Ton CLI

TON MCP Raw CLI Mode

Run any TON wallet MCP tool directly from the command line. The binary invokes the tool, prints the JSON result to stdout, and exits.

Invocation Modes

Use exactly one mode for a given workflow: either MCP server mode (stdio/--http) or raw CLI. Do not combine them in the same task/session.

Raw CLI Usage

# No arguments
npx @ton/mcp@alpha get_balance

# Named arguments (--key value)
npx @ton/mcp@alpha get_transactions --limit 5
npx @ton/mcp@alpha get_jetton_balance --jettonAddress EQAbc...

# All values are passed as plain strings; JSON objects/arrays are also accepted
npx @ton/mcp@alpha get_transactions --limit 10
npx @ton/mcp@alpha send_ton --toAddress UQA... --amount 0.1 --comment "hi"

Arguments are passed as --key value pairs. Objects/arrays ({...} / [...]) are JSON-parsed; everything else is kept as a plain string.

Output

All tools print JSON to stdout. Errors are printed to stderr and the process exits with code 1.

# Capture output for scripting
BALANCE=$(npx @ton/mcp@alpha get_balance)
echo $BALANCE | jq '.balance'

Environment Variables

The CLI respects the same environment variables as the server:

Without MNEMONIC or PRIVATE_KEY, the CLI uses the local config registry at ~/.config/ton/config.json (registry mode). In registry mode, wallet-scoped tools accept an optional --walletSelector to target a specific wallet by id, name, or address.

# Resolve a .ton domain
npx @ton/mcp@alpha resolve_dns --domain foundation.ton

# In registry mode: check balances for a named wallet
npx @ton/mcp@alpha get_balance --walletSelector "my-hot-wallet"

# In registry mode: list all registered wallets
npx @ton/mcp@alpha list_wallets

# Send TON (always confirm with user first)
npx @ton/mcp@alpha send_ton --toAddress UQA... --amount 0.5 --comment "payment"

# Swap quote
npx @ton/mcp@alpha get_swap_quote --fromToken TON --toToken EQCxE6mUtQJKFnGfaROTKOt1lZbDiiX1kCixRv7Nw2Id_sDs --amount 1

Notes

• Use emulate_transaction to dry-run any transaction before sending — it returns expected balance changes, fees, and high-level actions
• Always confirm with the user before running send_ton, send_jetton, send_nft, or send_raw_transaction;
• For confirmations and small option sets, prefer the host client's structured confirmation/choice UI when available; otherwise use a short natural-language yes/no prompt and never require an exact magic word;
• After sending, poll get_transaction_status --normalizedHash <hash> until status is completed or failed (unless the user asks to skip).
• In registry mode the active wallet from ~/.config/ton/config.json is used by default.
