What problem does it solve? Sharing a local dev server, webhook receiver, or MCP endpoint with the outside world normally requires installing tunneling daemons like ngrok or cloudflared. This Skill creates public HTTP/HTTPS URLs for any localhost service using only the stock SSH client, with no installation or signup required. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Zero-Install Tunnels: Connects to a.pinggy.io over SSH on port 443 to create HTTP, TCP, or TLS reverse tunnels without any binary installation. - Access Control: Gates public URLs with HTTP Basic auth, bearer tokens, IP whitelists, CORS headers, or forced HTTPS via username keywords. - Ready-Made Recipes: Includes end-to-end patterns for receiving webhook callbacks, exposing MCP servers over HTTP/SSE, sharing local LLM endpoints (Ollama/vLLM), and password-protected dev server demos. - Use Case: You need Stripe to POST webhook events to your laptop during local development. The Skill starts a capture server on port 18080, opens a token-gated Pinggy tunnel, parses the public URL from the log, and hands it back for the Stripe dashboard. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to expose local port 8000 to the internet with a Pinggy tunnel and give you the public URL.
