Description
Context7 MCP - Intelligent documentation search and context for any library
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable sending documentation search terms and questions to Context7. Use a dedicated Context7 API key, keep any .env file out of source control and logs, rotate the key if exposed, and avoid including credentials, private URLs, customer data, or proprietary code in queries.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: context7
Version: 1.0.3
The skill is designed to query the Context7 API for documentation, which aligns with its stated purpose. The `query.ts` script reads an API key from environment variables or a local `.env` file and uses it to authenticate requests to `https://context7.com` endpoints. There is no evidence of data exfiltration to unauthorized destinations, malicious code execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts in `SKILL.md`. While the `package-lock.json` reveals dependencies like `cross-spawn` and web server frameworks (`express`, `hono`) within the `mcp-client` SDK, these are not directly utilized in a harmful way by the provided `query.ts` script, nor are there instructions for the agent to misuse them. The overall behavior is consistent with a legitimate API client.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose, instructions, and code align: it searches Context7 libraries and fetches documentation context, then prints results locally.
Instruction Scope
The skill tells users to send library names and free-form questions to Context7 for ranking and context; this is purpose-aligned but users should avoid putting secrets or confidential project details in queries.
Install Mechanism
Installation is user-directed with npm dependencies and a local TypeScript CLI. The instructions reference .env.example, but that file is not included; this is a setup/documentation issue, not evidence of hidden behavior.
Credentials
The CLI reads CONTEXT7_API_KEY from the environment or a local .env file and sends it only as a Bearer token to context7.com API endpoints, which is proportionate for the service.
Persistence & Privilege
No background service, autostart, destructive action, broad local indexing, or account mutation is present. The only persistence is the user-created .env credential file.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install context7 - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/context7 - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
