Merged
Conversation
…eping - Connect to https://mcp.context7.com/mcp via McpHttpServerDefinition instead of bundling and spawning @upstash/context7-mcp over stdio, so the server is always current (the pinned 1.0.14 was two majors stale) - Add context7.apiKey setting, sent as CONTEXT7_API_KEY header; changes apply without window reload (fixes #2) - Register provider as upstash/context7 to match package.json and the MCP registry id from #3 - Add MIT license text to the empty LICENSE file (fixes #5) - Replace proposed-API vscode.d.ts/@vscode/dts with stable @types/vscode - Add .gitignore, .vscodeignore, CHANGELOG, CI + tag-triggered publish workflows, issue templates; rewrite README and DEPLOYMENT for v1.1.0 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
