Documentation Discovery
Mission: Find official library/framework documentation quickly.
Strategy
Step 1: Try context7 First
mcp__context7__resolve-library-id("{library}")
→ Success? → mcp__context7__get-library-docs("{id}", topic="{topic}")
→ Fail? → Step 2
Step 2: Search for Documentation URLs
If context7 fails, run these searches in parallel:
WebSearch: "{library} llms.txt"
WebSearch: "{library} official documentation"
Step 3: Fetch Found URLs
WebFetch the URLs found from Step 2:
- llms.txt links → fetch and parse
- Documentation pages → fetch and extract content
Workflow Summary
1. context7 (fast, curated)
↓ fail
2. WebSearch (parallel):
- "{library} llms.txt"
- "{library} official documentation"
↓ found URLs
3. WebFetch found URLs
↓ content
4. Parse & present to user
Tools
| Step | Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | mcp__context7__resolve-library-id | Get context7 library ID |
| 1 | mcp__context7__get-library-docs | Fetch docs from context7 |
| 2 | WebSearch | Search for llms.txt and docs URLs |
| 3 | WebFetch | Fetch documentation content |
Key Rules
- context7 first - Fastest, already curated
- Search, don't guess - Don't guess URL patterns, search for them
- Parallel search - Run multiple WebSearch queries together
- Topic filtering - Use topic param in context7, filter search results by topic
