AI assistants
Your AI assistant can read DU Meter's network traffic statistics: the speeds now, the totals of each day, week and month, the history hour by hour, and the traffic of each program. Ask it, for example, what is using your connection, whether you will stay within your data limit, or why the Internet was slow last night.
The assistant can only read. It cannot change DU Meter's settings, alerts or history. When DU Meter's trial has ended, DU Meter tells the assistant that it is not registered, and gives it no statistics.
Claude Desktop
- Click Show DU Meter.mcpb. A File Explorer window opens with the file selected.
- In Claude Desktop, open Settings and find Extensions: in Settings > Desktop app, Extensions, Manage, or in older versions Settings > Extensions.
- Drag DU Meter.mcpb into it, and follow Claude's prompts.
Where a company manages Claude, its administrator may have to allow the extension first. Uninstalling DU Meter leaves the extension in Claude: remove it in Claude's Extensions.
Other AI apps
AI apps that start MCP servers on your computer take the settings shown on the page. Click Copy to clipboard, and paste them where the app keeps its MCP servers:
- Claude Code: in a Command Prompt or PowerShell window, run
claude mcp add --scope user DUMeter -- "C:\Program Files (x86)\DU Meter\DUMeter.exe" /mcp - Cursor, LM Studio and other apps with an
mcp.jsonfile: paste the settings into that file. If it lists other servers already, add theDUMeterentry to itsmcpServerslist. - Visual Studio Code: its
mcp.jsoncalls the listservers: add theDUMeterentry there.
The settings name DU Meter's own folder: if you installed DU Meter elsewhere, copy them from the page rather than from here.
Privacy
What your AI assistant reads from DU Meter, it sends to its own service with your chat, as it does with anything you ask it about: the AI app's privacy policy applies. DU Meter itself sends your traffic statistics only to dumeter.net, and only if you set up reporting there.
