Share MCP tools and agent skills across local agents with mcptoon
Use mcptoon to install, index, inspect, and call MCP tools and agent skills from one local CLI while keeping bulky schemas and skill text out of every agent context.
npx skills add agentskillexchange/skills --skill share-mcp-tools-and-agent-skills-across-local-agents-with-mcptoon
Use mcptoon when an operator needs one local control plane for MCP servers and agent skills across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, VS Code Copilot, and other local agents. The upstream project documents tool discovery, skill search, compact manifests, on-demand schema inspection, direct tool calls, MCP serving, TOON output, starter packs, and quickstart registration for detected agents.
What this skill actually does
Invoke this instead of hand-editing each agent’s MCP and skill configuration when the job is to share tools across runtimes, reduce context spent on tool schemas, or let an agent discover and inspect tools on demand. The scope boundary is local MCP and skill management plus context compaction. It is not a general package registry, model framework, or standalone application platform.
Inputs and prerequisites: Python 3, pip, local MCP servers or agent skills to index, and one or more supported local agents.
Setup notes: pip install mcptoon && mcptoon quickstart
Source and verification boundary: use https://activeing123.github.io/mcptoon/ as the canonical reference before running the workflow; keep commands, API calls, CLI usage, and generated outputs reviewable against that upstream source.
Framework fit: publish this as a Multi-Framework workflow only when the operator can invoke the documented toolchain directly, rather than treating the upstream project as a generic product listing.
