View on GitHubMCP tool discovery burns 71,929 tokens. mcptoon drops it to 581 (−99.2%, measured). Zero dependencies.
Zero-dependency Python CLI that acts as an MCP client/decoupling layer: it keeps MCP tool schemas out of agent context (255 tools drop from 71,929 to 581 tokens, measured), unifies one MCP config across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and scripts, and can expose every server as a single stdio server.
