Notes to Eric:

• Focus on the Jar running (and yes, java 25, but come on folks!), not the docker until we get that deployed porperly.
• Move all the stuff below the STDIO versu HTTP into the github.com/apache/solr-mcp repo to live. Keep the tutorial as a short tutorial! No reference in the tutorial.

In looking at the outline, let's keep sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 in the Ref Guide. Let's move 7, 8 into the solr-mcp project dev docs. I think 9 can stay in the Ref Guide, it may be too opinonated on one solution, but lets see. 10 should be in Dev Docs. 11 should just be merged into solr-mcp/CONTRIBUTING.md file. 12 should be in Dev Docs.

Closing in favor of the website documentation at solr.apache.org/mcp. The content from this tutorial has been restructured into dedicated pages on the Solr MCP Server website (apache/solr-site#175): quick start, per-client setup guides, security, observability, features, and resources.
