|---|---|---|---|
| server_host | codex | verify_required | Context7 MCP Server is useful for Codex-style coding workflows that need current library documentation, but the configured MCP transport must be verified. |
| server_host | visual-studio-code | verify_required | Context7 MCP Server can support VS Code coding workflows where the host exposes MCP server configuration. |
Should a coding agent use Context7 MCP Server or Filesystem MCP Server first?
Use Context7 MCP Server first when the task needs current framework documentation. Use Filesystem MCP Server when the task requires repository-local inspection or edits, with stricter review because file access is high risk.
