BRICKS CLI

CLI for BRICKS Workspace API — manage devices, apps, modules, and media.

Scope note: This skill covers cloud API operations (device/app/module/media management) *and* local-network device interaction (LAN discovery, MCP bridging). The use-desktop-acp rule extends scope further to include bridging with the BRICKS Project Desktop agent, which shares sessions and can execute commands in project context. See the Security section below for details.

Installation (if not yet)

# Validate installed
which bricks

# npm (published by @fugood on npmjs.com — https://www.npmjs.com/package/@fugood/bricks-cli)
npm i -g @fugood/bricks-cli
# Bun
bun add -g @fugood/bricks-cli

Authentication

# Login with one-time passcode (get from https://control.bricks.tools)
bricks auth login <passcode>

# Check auth status
bricks auth status

# Switch profiles
bricks auth list
bricks auth use <profile>

Global --auth-profile Flag

Use -ap or --auth-profile to override the active profile for any command, without switching the stored profile:

# Run any command as a specific profile
bricks -ap staging device list
bricks --auth-profile production app list

# Also applies to login — saves token to the specified profile
bricks -ap staging auth login <passcode>

Priority: --auth-profile flag > BRICKS_PROFILE env > stored current profile.

# Show connection URLs for a device
bricks devtools open <address>
bricks devtools open <address> -p 19853   # Custom port

Devices must have "Enable LAN Discovery" turned on in Advanced Settings (on by default).

MCP Server

bricks mcp start      # Start MCP server (STDIO mode)

Bridging Device MCP to Local CLI

Use mcporter to bridge a device's MCP endpoint as a local MCP server (STDIO), so tools like Claude Code can connect to it:

# Bridge a device's MCP endpoint (requires passcode as Bearer token)
npx mcporter --url http://<device-ip>:19851/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <passcode>"

ACP Bridge (BRICKS Project Desktop)

Connect external ACP clients to the running BRICKS Project Desktop (docs).

# Start the bridge (requires BRICKS Project Desktop running with ACP enabled in Settings)
bricks desktop-acp-bridge

The bridge pipes ACP JSON-RPC over stdio ↔ the app's Unix socket (~/.bricks-project-desktop/acp.sock). It shares the app's sessions and MCP state.

Security: Commands executed through the ACP bridge run in the project's working directory. Only enable ACP when actively needed, and prefer --deny-all over --approve-all when automating. See the Security section and rule use-desktop-acp for details.

See rule use-desktop-acp for full usage with acpx and OpenClaw.

Rules

• connect-local-device — Deploy the current app to a local LAN device, then monitor status, debug, and run automations via MCP
• use-desktop-acp — Connect to the BRICKS Project Desktop agent via ACP for headless prompting, session management, and multi-agent orchestration

Security

• Auto-approve risk: Running acpx --approve-all allows the bridged agent to execute bash commands without confirmation. Prefer explicit approval or --deny-all for untrusted prompts. Never combine --approve-all with persistent config in unattended/shared environments.
• Persistent config: Creating ~/.acpx/config.json enables future ACP sessions without re-specifying the agent. This is convenient but means any process that invokes acpx bricks can start a session with project file access. Remove the config when not actively needed.
• Device passcodes: LAN device MCP bridging (mcporter) requires passing device passcodes as Bearer tokens. Treat passcodes as secrets — do not log or commit them.
• LAN discovery: bricks devtools scan broadcasts on the local network. Only run on trusted networks.

Tips

• Use -j or --json on most commands for JSON output
• Device IDs are UUIDs — use device list to find them
• Get workspace token from: https://control.bricks.tools → Workspace Settings → API Token
