Destructive

Description

Campaign menus, test navigations, and legacy nav structures accumulate after every redesign — Easy MCP AI lets your AI client wipe the whole container, items and all, from a single conversational instruction. The deletion is permanent and cannot be undone, so Easy MCP AI's audit logging records exactly which AI client triggered it and when, giving you accountability without slowing down the workflow. Supported clients include Claude Desktop, n8n, Roo Code, and twelve others.
