LivePort
Secure localhost tunnels for AI agents. Expose your dev server to Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Cursor with zero config.
The Problem
AI coding agents can write your code but can't test it against your running dev server. The dev server runs on localhost — invisible to cloud browsers, headless Playwright instances, and remote AI agents.
Existing tunnel tools weren't designed for this:
- ngrok: Interstitial warning page breaks automated agents expecting JSON. URLs change on restart. Paid for persistent URLs.
- Cloudflare Tunnel: Requires a domain + Cloudflare account + 30 min setup. Overkill for a dev session.
- Tailscale Funnel: Requires Tailscale VPN setup. Not a standalone tool.
How LivePort Works
LivePort creates a secure tunnel from your localhost to a public URL. One command, zero config, no account required.
# CLI
npx @liveport/cli --port 3000
# MCP (for AI agents)
npx @liveport/mcp
Comparison
| ngrok | Cloudflare Tunnel | Tailscale Funnel | LivePort | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | CLI + account | Domain + CF account + cloudflared | Tailscale VPN | Zero-config |
| Free tier | 1 tunnel, interstitial page | Free, needs domain | Free with Tailscale | Free |
| AI agent compatible | Interstitial breaks agents | Works but heavy | Works but requires VPN | Purpose-built |
| Best for | Webhook testing, demos | Production tunnels | Private network access | AI dev workflows |
