Please install the `ref-tools-ref-tools-mcp` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Ref API Key** — Sign up at ref.tools to get an API key (https://ref.tools)

Canonical MCP server config (HTTP transport):
- url: `https://api.ref.tools/mcp`
- headers:
  - `x-ref-api-key`: `<your-api-key>`

Note: Same repo as ref-tools-mcp and ref-tools-mcp-reftools. Documentation search and retrieval for AI coding agents. 2 tools: ref_search_documentation, ref_read_url. Preferred transport is streamable HTTP.

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.
