP Clients.

Plugin#

Install the plugin from your project directory:

opencode plugin @upstash/context7-opencode

The plugin is an alternative to ctx7 setup that configures OpenCode in one command. It adds two things:

You can also add the plugin to your config by hand:

{  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",  "plugin": ["@upstash/context7-opencode"]}

API Key#

The plugin uses OAuth by default and needs no configuration. To use an API key instead, for example on a headless machine, export it before launching OpenCode:

export CONTEXT7_API_KEY="your-api-key"

The plugin picks up CONTEXT7_API_KEY automatically and sends it as an Authorization header. You can also pass it through the plugin options:

{  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",  "plugin": [["@upstash/context7-opencode", { "apiKey": "your-api-key" }]]}

Create or manage API keys in the Context7 dashboard.

Everything the plugin adds is additive, and your own configuration always wins. If your opencode.json already defines an MCP server named context7, the plugin leaves it alone. It is also safe to run both ctx7 setup and the plugin, since OpenCode loads the context7-mcp skill once.

Using Context7#

With ctx7 setup or the plugin, a skill is installed that triggers automatically when you ask about libraries. You can also invoke it explicitly:

use context7 to show me how to set up middleware in Next.js 15use context7 for Prisma query examples with relationsuse context7 for the Supabase syntax for row-level security

If you know the library ID, use it directly to skip resolution:

use context7 with /supabase/supabase for authentication docsuse context7 with /vercel/next.js for app router setup

You can also add instructions to your AGENTS.md file:

When you need to search docs, use Context7.
