You could do this by hand. Here's what it actually costs you.
Grep for MCP servers. Open each config file. Compare memories by hand. Test every endpoint. Or run Naqi once and do it in 3 seconds.
The Real Cost of Manual Cleanup
| Feature | Manual Cleanup | Naqi |
|---|---|---|
| Time to scan workspace | 30-60 min (find all clients, open configs) | 3 seconds (automated) |
| Find stale memories | Manual review of each memory | Automated age + relevance analysis |
| Detect contradictions | Impossible (human review at scale) | Smart heuristics catch all conflicts |
| Health scoring | Guesswork | Quantified 0-100 score with trends |
| Error prevention | High risk (syntax errors, wrong deletes) | Validated cleanup with rollback |
| Cross-client consistency | Extremely difficult | Unified view across 10 clients |
| Backup & recovery | Manual backups if you remember | Automatic backups on every change |
| Ongoing monitoring | Scheduled manual audits | Automated scheduled scans |
The Math: Time Saved
Manual Cleanup
1 hour
per month
Assuming you actually do it. Finding all 10 clients, opening each config, reviewing entries, making changes, and testing = at least 1 hour.
Naqi Cleanup
3 seconds
per month
Download, run scan, review recommendations, apply cleanup. All in 3 seconds (scanning). Review/apply adds 2-5 minutes once per month.
Your Savings
12 hours
per year
At $50/hour (developer time), that's $600/year in time savings. Pro is $59/year. ROI: 10x.
Why Manual Cleanup Fails
It Never Gets Done
You intend to clean up your workspace. But there's always urgent work. Manual cleanup gets pushed off indefinitely.
You Can't See Everything
You use 5 AI clients. Do you know the config files for all 5? Most users don't. Dead config stays hidden.
You Risk Breaking Things
Edit JSON by hand and a typo breaks the whole file. One mistake and your AI client won't start.
You Don't Know What To Delete
Is this memory still relevant? Is this server actually broken or just slow? Manual analysis is guesswork.
No Backup If You Mess Up
Delete something important? Hope you have a backup. Most people don't.
It's Not Repeatable
One-time cleanup. Then your workspace degrades again. No ongoing monitoring, no trends.

Stop Doing Manual Cleanup
Naqi automates the entire process. 3-second scans. Intelligent recommendations. Validated cleanup with rollback. Health trends over time.
