Is it free?: Context7 is open source under the MIT license and free to run. Check the source docs for whether the service it connects to needs an account.
What do I need first?: Node.js 18 or newer (which provides npx).

Fully quit and relaunch your agent app after editing the config. Closing the window is not always enough for desktop apps.
Check the JSON is valid: one trailing comma breaks the whole file. Our MCP Config Validator checks it in your browser.
If the log says "npx: command not found", the runtime above is missing or the app cannot see your PATH. Install it, then relaunch the app.
