Use when tasks require current, source-backed technical information from MCP tools. Apply for library/API questions, dependency version checks, third-party integration work, framework- or SDK-specific debugging, and any case where stale model knowledge could cause incorrect guidance.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# MCP Docs and Research (Context7, Exa, Jina) ## Overview Use MCP-provided tools to retrieve current, verifiable information instead of relying on memory for fast-changing libraries, APIs, and ecosystem guidance. ## When to Use - Working with any external library or framework (for example, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, pandas, boto3, or requests). - Installing or upgrading dependencies and verifying current versions or migration guidance. - Implementing features tied to third-party SDKs or APIs. - Debugging behavior that may be version-specific. - Looking up current best practices, changelogs, or breaking changes. ## Invocation Notice - Tell the user when this skill is running: `mcp-research`. Skip the notice when the user asked for the skill by name or slash command; spelling and spacing need not match. A phrase from this skill's own trigger list is not a name — naming the work is not naming the skill. ## Tool Selection Inventory the docs and research tools present at runtime and match on capability, not on an exact tool name. …

How to install
mdr add ahgraber/skills/mcp-research@sha256:e9402db49a019bebThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260820.5337090, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
