pinggy-tunnel

pinggy-tunnel is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sairam0424/MindForge. It costs 15 tokens per session (3,908 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of pinggy-tunnel, MIT.

A way to expose a service running on a local computer through a temporary public web address using Pinggy and SSH. SSH is a standard tool for making secure connections between computers.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for sharing local development servers, receiving webhooks, and temporarily publishing dashboards, demos, or other HTTP services.
Why use it?
It lets an external service or collaborator reach a local server when that server is not otherwise public. It avoids installing a separate tunnelling program.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: positional $N argument.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is nohup python3 /tmp/webhook-server.py >/tmp/webhook-server.log 2>&1 &.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pinggy-tunnel scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Pinggy Tunnel Skill

Expose a local service (dev server, webhook receiver, MCP endpoint, demo) to the public internet using a Pinggy SSH reverse tunnel. No daemon to install — the user's stock SSH client connects to a.pinggy.io:443 and Pinggy hands back a public HTTP/HTTPS URL.

Free tier: 60-minute tunnels, random subdomain, no signup. Pro tier ($3/mo) is an opt-in with a token.

When to Use

  • User asks to "expose this locally", "share my dev server", "make this URL public", "tunnel port N", "get a public URL for a webhook"
  • Need to receive a webhook callback during a local task (Stripe, GitHub, Discord, AgentMail)
  • Sharing a one-off HTTP demo (MCP server, Ollama/vLLM endpoint, dashboard) with a remote party
  • The host has SSH but no cloudflared / ngrok binary, and installing one would be overkill

If the host already has cloudflared configured, prefer the cloudflared-quick-tunnel skill — Cloudflare quick tunnels don't expire after 60 minutes.

Prerequisites

  • ssh on PATH (ssh -V). Default on Linux, macOS, and Windows 10+. No other install.
  • A local service listening on 127.0.0.1:<port> before the tunnel starts. Pinggy will return URLs but they'll 502 until the local origin is up.

Optional:

  • PINGGY_TOKEN env var for paid Pro features (persistent subdomain, custom domain, multiple tunnels, no 60-minute cap). Free tier needs no credentials.
