Description

Before any navigation edit, your AI client needs to know which menus exist and where they're slotted in the theme — Easy MCP AI returns the full list of registered menus with IDs and location assignments in one call. From there, clients like Claude Desktop or Windsurf can chain directly into item-level operations without a second orientation step. Easy MCP AI's 162-tool surface covers the entire menu lifecycle, so the whole nav restructure stays inside a single conversation.
