Chapter 6: Library Onboarding and Documentation Quality

Welcome to Chapter 6: Library Onboarding and Documentation Quality. In this part of Context7 Tutorial: Live Documentation Context for Coding Agents, you will build an intuitive mental model first, then move into concrete implementation details and practical production tradeoffs.

This chapter explains how library maintainers can improve Context7 output quality.

Learning Goals

  • submit libraries quickly through Context7 workflow
  • use context7.json for advanced parsing control
  • tune include/exclude rules for cleaner context
  • manage versioned documentation availability

Quality Controls

Config Area Why It Matters
include/exclude folders removes noisy or outdated content
rules section communicates best practices to coding agents
previous versions enables historical compatibility queries

Source References

Summary

You now can improve Context7 retrieval quality from the library-owner side.

server.json

The server module in server.json handles a key part of this chapter's functionality:

{
  "$schema": "https://static.modelcontextprotocol.io/schemas/2025-12-11/server.schema.json",
  "name": "io.github.upstash/context7",
  "title": "Context7",
  "description": "Up-to-date code docs for any prompt",
  "repository": {
    "url": "https://github.com/upstash/context7",
    "source": "github"
  },
  "websiteUrl": "https://context7.com",

eslint.config.js

The eslint.config module in eslint.config.js handles a key part of this chapter's functionality:

import tseslint from "typescript-eslint";
import eslintPluginPrettier from "eslint-plugin-prettier";

export default tseslint.config({
  // Base ESLint configuration
  ignores: ["node_modules/**", "build/**", "dist/**", ".git/**", ".github/**"],
  languageOptions: {
    ecmaVersion: 2020,
    sourceType: "module",
    parser: tseslint.parser,
    parserOptions: {},
    globals: {
      // Add Node.js globals
      process: "readonly",
      require: "readonly",
      module: "writable",
      console: "readonly",
    },
  },
  // Settings for all files
  linterOptions: {
    reportUnusedDisableDirectives: true,
  },
  // Apply ESLint recommended rules
  extends: [tseslint.configs.recommended],
  plugins: {
    prettier: eslintPluginPrettier,
  },
  rules: {
    // TypeScript rules
    "@typescript-eslint/explicit-module-boundary-types": "off",
    "@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars": ["error", { argsIgnorePattern: "^_" }],
    "@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any": "warn",
    // Prettier integration
    "prettier/prettier": "error",
