Please install the `inaturalist` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Canonical MCP server config (HTTP transport):
- url: `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/inaturalist/mcp`

Note: README provides a direct remote MCP endpoint for the Inaturalist server. No auth or additional setup is mentioned for read-only use. The alternative Pipeworx gateway URL is a broader multi-source gateway, not the canonical config for this specific server.

Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.
