Answer API questions raised in issue comments
When a Linear comment asks a concrete library API question, Notis retrieves current Context7 documentation and reports the relevant answer without interrupting the issue thread.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Action
Query-docs
Retrieves and queries up-to-date documentation and code examples from Context7 for any programming library or framework. You must call 'resolve-library-id' first to obtain the exact Context7-compatible library ID required to use this tool, UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query. IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 calls, use the best information you have.
Why this helps
API questions buried in comments require another round of tab switching.
- Turns a specific comment into a current-docs answer
- Avoids responding to unrelated discussion
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Context7 MCP to Notis in the portal once.
- 2Ask Notis to create an automation, or open Automations → New Automation in the portal.
- 3In one plain-language prompt, say: When a new Linear issue comment asks a specific question about a named library API, resolve its Context7 ID unless an exact ID is supplied, query docs for that API behavior, and report the answer with source references; ignore ordinary comments.
- 4Select the Linear trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and create it.
- 5Test with a real comment that names the library and API question.
Questions about this workflow
Will every comment trigger a documentation query?
No. The plain-language instruction filters for comments that actually ask a specific question about a named library API.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Linear to Context7 MCP. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Linear triggers
Context7 MCP actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Query-docs
Retrieves and queries up-to-date documentation and code examples from Context7 for any programming library or framework. You must call 'resolve-library-id' first to obtain the exact Context7-compatible library ID required to use this tool, UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query. IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 calls, use the best information you have.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Resolve-library-id
Resolves a package/product name to a Context7-compatible library ID and returns matching libraries. You MUST call this function before 'query-docs' to obtain a valid Context7-compatible library ID UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query. Selection Process: 1. Analyze the query to understand what library/package the user is looking for 2. Return the most relevant match based on: - Name similarity to the query (exact matches prioritized) - Description relevance to the query's intent - Documentation coverage (prioritize libraries with higher Code Snippet counts) - Source reputation (consider libraries with High or Medium reputation more authoritative) - Benchmark Score: Quality indicator (100 is the highest score) Response Format: - Return the selected library ID in a clearly marked section - Provide a brief explanation for why this library was chosen - If multiple good matches exist, acknowledge this but proceed with the most relevant one - If no good matches exist, clearly state this and suggest query refinements For ambiguous queries, request clarification before proceeding with a best-guess match. IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 calls, use the best result you have.
