Find an official code example

Replace forum scavenger hunts with a focused example tied to the library and task.

Trigger

Channel Message Received

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.

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

Developers often find snippets that work for a different version or unsupported API.

  • Reduce trial and error
  • Keep examples version aligned
  • Make answers easier to apply

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slackbot and Context7 MCP in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation for example lookup.
  • 3Tell Notis to resolve the library first, then return the smallest current example that answers the question with usage notes.
  • 4Pick the channel message trigger.
  • 5Choose a report destination and test with one implementation question.

Questions about this workflow

Can the example use a specific language?

Yes. Include the language or runtime in the Slack question or prompt.

Can it explain the example?

Ask for a short explanation of each important line and any prerequisites.

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.
