TypingMind MCP + Context7

This guide will help you set up the Context7 MCP server, enabling your AI assistant in TypingMind to fetch and inject the most up-to-date documentation and code examples for major libraries into your LLM prompt context.

Why uses Context7?

Most large language models (LLMs) are trained on publicly available code, documentation, and web content — but that training data is often months or years out of date. Worse, it's generic by nature: the model might "know" about React Query or TailwindCSS, but it doesn't know which version you're using, or whether the APIs it remembers are still valid.

The result?

❌ Code examples that rely on deprecated patterns

❌ Hallucinated APIs that never existed

❌ Answers that sound plausible but only apply to old versions of libraries

With Context7, that changes.

Context7 is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that pulls real-time documentation and usage examples directly from official sources — and injects them into your prompt. You get grounded answers, tailored to the actual version of the tools you're using.

Step-by-step to install Context7 on TypingMind

Step 1: Set up MCP Connectors

In TypingMind, go to Settings → Advanced Settings → Model Context Protocol to start setup your MCP connector. The MCP Connector acts as the bridge between TypingMind and the MCP servers.

MCP servers require a server to run on. TypingMind allows you to connect to the MCP servers via:

Your own local device

Or a private remote server.

If you choose to run the MCP servers on your device, run the command displayed on the screen.

Detail setup can be found at https://docs.typingmind.com/model-context-protocol-in-typingmind

Step 2: Add the Context7 MCP Server

Click on Edit Servers to add MCP server

Add the following JSON to configure the Context7 MCP server:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "context7": {
      "url": "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Enable context7 via Plugin section

After the MCP servers are added successfully, it will show up in your Plugins page to be used like plugin. You can use the MCP tools directly or assign them to AI agent like other plugins.

Go to the Plugins section in TypingMind.

You should see a new plugin called "context7".

Enable the plugin

Step 4: Start chatting

You’re all set!
