Paste into the AI you're chatting with — it will figure out the rest

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

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Install ripgrep** — Required for the `search` and `count` tools. (https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep},{)

Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `npx`
- args: ["-y","@paretools/search"]

Note: This MCP server is distributed as the npm package `@paretools/search` and runs over stdio via `npx`. It wraps local `rg` and `fd` binaries, so those must be installed on the system for the corresponding tools to work.

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.
