Cannot use `get-library-docs` in Github Copilot (VSCode)

[daffaalex22]

I prompted Github Copilot this way. # is the way they reference tools (MCP) on Copilot

#get-library-docs #resolve-library-id Can you tell me what Expo is?

While the Copilot returns an answer, I don't think that Context7 is used here as the get-library-docs returns:

Documentation not found or not finalized for this library. This might have happened because you used an invalid Context7-compatible library ID. To get a valid Context7-compatible library ID, use the 'resolve-library-id' with the package name you wish to retrieve documentation for.

This is my settings.json:

//...

  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "Context7": {
        "type": "stdio",
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp@latest"]
      }
    }
  },
//...

How can I solve this so I can use Context7 on VsCode using Github Copilot?

Have you tried the troubleshooting section in the readme?

Let us know if you can't solve the issue

Same. I get this for every library via streamable HTTP MCP using Claude Code.

Added with

claude mcp add --transport http context7 https://mcp.context7.com/mcp

What is it that you are seeing? Could you try at an earlier time of the hour, some errors might be happening due to the rate limits?

I have also faced the same issue multiple times. In cursor, by disabling and enabling it back did the trick.
