# 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

1. Click **Show DU Meter.mcpb**. A File Explorer window opens with the file selected.
2. In Claude Desktop, open **Settings** and find **Extensions**: in **Settings > Desktop app**, **Extensions**,
   **Manage**, or in older versions **Settings > Extensions**.
3. 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.json` file: paste the settings into that file. If it lists
  other servers already, add the `DUMeter` entry to its `mcpServers` list.
- **Visual Studio Code**: its `mcp.json` calls the list `servers`: add the `DUMeter` entry 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](https://www.hageltech.com/support/kb/du/using/dumeter_net), and only if you set up reporting there.
