Hi
We are from IBM Cloud VPC Team ( IaC - CLI, SDK, Terraform development to be precise ).
We came across Token Oriented Object Notation ( TOON ) a few days back and read a bit on what it has to offer wrt LLM token costs. We thought to experiment with our IBM Cloud MCP server.
We took a fork of mcp-cli repo to support additional config - enableToonOptimization. When it is enabled, whatever the data being fed to LLM, will be encoded/converted to TOON format.
We also used huggingface's transformer library to measure token costs ( JSON vs TOON ) for all our interactions while using mcp-cli with ibmcloud MCP Server.
Astonishingly, we observed ~15% to 60% cost savings with respect to LLM Provider's token costs.
Here is the documentation added. Please do let us know your thoughts.
