How to Use Context Hub: A Step-by-Step Guide for AI Coding Agents

Mar 20, 2026

Purpose

This post demonstrates how to set up and use Context Hub with your AI coding agent. I’ll cover installation, basic commands, and integration with Claude Code and Cursor.

Environment

Node.js >= 18
npm package manager
AI coding agent (Claude Code or Cursor)

Step 1: Install Context Hub

First, install the CLI globally:

npm install -g @aisuite/chub

Verify the installation:

chub --version

If you see a version number, you’re ready to go.

Step 2: Search for Documentation

The chub search command finds relevant documentation:

# Search for OpenAI docs
chub search openai

# Search for Stripe payment docs
chub search "stripe payments"

I ran a search for OpenAI and got results like:

openai/chat - OpenAI Chat Completions API
openai/embeddings - OpenAI Embeddings API
openai/assistants - OpenAI Assistants API

Each result has an ID (like openai/chat) that you use to fetch the actual documentation.

Step 3: Fetch Documentation

Use chub get with the ID and language flag:

# Fetch Python docs for OpenAI chat
chub get openai/chat --lang py

# Fetch JavaScript docs for Stripe API
chub get stripe/api --lang js

The --lang flag is important. It ensures you get language-specific documentation with the correct syntax and examples.

You can also fetch multiple docs at once:

chub get openai/chat stripe/api --lang js

Or save to a specific file:

chub get anthropic/sdk --lang py -o docs/anthropic.md

Step 4: Integrate with Claude Code

Claude Code can use Context Hub automatically if you install the built-in skill:

# Create skills directory if it doesn't exist
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills

# Copy the skill file
cp $(npm root -g)/@aisuite/chub/skills/get-api-docs/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/get-api-docs.md

After this, Claude Code will automatically fetch documentation when it needs current API info.

Step 5: Integrate with Cursor

For Cursor, copy the skill to your project’s rules:

# Create rules directory if it doesn't exist
mkdir -p .cursor/rules

# Copy the skill file
cp $(npm root -g)/@aisuite/chub/skills/get-api-docs/SKILL.md .cursor/rules/get-api-docs.md

The Agent Workflow

Once integrated, your agent follows this pattern:

┌──────────────┐    ┌──────────────┐    ┌──────────────┐    ┌──────────────┐
│   Search     │ ─→ │    Fetch     │ ─→ │     Use     │ ─→ │   Annotate   │
│ chub search  │    │ chub get     │    │ Read docs   │    │ Save learnings│
└──────────────┘    └──────────────┘    └──────────────┘    └──────────────┘

Search - Agent finds relevant docs
Fetch - Agent gets the documentation
Use - Agent reads and applies the docs
Annotate - Agent saves discoveries for next session

Verify Everything Works

Test your setup:

# Search for OpenAI
chub search openai

# Fetch the chat docs
chub get openai/chat --lang py

If you see documentation output, everything is working.

Common Issues

I ran into a couple issues during setup:

Issue 1: Node version too old

Error: This package requires Node.js >= 18

Solution: Upgrade Node.js to version 18 or higher.

Issue 2: Command not found

command not found: chub

Solution: The npm global bin directory isn’t in your PATH. Add it:

# Add npm global bin to PATH (add to your .bashrc or .zshrc)
export PATH="$(npm bin -g):$PATH"

Summary

In this post, I showed how to install and use Context Hub with AI coding agents. The key point is the simple workflow: install the CLI, search for docs, fetch with the language flag, and integrate the skill with your agent. Setup takes under 2 minutes, and then your agent has access to 600+ curated documentation entries.
