# context.dev

Connection integration for eve. search, scrape, extract, and monitor live web data.

## Install

Add the connection from eve's registry. This writes the initial definition under `agent/connections/` and installs its authentication dependency when needed:

```bash
eve add connection/context
```

## Quick start

### MCP · User

Create `agent/connections/context.ts`. The connection name is derived from the filename:

```ts
// agent/connections/context.ts
import { connect } from "@vercel/connect/eve";
import { defineMcpClientConnection } from "eve/connections";

export default defineMcpClientConnection({
  url: "https://mcp.context.dev/mcp",
  description: "context.dev: search the live web, scrape and crawl sites, extract structured data, parse files, retrieve brand intelligence, monitor changes, and run batch jobs.",
  auth: connect("context"),
});
```

Connect owns the OAuth flow, and each end-user authorizes in their own browser before their first tool call.

## Configure

### MCP · User

Link your project, create the connector, and pull OIDC locally:

```bash
vercel link
vercel connect create mcp.context.dev --name context
vercel env pull
```

See the [Connections docs](/docs/connections) for principal types, headers, approval, and protocol-specific filters.
