Description

mcptoon is a cross-agent MCP management CLI that discovers, manages, and syncs MCP server configurations across Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, and other AI coding agents. It reduces token overhead by 99.8% via Zero-Token name-only manifests.

Key Features

  • Token Optimization: Slim tool manifests cut 71,929 tokens → 123 tokens (99.8% savings)
  • Cross-Agent Sync: mcptoon sync writes configs to all IDE clients simultaneously
  • Continuous Watch: mcptoon sync --watch monitors config files for real-time sync
  • Health Check: mcptoon health detects zombie/dead MCP servers
  • Built-in Serve Bridge: mcptoon serve acts as a unified MCP server for all your tools
  • Token Dashboard: mcptoon stats shows token savings per server
  • Per-Tool Toggle: mcptoon toggle enables/disables individual tools

Installation

pip install mcptoon
# or
uv tool install mcptoon

Usage

mcptoon discover          # auto-discover all MCP servers
mcptoon manifest --slim   # ultra-compact tool listing
