Find dev caches, large unused videos and old logs, then move approved items to the OS trash.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • PyPIPython’s uv installed (for the uvx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "diskclean": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "diskclean-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add diskclean -- uvx diskclean-mcp-server

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "diskclean": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "diskclean-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "diskclean": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "diskclean-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Disk Clean safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 7 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Disk Clean MCP Server

日本語 | English

Ask Claude or another AI assistant to "clean up my disk". This MCP server finds the files that eat your disk space and moves them to the trash.

  • Nothing is deleted. Items go to the OS trash, so you can restore them later
  • You always see a list first, and only the items you approve are moved
  • System folders are never touched

Supported OS: macOS / Linux / Windows

What it finds

TypeExamples
Developer cachesnode_modules, __pycache__, Rust target/, build/ and dist/, Python virtual environments (.venv), ~/.gradle/caches, ~/.cargo/registry
Large, unused videos.mp4, .mov, .mkv and other videos over 100 MB that have not been opened or changed in 90 days
Old logs.log and .log.gz files not updated in 30 days

You can change the size and age limits when you ask (for example "videos over 500 MB" or "logs older than a year").


Install

Claude Desktop (easiest)
  1. Download the latest diskclean-mcp-server-*.mcpb from Releases
  2. Double-click the file, or drag it into Claude Desktop's Settings → Extensions
  3. Click Install

Claude Desktop sets up Python and everything else for you.

Other apps (Claude Code, Cline, manual setup)

These use uv to download and run the server. You do not need to install Python yourself.

Step 1. Install uv

macOS / Linux:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell):

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Open a new terminal and check that uv --version works.

Step 2. Add the server to your app

Claude Code
claude mcp add --scope user diskclean -- uvx diskclean-mcp-server

--scope user makes it available in every project.

Optional: install the skill that teaches Claude the safe cleanup steps.

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/disk-cleanup

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kate941-su/diskcleaner-mcp/main/.claude/skills/disk-cleanup/SKILL.md \ -o ~/.claude/skills/disk-cleanup/SKILL.md

Claude Desktop (manual setup)

Open the config file:

OSConfig file
macOS~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the following and restart Claude Desktop:

{

"mcpServers": { "diskclean": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["diskclean-mcp-server"] } } }

Cline (VS Code)

Open the config file from Cline's MCP Servers screen and add the same entry as above.


How to use

Ask your assistant in plain words:

My disk is full. Find files I don't need in my home folder.
Clean up all the node_modules folders under ~/projects.
Find videos in ~/Movies over 1 GB that I haven't watched in six months.
Show me what is using space in ~/Library/Caches, two levels deep.
What happens
  1. The assistant looks at the folder and tells you what is using the space
  2. You get a list of candidates (path, type, size, last modified) and the total space you can free. Nothing has been moved yet
  3. You say what to move ("all of them", "only node_modules", "everything except #3")
  4. Only the approved items go to the trash, and you get a report
Restoring files

Everything goes to the trash, so you can bring it back at any time.

  • macOS: open the Trash in Finder, right-click the item and choose Put Back
  • Windows: open the Recycle Bin, right-click the item and choose Restore
  • Linux: open the trash in your file manager and choose Restore (stored in ~/.local/share/Trash)

Disk space is actually freed when you empty the trash.

What is never moved
  • OS system folders (/usr, /System, C:\Windows, C:\Program Files, and so on)
  • Your home folder itself, and folders directly under the disk root
  • Anything that was not in the list you were shown
  • Symbolic links (and the files they point to)
  • node_modules and virtual environments that belong to tools and apps, not to your projects: the pnpm store, Node.js installed by nvm, VS Code extensions, and anything inside ~/Library, ~/AppData or hidden folders in your home folder. Removing these would break the tool

build/ and dist/ only count as caches when a build file such as package.json sits next to them, so normal folders with the same name are not picked up by mistake.


Updating

The Claude Desktop extension: download the new .mcpb from Releases and install it again.

With uvx: uv keeps a cached copy. To get the latest version, run the following and restart your app.

uv cache clean diskclean-mcp-server

To always start the newest version, use "args": ["diskclean-mcp-server@latest"] instead. This checks for updates every time the server starts.


Troubleshooting

The tools don't show up in my assistant

  • Restart the app after changing settings
  • Claude Desktop may not find uvx. Put the full path in "command". Find it with which uvx on macOS / Linux or where uvx on Windows
  • In Claude Code, check with claude mcp list

"Some folders could not be read" (skipped_errors)

  • Folders you don't have permission to read are skipped. On macOS, giving the app Full Disk Access may help (System Settings → Privacy & Security)

The scan stopped early (timed_out)

  • One scan runs for up to 60 seconds. Ask for a smaller folder, such as ~/projects
