Pipepie MCP server

Lets your AI inspect webhooks, replay requests, and manage tunnels for your local apps.

Developer tools For it and development Developer Tools

Pipepie is a tool that creates a public web address for something running on your own computer, like a small website or an app you are building. It also records the webhooks and requests that come in so you can look at them later. The MCP server part lets your AI assistant work with all of that for you, in plain chat.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to another tool. This one connects your AI to Pipepie, which manages tunnels and webhook traffic on your machine. Once it is set up, your AI can look at your tunnels and requests, and do things like replay a webhook, just because you asked.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something about your tunnels or the requests coming into them. The AI uses this helper to talk to Pipepie on your computer. Pipepie checks its records of tunnels and incoming webhooks, or makes a change like starting or stopping a tunnel. Then the AI tells you what it found or what it did, right in the chat. You never have to open a separate dashboard or type commands yourself.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Show my tunnels and which are online”, on your own computer the Pipepie MCP server works with pipepie on your computer, and you get back answers in your chat.

Re-send a webhook that was captured earlier
View step-by-step timelines of AI pipeline traces

Try asking your AI

“Show me all my tunnels and which ones are online”
“What webhooks came in for my-app in the last hour”
“Inspect request abc123 and show me the headers and body”
“Replay the last webhook that failed”
“Show me the timeline for the image-gen pipeline trace”

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat: lists of tunnels with their status, recent requests with timestamps, or the full details of one request. For pipeline traces, it shows a step-by-step timeline so you can see where things slowed down or broke. If you asked it to start, stop, or replay something, it tells you that the action was done.

Before you start

What you need

Pipepie installed on your computer (the pie command)
A Pipepie server set up somewhere, or access to one (the README shows a one-time setup wizard)
Your server connection saved with pie login
An AI tool that supports MCP, like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor

Good to know

It can start, stop, and delete tunnels, and replay webhooks, so ask your AI to confirm before doing anything that changes or removes your setup.

Install it with your AI

Add Pipepie MCP server to your AI, no technical skills needed

You don't install anything by hand. You copy one prompt, paste it into an AI that can work on your computer, and it checks, installs and connects the server for you, asking you when it needs something.

Sign in to get the install prompt

Members get a ready-made prompt that lets the Claude desktop app check Pipepie MCP server, install it and connect it for them, step by step. You don't need any technical skills: you copy, paste and answer a few questions. Your connected AI can also find and install any of the 4,066 MCP servers here for you.
