Factory AI - Context7 MCP

Factory AI is a coding agent platform that uses "Droids" to handle development tasks. By connecting Context7 as an MCP server, Factory Droids can access up-to-date library documentation during coding tasks.

For more details on how Factory AI handles MCP, see the Factory AI MCP documentation.

Setup#

There are multiple ways to add Context7 as an MCP server in Factory AI. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your API key from the Context7 dashboard.

Using the CLI#

droid mcp add context7 https://mcp.context7.com/mcp --type http --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Using the MCP Manager#

Run the /mcp command inside Factory and add Context7 from the interface.

Using a Configuration File#

Add Context7 directly to your .factory/mcp.json (project-level) or ~/.factory/mcp.json (user-level):

{  "mcpServers": {    "context7": {      "type": "http",      "url": "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp",      "headers": {        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"      }    }  }}

How It Works#

Once connected, Factory Droids will query Context7 for relevant library documentation during coding tasks. This helps Droids:

Use correct API signatures and patterns from the latest documentation
Avoid deprecated methods or outdated usage patterns
Generate implementations aligned with library best practices
Produce higher-quality code with fewer revision cycles
