TIL - Context7 MCP
The “knowledge” embedded in LLMs includes only events or information made public up to their training cutoff date (see https://github.com/HaoooWang/llm-knowledge-cutoff-dates).
This means that any releases of libraries or updates published after that date are not included in the LLM’s inherent knowledge.
The Context7 MCP (https://context7.com/) addresses this limitation by providing real-time access to always up-to-date, version-specific documentation and code examples.
