Hookdeck CLI

Using the Hookdeck CLI, you can forward your events (e.g. webhooks) to your local web server with unlimited free and permanent event URLs. Your event history is preserved between sessions and can be viewed, replayed, or used for testing by you and your teammates.

Hookdeck CLI is compatible with most of Hookdeck's features, such as filtering and fan-out delivery. You can use Hookdeck CLI to develop or test your event (e.g. webhook) integration code locally.

You can also manage Hookdeck Event Gateway resources—sources, destinations, connections, events, transformations—from the CLI. For AI and agent workflows, the Event Gateway MCP server (hookdeck gateway mcp) exposes these capabilities as tools in MCP-compatible clients (e.g. Cursor, Claude).

Although it uses a different approach and philosophy, it's a replacement for ngrok and alternative HTTP tunnel solutions.

Hookdeck for development is completely free, and we monetize the platform with our production offering.
