+### Using Docker
+
+If you prefer to run the MCP server in a Docker container:
+
+1.  **Build the Docker Image:**
+
+    First, create a `Dockerfile` in the project root (or anywhere you prefer):
+
+    <details>
+    <summary>Click to see Dockerfile content</summary>
+
+    ```Dockerfile
+    FROM node:18-alpine
+
+    WORKDIR /app
+
+    # Install the latest version globally
+    RUN npm install -g @upstash/context7-mcp@latest
+
+    # Expose default port if needed (optional, depends on MCP client interaction)
+    # EXPOSE 3000
+
+    # Default command to run the server
+    CMD ["context7-mcp"]
+    ```
+
+    </details>
+
+    Then, build the image using a tag (e.g., `context7-mcp`). **Make sure Docker Desktop (or the Docker daemon) is running.** Run the following command in the same directory where you saved the `Dockerfile`:
+
+    ```bash
+    docker build -t context7-mcp .
+    ```
+
+2. **Configure Your MCP Client:**
+
+    Update your MCP client's configuration to use the Docker command.
+
+    *Example for a cline_mcp_settings.json:*
+
+    ```json
+    {
+      "mcpServers": {
+        "Сontext7": {
+        "autoApprove": [],
+        "disabled": false,
+        "timeout": 60,
+          "command": "docker",
+          "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "context7-mcp"],
+          "transportType": "stdio"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+    ```
+
+    *Note: This is an example configuration. Please refer to the specific examples for your MCP client (like Cursor, VS Code, etc.) earlier in this README to adapt the structure (e.g., `mcpServers` vs `servers`). Also, ensure the image name in `args` matches the tag used during the `docker build` command.*
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+- `DEFAULT_MINIMUM_TOKENS`: Set the minimum token count for documentation retrieval (default: 10000).
+
+Examples:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "context7": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp@latest"],
+      "env": {
+        "DEFAULT_MINIMUM_TOKENS": "10000"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
 ### Available Tools
 
 - `resolve-library-id`: Resolves a general library name into a Context7-compatible library ID.
-  - `libraryName` (optional): Search and rerank results
+  - `libraryName` (required)
 - `get-library-docs`: Fetches documentation for a library using a Context7-compatible library ID.
   - `context7CompatibleLibraryID` (required)
   - `topic` (optional): Focus the docs on a specific topic (e.g., "routing", "hooks")
-  - `tokens` (optional, default 5000): Max number of tokens to return
+  - `tokens` (optional, default 10000): Max number of tokens to return. Values less than the configured `DEFAULT_MINIMUM_TOKENS` value or the default value of 10000 are automatically increased to that value.
 
 ## Development
 
@@ -214,6 +311,54 @@ If you see this error, try using `bunx` instead of `npx`.
 
 This often resolves module resolution issues, especially in environments where `npx` does not properly install or resolve packages.
 
+### ESM Resolution Issues
+
+If you encounter an error like: `Error: Cannot find module 'uriTemplate.js'` try running with the `--experimental-vm-modules` flag:

+### MCP Client Errors
+
+1. Try removing `@latest` from the package name.
+
+2. Try using `bunx` as an alternative.
+
+3. Try using `deno` as an alternative.
+
+4. Make sure you are using Node v18 or higher to have native fetch support with `npx`.
