DiskCleanKit provides ready-to-use Shortcuts actions:
- Quick Clean - Run a fast system scan and clean

Custom Workflows

MCP Support (For Power Users)
For advanced users, DiskCleanKit supports Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI assistants like Claude to provide intelligent cleaning recommendations.
What is MCP?
Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to applications. With MCP, you can:
- Ask AI about your disk usage in natural language
- Get personalized cleaning recommendations
- Receive context-aware suggestions based on your workflow
Privacy-First
- All disk scanning happens locally
- AI sees only aggregated data, not file contents
- You control when and how AI connects
- No automatic discovery or background connections
Getting Started with MCP
1. Ensure DiskCleanKit is installed
2. Configure your AI client (Claude, etc.) to connect via MCP
3. Start asking questions about your Mac's storage

Note: Detailed setup guides for each integration are available in the app.
