If you have 2 libraries, that's 20k tokens etc. It's unlikely you need all of that and it's costly. Ref uses on average 60% fewer tokens and up to 95% fewer (eg 500 tokens instead of 10000) in some cases.\n- Ref supports indexing private GitHub repos and PDFs so you can bring your own context as well.\n\nWant to chat or have a feature request?\n- Reach out to hello@ref.tools and say hi!","capabilities":[],"protocols":["MCP"],"safetyScore":86,"overallRank":24.7,"trustScore":null,"trust":null,"source":"SMITHERY","updatedAt":"2026-04-16T06:45:18.122Z"}
