## 📦 Installation

```bash
npm i -g @fcannizzaro/mcp-adguard-home
```

## ⚙️ Credentials

For the CLI, run:

```bash
adguard-cli login
```

This prompts for your AdGuard Home URL, username, and password, then saves them to `~/.config/mcp-adguard-home/config.json`. Saved credentials are loaded automatically on start. If no saved credentials are available, the package falls back to these environment variables:

| Variable           | Description                                                        |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `ADGUARD_URL`      | Base URL of your AdGuard Home instance (e.g. `http://192.168.1.1`) |
| `ADGUARD_USERNAME` | AdGuard Home username                                              |
| `ADGUARD_PASSWORD` | AdGuard Home password                                              |

## 🧰 Available Tools

The package also installs a regular CLI for agents or scripts that do not use MCP:

```bash
adguard-cli login
adguard-cli list_rewrite_dns_records
adguard-cli add_rewrite_dns_record --domain example.test --ip 192.168.1.10
adguard-cli manage_dns_filtering_rules --domains ads.example --allowed false
```

CLI arguments can also be passed as a JSON object:

```bash
adguard-cli add_rewrite_dns_record '{"domain":"example.test","ip":"192.168.1.10"}'
```
