Extensions see one IDE. Naqi sees all ten.
Cursor plugin for Cursor. VS Code extension for VS Code. Your config problems cross clients — your cleanup tool should too.
The Limitations of Point Solutions
| Feature | Individual Extensions | Naqi (Unified) |
|---|---|---|
| Covers all 10 AI clients | ❌ Each extension works on one client only | ✓ Unified scanning across all clients |
| Detects duplicate servers | ❌ Can't see servers in other clients | ✓ Finds cross-client duplicates |
| Memory management | ❌ No memory detection (tool-focused) | ✓ Contradiction detection, stale memory analysis |
| Context bloat analysis | ❌ No visibility into full config impact | ✓ Calculates wasted context window % |
| Health scoring | ❌ Isolated metrics only | ✓ Unified 0-100 health score with trends |
| Safe cleanup with undo | Varies (some have rollback, most don't) | ✓ Automatic backups, full undo stack |
| Setup complexity | Install 5+ extensions = 5+ config points | ✓ Single app, one scan, all clients |
| Performance impact | Each extension adds startup latency | ✓ Zero impact (runs on-demand) |
The Extension Trap
Extension Scenario
- 💻 You use VS Code with a GitHub extension + MCP extension
- 🎯 You also use Cursor with its own GitHub MCP server
- 📱 Claude Desktop has yet another GitHub server config
- ❓ Result: You have 3 GitHub integrations configured 3 different ways
What Each Extension Can See
- 🔍 VS Code extension: Only sees VS Code config
- 🔍 Cursor extension: Only sees Cursor config
- 🔍 Claude Desktop: Can't see what Cursor has
- ❌ Nobody sees the duplicates or inconsistencies
Naqi's Unified View
- 👁️ Scans all 10 clients at once
- 🔗 Detects all 3 GitHub servers
- ⚠️ Flags them as duplicates
- ✓ Recommends cleanup across all clients
Why Extensions Can't Solve This Problem
Architectural Limitation
A VS Code extension only has access to VS Code's config. It can't read Claude Desktop's memory files or Cursor's MCP servers. Extensions are intentionally siloed.
Context Switching Cost
You'd need 5+ extensions for full coverage. Each one runs independently, adds UI clutter, consumes system resources, and requires separate configuration.
No Cross-Client Intelligence
Detecting duplicates, contradictions, and drift requires seeing all clients at once. Extensions can't do this by design.
No Health Scoring
A unified health score requires data from all clients. Extensions work on isolated islands—they can't compute your overall workspace health.
Maintenance Burden
Each extension has a different maintainer, different update cadence, different bugs. Managing 5 extensions is fragmented support.
Redundant Installations
You end up installing the same capability (e.g., GitHub access) in multiple tools, configuring it differently each time.
Works with
One App. All Clients. One Unified View.
Naqi is built specifically for the multi-client reality of modern AI development. See everything at once, detect duplicates, clean up intelligently.
