How to inspect ngrok edge routing with your AI

Connect ngrok to your AI client once. From there, your agent can pull your edge data and check your routing setups.

Short answer

How can I check my ngrok edge routing with AI?

Your agent uses the ngrok MCP to pull a list of your active HTTPS edges. It then compares these configurations against your requirements to spot errors. You get a clear view of your routing state without opening the ngrok dashboard.

Where your data lands.

The outcomes of an inspection.

The AI handles the data retrieval and comparison for you.

AUDIT

Edge configuration lists

The AI pulls your current HTTPS edge settings. You get a clean readout of how your traffic is being routed.

TROUBLESHOOT

Routing error detection

Your agent identifies mismatches between your intended setup and the live edge data. It flags where routing might be broken.

VERIFY

Configuration validation

The AI checks that your edge settings match your specific rules. You get confirmation that your setup is correct.

HUMAN

Manual configuration changes

The AI identifies issues but cannot modify your live edges. You still perform all actual routing changes in the ngrok dashboard.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as the interface between your chat and your ngrok account.

  1. Fetch edge data

    The agent reaches into your ngrok account to grab all active HTTPS edge details.

    list_https_edges

  2. Analyze routing

    It looks through the retrieved edge data to understand your current traffic paths.

    list_https_edges

  3. Identify discrepancies

    The AI compares the live edge list against the specific routing rules you describe in chat.

    list_https_edges

  4. Report findings

    Your agent presents a summary of the edge configurations and any issues it found.

    list_https_edges

  • List all my current ngrok HTTPS edges so I can see what's active.

  • Check my 'production-api' edge to see if the routing is set up correctly.

  • Are there any HTTPS edges in my ngrok account that don't have a valid domain assigned?

  • Compare my current edge configurations against the routing rules I just described.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my ngrok routing rules?

    No. The AI can only read your edge configurations. You must make all changes manually in the ngrok dashboard.

  • 02

    Does the AI see my private traffic data?

    No. The AI only accesses the configuration and routing metadata provided by the tool.

  • 03

    Can I use this to create new edges?

    No. This task is strictly for inspecting and verifying existing edges.

  • 04

    How does the AI know if my routing is wrong?

    The AI compares the data it pulls from your account against the specific routing logic you provide in your prompt.

  • 05

    Will this work with any AI client?

    Yes, as long as you are using an MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.
