Benchmarks vs Context7

Evaluated on 50 Vue DevTools questions scored by an LLM judge (Gemini, temperature 0) across 5 dimensions on a 1-5 scale.

Methodology

Each question has a ground-truth answer with expected API names and documentation paths. Both providers receive the same question and return documentation context. The judge scores the retrieved context on relevance, completeness, correctness, API coverage, and conciseness. See the eval/ directory in the repository for the full evaluation framework.

Notes on Fairness

• Context7 is a general-purpose service covering 9000+ libraries. Vue Docs MCP is purpose-built for the Vue ecosystem.
• Context7 has limited coverage for Vue DevTools (37 code snippets), which significantly affects its scores.
• The evaluation framework is open source in the eval/ directory. Run make eval-compare to reproduce.
