Short answer

How can I audit my active zrok tunnels with AI?

Your AI uses the zrok MCP to pull a list of all current shares and account details. You can then ask it to inspect specific tunnel configurations or delete any that are no longer needed.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI create new tunnels for me?

    No. This MCP is designed for auditing and managing existing shares, not creating new ones.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete my tunnels without asking?

    No. The AI only executes a deletion when you explicitly tell it to remove a specific share.

  • 03

    Can I see my billing information?

    No. The AI can only access account usage data through the provided tools.

  • 04

    Does the AI have access to my local machine?

    No. The AI only interacts with the zrok service via the MCP tools.

  • 05

    How do I know which share is which?

    You can ask the AI to list all shares, and it will provide the identifiers you need to inspect or delete them.
