Where Context7 fits in the workflow
- 3Add MCP servers for what rules cannot supply
A rule can tell the agent to check the current docs before writing code. Whether it can actually do that is a separate question, and the answer is MCP. This is the split worth internalising: rules are instructions, servers are capabilities, and an instruction to do something impossible just gets ignored.
