# toon-parse MCP Server
mcp-name: io.github.ankitpal181/toon-parse-mcp
[](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/)
[](https://badge.fury.io/py/toon-parse-mcp)
A specialized [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that optimizes token usage by converting data to TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) and stripping non-essential context from code files.
## Overview
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.
## Features
### Tools
- `optimize_input_context(raw_input: str)`: Processes raw text data (JSON/XML/CSV/YAML) and returns optimized TOON format.
- `read_and_optimize_file(file_path: str)`: Reads a local code file and returns a token-optimized version (no inline comments, minimized whitespace).
### Resources
- `protocol://mandatory-efficiency`: Provides a strict system instruction prompt for LLMs to ensure they use the optimization tools correctly.
## Installation
```bash
pip install toon-parse-mcp
```
## Configuration
### Cursor
1. Open Cursor Settings -> MCP.
2. Click "+ Add New MCP Server".
3. Name: `toon-parse-mcp`
4. Type: `command`
5. Command: `python3 -m toon_parse_mcp.server` (Ensure your environment is active or use absolute path to python)
### Windsurf
1. Click the hammer icon in the Cascade toolbar and select "Configure".
2. Alternatively, edit `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` directly.
3. Add the following to the `mcpServers` object:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"toon-parse-mcp": {
"command": "python3",
"args": ["-m", "toon_parse_mcp.server"]
}
}
}
```
### Antigravity
1. Open the MCP store via the "..." menu at the top right of the agent panel.
2. Select "Manage MCP Servers" -> "View raw config".
3. Alternatively, edit `~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json` directly.
4. Add the following to the `mcpServers` object:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"toon-parse-mcp": {
"command": "python3",
"args": ["-m", "toon_parse_mcp.server"]
}
}
}
```
### Claude Desktop
Add this to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"toon-parse-mcp": {
"command": "python3",
"args": ["-m", "toon_parse_mcp.server"]
}
}
}
```
## Usage
When the server is active, the AI will have access to the `optimize_input_context` and `read_and_optimize_file` tools. You can also refer to the efficiency protocol by asking the AI to "check the mandatory efficiency protocol".
## Testing
To run the test suite:
1. Install test dependencies:
```bash
pip install -e ".[test]"
```
2. Run tests:
```bash
pytest tests/
```
## Requirements
- Python >= 3.10
- `mcp` >= 1.25.0
- `toon-parse` >= 2.4.3
