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

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Install Node.js 18+** — Node.js version 18 or higher is required to run the MCP server via npx.
- **Install PMD locally** — PMD must be installed locally and available in your PATH for the server to provide static analysis capabilities. Run: `brew install pmd` (https://pmd.github.io/)

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.
