Add x-api-key header to Context7 MCP config using CONTEXT7_API_KEY env
var with empty default so it remains optional. Without auth, all requests
hit the anonymous rate limit ("Monthly quota exceeded"). Also update
README to document the API key setup and the Known Issues workaround.
Closes EveryInc#153

Summary
x-api-keyheader to Context7 MCP server config in.mcp.json, reading fromCONTEXT7_API_KEYenv var with an empty default (${CONTEXT7_API_KEY:-}) so it remains optionalCloses #153
Details
Without authentication, all Context7 MCP requests go unauthenticated and immediately hit the anonymous rate limit ("Monthly quota exceeded"). Claude Code supports
${VAR:-default}environment variable interpolation in.mcp.jsonheaders, so users just need to setCONTEXT7_API_KEYin their environment to authenticate.The empty default (
:-) means the config still parses correctly for users who haven't set the key yet - they'll just continue to use anonymous access.Test plan
.mcp.jsonis valid JSON after the change${CONTEXT7_API_KEY:-}when the env var is setCo-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 noreply@anthropic.com
