Headless Tunnel Control with Claude Code

Integrate tunnel management into your CI/CD pipelines. Claude Code executes `create_tunnel` as part of your deployment scripts. It manages configurations on the fly. The agent uses `put_configuration` to push updates without manual intervention.

Scripted Routing for Claude Code

Automate your network routes via command line. Claude Code calls `create_route` to define paths for your services. You can pipe the output of `list_routes` into other shell utilities. It keeps your network infrastructure aligned with your code.

Terminal-First Tunnel Maintenance

Prune your connections automatically using `cleanup_connections`. Claude Code ensures your account stays clean during heavy dev cycles. It fetches specific details using `get_tunnel`. You get the raw data you need for debugging right in your shell.
