    description: >-
      Teamspaces the caller is a member of. The management API
      (`/v2/teamspaces/*`) accepts a Context7 API key, which reaches only its
      own teamspace and can make changes or read personal data only when it was
      created with write access (other keys can only read and get 403
      `write_access_required` on writes and on personal data), or an OAuth token
      issued for the Context7 Admin MCP server
      (`https://admin.mcp.context7.com/mcp`), which reaches every teamspace of
      the user. A browser session is not accepted.
  - name: Teamspace Admin
    description: >-
      Members, invitations, rules, library policies and requests, usage and the
      spending limit of a teamspace. Every API key can read rules, policies,
      usage and the spending limit. Changes, and reading members, invitations,
      the invite link and library requests (they name people), need an API key
      created with **Write access** ticked (other keys get 403
      `write_access_required`), or the Context7 Admin MCP sign-in.
  - name: Teamspace Libraries
    description: >-
      A teamspace's libraries: its private sources and the libraries it has
      claimed. Add, refresh, configure, version, claim and remove them, and read
      their parse state and usage. A library id `/owner/repo` is two path
      segments. Every API key can read. Changes need an API key created with
      **Write access** ticked (other keys get 403 `write_access_required`), or
      the Context7 Admin MCP sign-in.
  - name: Docs7 Sites
    description: >-
      Docs7 documentation sites of a teamspace: settings, custom domains,
      deployments, previews and the Docs7 agents. Any member can read; owners
      and admins can change; developers can add a site, publish one added for
      the agents only, and rebuild. Sites deployed with the `docs7 deploy` CLI
      have `source: "local"`; operations marked GitHub-only answer 404 for them.
      Every API key can read, except feature requests and the GitHub account
      behind a build (personal data). Changes, and those reads, need an API key
      created with **Write access** ticked (other keys get 403
      `write_access_required`), or the Context7 Admin MCP sign-in.
  - name: Docs7 Analytics
    description: >-
      Traffic of one Docs7 site: visitors, AI crawlers, searches, assistant
      questions and page feedback. Docs7 Free reads the last 7 days, Docs7 Pro
      the last 90. Every API key can read the visitor, crawler and path reports.
      Searches, questions, conversations, feedback and the raw records
      (`explore`) are personal data and need an API key created with **Write
      access** ticked, or the Context7 Admin MCP sign-in.
  - name: Ask Sites
    description: >-
      Manage a teamspace's Context7 Ask sites: add, verify, remove, and read
      their analytics and question log. Every API key can read the sites.
      Changes, and reading the analytics and question log (visitor questions),
      need an API key created with **Write access** ticked (other keys get 403
      `write_access_required`), or the Context7 Admin MCP sign-in.
