Short answer

How can I check my ngrok tunnels with AI?

Your AI uses the ngrok MCP to pull lists of your live endpoints and reserved domains. You get a clear view of your public URLs through your chat interface. This breakdown shows how the data moves from your tunnels to your agent.

The outcomes.

Where your data lands.

The AI processes your ngrok information into these specific views.

STATUS

Live endpoint list

The AI uses list_endpoints to show you every active tunnel. You'll see exactly what is currently exposed to the internet.

DOMAINS

Reserved domain check

Your agent pulls your reserved domain list. This helps you verify which custom URLs you have claimed.

AUDIT

Endpoint summary

The AI organizes your tunnel details into a readable format. You can quickly scan for specific URLs or domain names.

HUMAN

Manual tunnel control

The AI cannot start or stop tunnels. You still handle the actual tunnel lifecycle through your terminal or ngrok dashboard.
