Adds Context7 MCP server specifically designed for Docker MCP Toolkit compatibility with Claude Code. This STDIO-based implementation provides stable, reliable access to Context7 library documentation where SSE-based alternatives experienced connection issues. Why this alternative: - Original Context7 SSE transport had connectivity issues with Docker MCP Toolkit - STDIO transport provides more reliable, synchronous communication - Better compatibility with Claude Code's MCP client implementation - Simpler configuration without complex networking requirements Features: - Documentation access for 600+ popular libraries and frameworks - Resolve library names to Context7-compatible IDs - Fetch focused documentation with optional topic filtering - Token-based API access with customizable limits Tools: - resolve-library-id: Find exact library identifiers - get-library-docs: Fetch comprehensive documentation Docker Image: dolasoft/stdio-context7-mcp GitHub: https://github.com/dolasoft/stdio_context7_mcp Category: documentation Tags: documentation, context7, api, library-docs
The API key is optional - server works without it using public access with lower rate limits. Updated description to clarify this.

Summary
Adds Context7 MCP server specifically designed for Docker MCP Toolkit compatibility with Claude Code. This STDIO-based implementation provides stable, reliable access to Context7 library documentation.
Why this alternative
The original Context7 MCP server uses SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport, which experienced connectivity issues when used with Docker MCP Toolkit and Claude Code. This STDIO-based implementation:
Features
Tools
resolve-library-id: Find exact library identifiers
get-library-docs: Fetch comprehensive documentation
Testing
Configuration
Optional: Set
CONTEXT7_API_KEYenvironment variable for higher rate limits (get from https://context7.com)The server works without an API key using public access with lower rate limits. An API key is recommended for production use.
