I recommend the context7 MCP tool for this exact purpose. I've been trying to really push agents lately at work to see where they fall down and whether better context can fix it.

As a test recently I instructed an agent using Claude to create a new MCP server in Elixir based on some code I provided that was written in Python. I know that, relatively speaking, Python is over-represented in training data and Elixir is under-represented. So, when I asked the agent to begin by creating its plan, I told it to reference current Elixir/Phoenix/etc documentation using context7 and to search the web using Kagi Search MCP for best practices on implementing MCP servers in Elixir.

It was very interesting to watch how the initially generated plan evolved after using these tools and how after using the tools the model identified an SDK I wasn't even aware of that perfectly fit the purpose (Hermes-mcp).
