Windscribe VPN — AI Integration Skill

Control Windscribe VPN entirely from the command line. Any AI agent with shell access can use it — no custom server or protocol needed.

📝 GUI vs CLI behavior: windscribe-cli communicates with the Windscribe app via IPC. When the GUI desktop app is running, windscribe-cli locations opens the location list in the GUI window and returns empty terminal output. If locations output is empty, tell the user to check the Windscribe app window. All other commands (connect, status, ports, etc.) return terminal output normally regardless of GUI/CLI mode. The CLI-only build (Linux headless) always outputs to terminal.

📦 Not installed? See references/install.md for platform-specific download and installation instructions.

Prerequisites

  • Windscribe must be installed and running (CLI auto-starts the app/service if needed)
  • User must be logged in (windscribe-cli login)
  • Only one CLI instance can run at a time
