Developer Tools & IT
What the Ngrok connector can do
Ngrok creates a secure path from the public internet to an app running on a developer's own machine, so a webhook or local service can be reached without extra network setup. With an Ngrok connection in a type.com Space, the agent can open tunnels, issue credentials, and register endpoints while the whole team watches the same thread for status and URLs.
One connection, many Spaces
Connect Ngrok once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.
What teams do with Ngrok in type.com
Open a tunnel for a demo
Ask the agent to create a new endpoint when a teammate needs an outside reviewer to reach a local build without deploying first.
Create an Ngrok endpoint for my local dev server on port 3000 so the design team can review it today.
Issue fresh API credentials
Generate a new Ngrok API key when a script or CI job needs its own credential instead of reusing a personal one.
Create a new Ngrok API key for the deploy pipeline and post it only to the admin channel.
Watch for tunnel and endpoint events
Set up an event source and subscription so the Space gets notified when a tunnel starts, stops, or an endpoint changes.
Create an Ngrok event subscription that tells us whenever a tunnel for the staging app goes offline.
Representative actions
- Create API Key
Generates a new ngrok API key so a script, teammate, or CI job can authenticate without sharing an existing credential.
- Create Tunnel Credential
Issues a fresh authtoken so an ngrok agent can start a tunnel session; the token is shown only once.
- Create Endpoint
Sets up a cloud endpoint with its own traffic policy for routing incoming HTTP requests.
- Create Event Source
Adds an event type to an existing subscription so more ngrok account changes trigger a notification.
- Create Event Subscription
Registers a new subscription so the Space is notified when chosen ngrok events occur.
Connection

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting Ngrok
Can Claude manage Ngrok tunnels directly?
Yes. Once an Ngrok connection is shared with a type.com Space, you can ask the agent in a thread to open a tunnel, create an endpoint, or check tunnel credentials, and the output stays visible to the team.
How does type.com authenticate with Ngrok?
Ngrok uses an API key. An admin adds it once when setting up the connection, then picks which Spaces can use it, so nobody pastes a key into a prompt.
Can I get alerted when an Ngrok tunnel changes?
Yes. Ask the agent to create an event subscription for tunnel or endpoint changes, then turn the check into a type.com automation that posts updates to a channel on a schedule.
Is this the same as an MCP server for Ngrok?
Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
