LocalCan 3.0 Beta 8 is released! What's new: Access Control: Add password protection, secret links, or IP rules to any Public URL. Enforced server-side, so your protection stays active even when your laptop is off. Works with Snapshots too. Available in subscription plans.

LocalCan 3.0 beta.6 is out. Your AI agent can now drive LocalCan over MCP: → "expose port 3000" and it hands back a Public URL → "why did this webhook fail?" and it reads the actual request your app received → pause, resume, or remove URLs when it's done

LocalCan™ @localcan.com · 12/06/2026

A webhook fired while your local server was down? Until now that request was just gone. LocalCan 3.0 beta 5 captures the full request body on those 502s, so you can inspect and replay what you missed once your server is back up. Also: fixes for 2.x migration + UI polish.

We took an MCP server from localhost stdio to live in Claude on a phone, and wrote down every step. TypeScript, Streamable HTTP, a real cert, no deploy. How to do the same 👇

🆓 LocalCan 3.0 beta 2 is here with a Free mode! Local domains (.local), and traffic inspection now work with no license - free for local-only dev. Enjoy! Release notes in comments 👇

4. One service, multiple URLs A `.local` domain for working offline. A `*.localcan.dev` URL for ad-hoc sharing. A custom domain for stakeholders. All at the same time, each with its own header rewrites and basic-auth rules.

3. Global edge network v2 routed Public URLs through single region (Amsterdam). 3.0 ships behind a global edge network - the tunnel picks the closest reachable edge automatically. Faster page loads, snappier APIs, no demos stuck behind 300ms round trips.

LocalCan™ @localcan.com · 07/05/2026

2. Configuration as code Your projects are now plain YAML files under `~/.localcan/projects/`. Hand-editable, version-control friendly, hot-reloaded with `localcan reload`. The desktop UI reads and writes the same files.

LocalCan™ @localcan.com · 07/05/2026

1. A real CLI (and AI agents can drive it) `localcan http 3000` opens a Public URL in your terminal with a live request log. Every command speaks JSON, so an agent can scaffold your app and hand you a preview link with no human in the loop.

Continuing the work on (1) editing domains, (2) adding Basic Auth, and (3) the ability to set custom request headers. The latter will allow passing requests to another proxy like Laravel Herd. Which feature would be the most useful to you?
