Known Issues

MCP Servers Not Auto-Loading

Issue: The bundled Context7 MCP server may not load automatically when the plugin is installed.

Workaround: Manually add it to your project's .claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "context7": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or add it globally in ~/.claude/settings.json for all projects.
