Use Ref MCP to search documentation sources and then read the exact returned URL. Use it for documentation-site discovery and page-level reading when the right doc page is not yet known, rather than versioned library-ID lookup.

Ref Skill

Quick start

Goal: search for documentation pages and read the exact page content as markdown.

Core workflow:

  1. mcpRefrefsearchdocumentation
  2. mcpRefrefreadurl

Reference notes: skills/ref-skill/references/ref-skill.md

When to use it

  • You need official docs or API reference pages.
  • You need direct documentation URLs before reading content.
  • You want documentation search rather than generic web search.

Workflow

  1. Search with a query that names the language, framework, or library.
  2. Pick the most relevant result.
  3. Read the exact returned URL with refreadurl.

Guardrails

  • refreadurl should receive the exact URL from search results.
  • Use Ref for documentation, not for general news or opinionated web search.
  • If you need the latest facts outside docs, switch to a real web search tool.
