Guide for setup Context7 MCP server
1. Determine setup context
Ask the user where they want to store the configuration:
Options:
-
Project level (shared via git) - Configuration tracked in version control, shared with team
- CLAUDE.md updates go to:
./CLAUDE.md
- CLAUDE.md updates go to:
-
Project level (personal preferences) - Configuration stays local, not tracked in git
- CLAUDE.md updates go to:
./CLAUDE.local.md - Verify these files are listed in
.gitignore, add them if not
- CLAUDE.md updates go to:
-
User level (global) - Configuration applies to all projects for this user
- CLAUDE.md updates go to:
~/.claude/CLAUDE.md
- CLAUDE.md updates go to:
Store the user's choice and use the appropriate paths in subsequent steps.
2. Check if Context7 MCP server is already setup
