[Context7](https://context7.com/) provides up-to-date, version-specific documentation context for AI coding assistants. To register a library with Context7, you need to host a `context7.json` file anywhere under the library's base URL. Fern handles this for you through the `integrations` configuration in `docs.yml`.

<Note>
  Requires Fern CLI version `4.52.0` or later. Run `fern upgrade` to update.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get your `context7.json` file">
    Follow [Context7's setup instructions](https://context7.com/) to generate a `context7.json` verification file for your domain.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the file to your Fern project">
    Place the `context7.json` file in your `fern/` directory (or any path relative to `docs.yml`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure `docs.yml`">
    Add the `integrations.context7` property to your `docs.yml` file, pointing to the relative path of your `context7.json` file:

    <CodeBlock title="docs.yml">
      ```yaml
      integrations:
        context7: ./path/to/context7.json
      ```
    </CodeBlock>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish your docs">
    Run `fern generate --docs` to publish. Fern hosts the file at `/context7.json` on your docs site (for example, `https://docs.example.com/context7.json`).
