Key facts

As of Nov 11, 2026

Who it's for
Developers whose agents hallucinate or use outdated library APIs.
What does it let an agent do?
Pulls up-to-date, version-specific documentation and code examples for libraries and gives them to your coding agent. You add 'use context7' to a prompt.
Hosted or run locally?
Both: a hosted remote server and an npm package you run locally.
How does it sign in?
The plans page lists OAuth 2.0 access control on the free plan.
What does it cost?
Free is $0 with 1,000 API calls a month. Pro is $10 per seat a month with 2,000 calls per seat, then $5 per 1,000. Enterprise is custom and adds SOC 2, SSO and self-hosting.
Safety and admin controls
Free users are blocked at the monthly limit with 20 bonus calls a day. Private repositories are a paid feature; Enterprise adds SOC 2 and SSO.
How many people use it?
64,624 GitHub stars on Nov 11, 2026 (MIT license). That is interest, not users.
