What is the Toon MCP Server?

MCP server that reduces LLM context by removing code comments and converting data formats to TOON

What the server does

A specialized Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that optimizes token usage by converting data to TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) and stripping non-essential context from code files.

The toon-parse-mcp MCP server helps AI agents (like Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.) operate more efficiently by: 1. Optimizing Code Context: Stripping comments and redundant spacing from code files while preserving functional structure and docstrings. 2. Data Format Conversion: Converting JSON, XML, YAML, and CSV inputs into the compact TOON format to save tokens. 3. Mandatory Efficiency Protocol: A built-in resource that instructs LLMs to prioritize token-saving tools.

Credentials and setup notes

  • Python >= 3.10 - mcp >= 1.25.0 - toon-parse >= 2.4.3
