c7

You can fetch up-to-date library documentation by running a Bash CLI script that queries Context7 and saves the API references and code examples to a local cache in /tmp/context7 for quick access during development.

You need curl and jq installed in your environment to execute the Bash CLI script that fetches library docs. These dependencies handle the HTTP requests and process the JSON data returned from the Context7 documentation service.

You can list cached library documentation by running the CLI script with the --list option. This displays previously fetched docs stored in the local cache, preventing redundant network requests to Context7 for existing API references.

You should force a re-fetch of library documentation when you require updated API references or are troubleshooting. Running the CLI with the --force option bypasses the local cache and retrieves fresh SDK docs directly from Context7.

You do not need an active internet connection to access cached SDK docs after the initial fetch. The CLI script saves the retrieved library documentation locally to /tmp/context7, allowing offline access to previously downloaded API references and code examples.

Yes, you can use the CLI tool to fetch documentation for any library supported by Context7 across development tasks. It accepts a library name and a specific query string to retrieve targeted API references, code examples, or SDK docs on demand.
