Mcptunnels – ngrok for MCP with basic OAuth
Give a local MCP server a public URL with one command. No accounts, no signup — anonymous, ephemeral, OAuth 2.1-protected tunnels for MCP servers.

In plain words
Mcptunnels provides a one-command way to expose local MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to the public internet via anonymous, temporary tunnels. Users run a single command to generate a public URL secured with an auto-generated password, with no account signup or configuration required. The tool bridges stdio-based MCP servers to HTTP and works with clients like ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor, which automatically discover the OAuth 2.1 authentication flow. Self-hosting is also supported.

From the sources
mcptunnel expose -- <your MCP server> spawns any stdio MCP server, bridges it to Streamable HTTP, and prints a public URL. Nothing to deploy. No signup, no login, no config files. The hosted relay at t-mcptunnels.terragohan.com is the default — or self-host your own tunneld . Public endpoints are gated behind a password the CLI generates. Clients like ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor discover the OAuth flow automatically. --no-auth for open URLs. Tunnels live for 24 hours, then they’re gone. Ctrl-C deletes the tunnel server-side immediately — the URL and password die with your process. Generic tunnels forward raw TCP/HTTP. mcptunnels is MCP-shaped.

This project started when we did what everyone was doing — building a remote MCP server and launching it. Building the first local MCP server for testing was quite simple, and we had our first tools ready within a day. The next step was turning that into a production-ready remote MCP server. As we exposed the MCP server to our users, we wanted to authenticate them with our existing authentication methods. We dove deep into authentication. Our approach was to build an auth proxy and plug it in front…
