01 — TL;DR
If you need trigger clarity above all else, pick context7-mcp (4.3/5). interview-me (4.1/5) is a reasonable alternative if you're already in its source ecosystem. They overlap in methodology skill territory.

Which to pick
When to choose context7-mcp
- Your workload emphasizes trigger clarity — context7-mcp scores 5.0 vs 4.5 here.
- The methodology skill convention you're working in matches context7-mcp's scope.
When to choose interview-me
- The methodology skill convention you're working in matches interview-me's scope.
Scenario by scenario
| Scenario | Winner | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Agent must auto-select between many methodology skills | context7-mcp | Trigger clarity decides — clearer triggers reduce routing errors. |
| Output must be a specific file format or structured data | either | Output specificity determines whether downstream tools can rely on the result. |
| Skill must be readable and complete out of the box | either | Self-containment matters when you're not the original author. |
| Cross-team or cross-project reuse expected | either | Reusability separates one-off scripts from durable building blocks. |
Common questions
- Which is better, context7-mcp or interview-me?
- context7-mcp ranks higher overall (4.3 vs 4.1 on our 0–5 rubric). That said, the better choice depends on which dimensions matter most for your use case.
- Are context7-mcp and interview-me both free to use?
- Both skills are free and open-source (or freely licensed). context7-mcp: See source repo. interview-me: See source repo. Installation has no cost; usage costs depend on the underlying LLM tokens consumed when you invoke the skill.
- Can I install both context7-mcp and interview-me at the same time?
- Yes. Agent skills are not exclusive — an agent runtime (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) can have many skills installed and route to whichever matches the current task. Installing both is a low-cost way to keep your options open.
- Where do these skills come from?
- context7-mcp is sourced from skillsmp.com (curated marketplace). interview-me is sourced from skillsmp.com (curated marketplace). We verify each skill across multiple sources where possible; context7-mcp appears in 1 source, interview-me in 1.
