# Tooner

Tooner is a lightweight MCP wrapper that keeps your server setup unchanged, but makes model-facing responses cleaner and shorter. It rewrites JSON-heavy outputs into [TOON format](https://toonformat.dev/) so models spend fewer tokens on syntax noise (~40% fewer tokens).

## What it does

- Works with your existing MCP servers (no server rewrite required)
- Keeps the same data, but in a format models read more efficiently
- Reduces token usage on large JSON responses
- Handles many messy JSON-like outputs and still returns useful model-ready content

## Installation

### Homebrew

You can install a binary release on macOS/Linux using brew:

```bash
# Install
brew install chaindead/tap/tooner

# Update
brew upgrade chaindead/tap/tooner
```

### NPX

You can run the latest version directly using npx (supports macOS, Linux, and Windows):

```bash
npx -y @chaindead/tooner
```

When using NPX [Configure MCP (Cursor example)](#configure-mcp-cursor-example) becomes:
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "telegram": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@chaindead/tooner", "memory-mcp-server-go"]
    }
  }
}
```

### From Source

Requirements:
- Go 1.26 or later
- GOBIN in PATH

```bash
go install github.com/chaindead/tooner@latest
```

## Configure MCP

Setup is the only thing you need to do: in MCP config, shift the command by one argument and insert `tooner` at the beginning.

Before:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memory": {
      "command": "memory-mcp-server-go"
    }
  }
}
```

After:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memory": {
      "command": "tooner",
      "args": ["memory-mcp-server-go"]
    }
  }
}
```

Another example - Postgres MCP:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postgres": {
      "command": "tooner",
      "args": [
        "uvx",
        "postgres-mcp",
        "--access-mode=unrestricted"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DATABASE_URI": "...",
        "TOONER_LOG_PATH": "/tmp/tooner.log"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

NPX setup:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memory": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@chaindead/tooner", "memory-mcp-server-go"]
    }
  }
}
```

That's it. From there, `tooner` launches your MCP server as a subprocess and transparently proxies traffic, replacing JSON with TOON.
