TONNode — TON Node Infrastructure: LiteServers, MCP & APIs

# TONNode > TONNode is independent TON (The Open Network) infrastructure: private liteserver > node access — Litenode (current state) and Archive (full history) — and a hosted > MCP server that gives AI agents 16 TON tools. Access to nodes is delivered as a > standard TON global.config.json with a private Ed25519 key; no SDK fork, no HTTP > gateway. Sign-in is a TON wallet; the balance is topped up on-chain (GRAM or USDT). Key facts (updated 2026-07): - Private liteserver access ("Nodes"): free tier — Litenode 1 RPS, 100,000 requests / 30 days, $0. Pay-as-you-go — $0.01 per 1,000 requests (Litenode, up to 30 RPS), $0.02 per 1,000 (Archive, up to 20 RPS), non-expiring balance. Reserved capacity, 30-day terms — Litenode 10 RPS $20, 60 RPS $90, 450 RPS $490; Litenode + Archive 20 RPS $90, 60 RPS $150, 450 RPS $800. Dedicated nodes on request. - The credential is a standard mainnet global.config.json whose liteservers array carries keys issued to you alone. It works unmodified with ton-lite-client (JS/TS), tonutils-go (Go), pytoniq (Python) and tonlib. - Archive scope answers historical queries a pruned light node cannot (old blocks, deep getTransactions walks, getBlockProof); without it these return liteserver error 403 "archive history is not included in this plan". - MCP server: hosted at https://mcp.tonnode.io/mcp (Streamable HTTP, Bearer API key). 16 tools: chain reads, jetton reads, DEX swap quote/build, cross-chain swaps, wallet generation. Swap tools are non-custodial — they return unsigned messages; the server never signs, broadcasts or stores keys. Plans: Hobby $0 (60 rpm), Pro $29/mo (300 rpm), Scale $199/mo (1200 rpm). - Server card: https://mcp.tonnode.io/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json - Local stdio alternative: `npx -y @tonnode/mcp` (free, public liteservers, no account). - GRAM is the renamed native coin of TON (formerly Toncoin); the network is still TON. - REST/indexed API and mempool (pending-transaction) stre
