mcptoon Connect — Unified MCP Setup

Teaches Claude to manage and sync every agent's MCP servers from a single mcptoon config file.

AutomationIntermediate★ 202⑂ 8AI score 8/10Last updated: Sep 19, 2026

What it does

This skill gives Claude a command-by-command playbook for the mcptoon CLI, which treats ~/.mcptoon/config.json as the single source of truth and syncs it into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, Windsurf and VS Code. It covers inspection (list, doctor), adding servers (discover, install), syncing (sync, sync --dry), and running one stdio gateway (mcptoon serve) instead of registering N servers. It also documents manifest compression flags (--toon, --slim, --compact) that cut tool-discovery tokens dramatically.

Who it's for

  • Developers juggling multiple MCP servers across several AI clients
  • Anyone whose context window is eaten by oversized tool manifests
  • Teams that need consistent MCP config across Cursor, Claude Code and IDEs

Examples

  • "Audit my MCP setup" → Claude runs mcptoon list and mcptoon doctor before changing anything
  • "Add an npm MCP server everywhere" → mcptoon install <name> --npm @scope/pkg then mcptoon sync
  • "Find the right tool without dumping everything" → mcptoon search <query> or mcptoon inspect <server> <tool>
