## What it does

The skill maps requests about AdsPower environments to `adspower-browser` CLI commands. It can launch or close browsers, create, edit, delete, and list profiles, and work with groups, tags, proxies, cookies, and browser fingerprints. The CLI also includes API status and browser-kernel commands.

Install the `adspower-browser` package to use the CLI; `adspower` and `ads` are aliases. AdsPower must be running, usually on port `50325`. Pass `--port` or `--api-key` when needed, or set `ADS_API_KEY` before running `start`. Profile commands will not run if the AdsPower application is stopped.

# AdsPower Local API with adspower-browser

The Skills CLI (npx adspower-browser) is the package manager for operate AdsPower browser profiles, groups, proxies, 
and application/category lists via the **adspower-browser** CLI. For more infomation about out product and services, 
visit [AdsPower Official Website](https://www.adspower.com/).

## Install CLI

```bash
npm install -g adspower-browser
```

After installation, you can use any of these equivalent commands:

```bash
adspower-browser
adspower
ads
```

`adspower-browser` is the original command name. `adspower` and `ads` are aliases that point to the same CLI entry.

## When to Use This Skill

Apply when the user:

- Asks to create, update, delete, or list AdsPower browser profiles
- Says 打开环境、配置文件、profile、AdsPower 等意指**启动已有**浏览器环境 → 使用 `open-browser`（CLI 或 MCP）；完整说法与工具映射见 [references/tool-intent-map.md](references/tool-intent-map.md)
- Mentions opening or closing browsers/profiles, fingerprint, UA, or proxy
- Wants to manage groups, tags, proxies, or check API status
- Refers to AdsPower or adspower-browser (and MCP is not running or not desired)

Ensure AdsPower is running (default port `50325`). Pass `--port` / `--api-key` when needed, or set the `ADS_API_KEY` environment variable before running `start`.

The CLI itself supports launching the AdsPower application via API key. If the AdsPower client is installed, AdsPower headless mode can also be launched via API key.

## How to Run

The examples below use `ads` for brevity, but `adspower-browser` and `adspower` work the same way.

```bash
ads start -k <KEY>
```

If the `ADS_API_KEY` environment variable is set, you can start the CLI directly with:

```bash
ads start
```

General command form:

```bash
ads <command> [<arg>] [--port PORT] [--api-key KEY]
```

AdsPower client headless mode:
```bash
AdsPower Global：
Windows设备下： "AdsPower Global.exe" --headless=true --api-key=your_api_key --api-port=50325
MacOS设备下："/Applications/AdsPower Global.app/Contents/MacOS/AdsPower Global" --args --headless=true --api-key=your_api_key --api-port=50325
Linux设备下：adspower_global --headless=true --api-key=your_api_key --api-port=50325
```

**Two forms for `<arg>`:**

1. **Single value (shorthand)** — for profile-related commands, pass one profile ID or number:
   - `ads open-browser <profile_id>`
   - `ads close-browser <profile_id>`
   - `ads get-profile-cookies <profile_id>`
   - `ads get-browser-active <profile_id>`
   - `ads get-profile-ua <profile_id>` (single ID; a numeric token is treated as `profile_no`)
   - `ads new-fingerprint <profile_id>` (single ID; a numeric token is treated as `profile_no`)
