🛡️ AdGuard Home MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AdGuard Home. Manage DNS rewrite records, filtering rules, and filter lists via AI agents.

[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@fcannizzaro/mcp-adguard-home) [](https://github.com/fcannizzaro/mcp-adguard-home/actions/workflows/publish-package.yaml)

📦 Installation

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

⚙️ Credentials

For the CLI, run:

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 |
