Before you connect

Questions about zrok.

The practical details behind the request, access and result.

What does the zrok MCP actually do for my development workflow?

It lets your AI agent create secure tunnels to your local machine. You can make local apps public or create private connections for testing without changing any router settings.

How do I use zrok MCP to test webhooks on my local machine?

Just ask your AI agent to create a public share for the port your webhook is listening on. It will give you a public URL that you can paste into your webhook provider.

Can the zrok MCP make my local dev site accessible to anyone?

Yes, by creating a public share, your local site becomes accessible via a zrok URL. You can also create private shares if you only want specific people to have access.

Is it safe to use zrok MCP for private internal resources?

Yes, it is designed for security. You can use private sharing modes to ensure that only authorized users can reach your internal resources through the tunnel.

How do I manage multiple tunnels using the zrok MCP?

You can ask your agent to list all active shares or get details for a specific one. This makes it easy to keep track of multiple connections across different projects.

Can I use the zrok MCP to see my account usage limits?

Yes, the Connector can check your account status and show you how many environments and shares you have left, plus your current data transfer percentage.

How do I create a public tunnel for my local web server?

Use the create_share capability. Specify the backend (e.g., http://localhost:8080), set share_mode to 'public', and backend_mode to 'proxy'. The agent will return the public URL.

Can I see all my currently active tunnels across all environments?

Yes! Run the list_shares capability. It will retrieve a list of all active shares associated with your account, including their tokens and backend configurations.

How do I stop an environment from being active in zrok?

You can use the disable_environment capability. This will remove the environment registration from the zrok controller, effectively disconnecting that machine or container.
