# Guide for setup Context7 MCP server

## 1. Determine setup context

Ask the user where they want to store the configuration:

**Options:**

1. **Project level (shared via git)** - Configuration tracked in version control, shared with team
   - CLAUDE.md updates go to: `./CLAUDE.md`

2. **Project level (personal preferences)** - Configuration stays local, not tracked in git
   - CLAUDE.md updates go to: `./CLAUDE.local.md`
   - Verify these files are listed in `.gitignore`, add them if not

3. **User level (global)** - Configuration applies to all projects for this user
   - CLAUDE.md updates go to: `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`

Store the user's choice and use the appropriate paths in subsequent steps.
