What it does
context7-http is an independent Go server that puts Context7's documentation search behind a streamable HTTP MCP endpoint, so clients can use it by URL without installing anything locally. It offers two tools, one to find a library's identifier and one to search that library's docs. The author runs a public instance at context7.liam.sh/mcp, and anyone can self-host it from release binaries or the ghcr.io container image. The README warns that it calls the older v1 Context7 API, which may be withdrawn, and notes that the v2 API needs keys and has tighter limits. It is not affiliated with Upstash.
