Where Context7 fits in the workflow

MCP servers, so it stops guessing
MCP servers give the agent access to things outside your codebase. Scope decides who gets them: --scope local is the default and applies only to you in this project, --scope user follows you into every project, and --scope project writes .mcp.json at the repo root so your team inherits it on clone. For stdio servers the -- separator is mandatory, otherwise the flags are read as arguments to the server.
Prompt · Add the three worth having
```
# Live docs, everywhere you work
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user context7 https://mcp.context7.com/mcp

# Your database, shared with the team via .mcp.json
claude mcp add --transport http --scope project supabase https://mcp.supabase.com/mcp?project_ref={{your_ref}}

# A stdio server: note the -- before the command
claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope user airtable -- npx -y airtable-mcp-server

claude mcp list
