I'm an AI assistant - my answers may be incorrect and I cannot see screenshots. Please verify information with the OpenRouter docs.

I don't have specific documentation in your provided sources that defines "shell profile" for Windows or PowerShell in the context of the OpenRouter docs.

However, generally in Windows:

  • A "shell profile" refers to a script file that runs automatically when starting your shell (such as PowerShell).
  • In PowerShell, this profile is typically at:
    $PROFILE
    This variable points to your PowerShell profile script, often located at:
    C:\Users\<YourUserName>\Documents\PowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1
  • You can edit this file to set environment variables or other configuration needed for CLI/API tools.

For more details, please check the OpenRouter docs or the official PowerShell profile documentation.

If you need instructions specific to OpenRouter, please clarify what you are trying to accomplish with your shell profile so I can assist further.

Yes, you can use the $PROFILE variable in PowerShell before modifying your shell profile. $PROFILE gives you the path to your current PowerShell profile script. You can open or edit this file to add environment variables or other commands needed before running OpenRouter or related tools.

For example, to open your profile in Notepad, run:

notepad $PROFILE

This will let you add export commands or other setup instructions as required in the guide.

The OpenRouter MCP integration docs mention using a .env file to set environment variables, but if you want those variables available in every PowerShell session, setting them in your profile script is appropriate. Make sure to reload your profile or restart PowerShell after editing.

I don't have specific documentation for this exact step in the OpenRouter docs. Please verify with the mods or check the OpenRouter docs directly for the most accurate information.
