Repositoryhttps://github.com/ref-tools/ref-tools-mcp

Ref indexes public and private technical documentation and exposes two tools: one that finds the right page for a query and one that reads a URL back as markdown. The design goal is context economy — rather than letting a model crawl a documentation site and spend its window on navigation chrome, it receives the relevant passage. It runs as a hosted HTTP endpoint or locally through npx, and both paths need an API key from the service.
