Use the Context7 MCP server
in VS Code

Up-to-date code docs and examples for thousands of libraries, injected into your AI. This guide connects Context7 to VS Code (GitHub Copilot's agent mode) through a governed gateway — one URL that also works in every other MCP client you use, with your rules and a full log attached.

Setup: Context7 in VS Code

VS Code adds MCP servers via MCP server configuration. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Connect Context7 to your free gate gateway from the verified directory.
  2. On your gate overview, click 'Add to VS Code' — VS Code prompts to add the gateway as an HTTP MCP server.
  3. Confirm and approve the sign-in.
  4. Copilot's agent mode can now use Context7 — logged and governed through your gateway.

What to ask once it’s connected

“Get the current docs for React 19 hooks.”
“Show me working examples for Prisma transactions.”
“What changed in the Next.js App Router APIs?”
“Give me up-to-date Stripe SDK usage examples.”

Why route it through a gateway

One URL, every client

The same Context7 connection works in Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor too — no per-client re-wiring.

Rules before regret

Allow, ask, or block every tool Context7 exposes — reads can flow freely while writes require your approval.

Every call logged

A plain-language activity log of everything VS Code did with Context7 — searchable, exportable, auditable.

Scanned and probed

Context7 passed a live handshake probe and a security scan before listing — and drift detection watches it after you connect.
