About LivePort MCP
LivePort MCP is an MCP server that lets AI agents create tunnels to local development servers, alongside a CLI tunnel client. It is aimed at AI development workflows and exposes local services without requiring an account or extra configuration.
Key features
- 01Create localhost tunnels through MCP tools
- 02Connect to local ports through the CLI
- 03Expose local development servers externally
- 04Start without an account or configuration
Use cases
- 01Let a coding agent test local code changes
- 02Provide endpoints for Stripe, GitHub, or Telegram webhooks
- 03Use a stable redirect address during OAuth development
- 04Expose a stable endpoint to automation workflows
MCP support
As an MCP server, it lets AI agents create tunnels to local servers through tool calls.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMELivePort
Secure localhost tunnels for AI agents. Expose your dev server to Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Cursor with zero config.
Quick Start
# CLI — expose localhost in one command
npx @liveport/cli connect 3000
# MCP — let AI agents create tunnels via tool calls
npx @liveport/mcp
No account required. No interstitial page. No config.

Packages
| Package | Description | Install |
|---|---|---|
@liveport/cli | CLI tunnel client | npx @liveport/cli |
@liveport/mcp | MCP server for AI agents | npx @liveport/mcp |
@liveport/agent-sdk | TypeScript SDK | npm i @liveport/agent-sdk |
Use Cases
- AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw) — test localhost changes without deploying
- Webhook development — stable URL for Stripe, GitHub, Telegram webhooks
- OAuth development — whitelist redirect URIs once, not every session
- Automation workflows — give n8n, Make, and Zapier a stable endpoint

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
