The problem

Your coding agent can write the whole application. It cannot host it, because hosting needs a server, a domain, a certificate, and a login system. So people reach for whatever is fastest, and that is where things go wrong: a public URL with no sign in, an API key committed by accident, or auth bolted on at the end by someone who has never written auth.

unlocalhost closes that gap. You say one sentence to the agent you already have open, and you get back a real URL with a guest list in front of it.

you    deploy this and let sarah@gmail.com in

agent  pushed your code to a private repo
agent  building
agent  live at sarahs-todo.unlocalhost.tech
agent  sarah@gmail.com can sign in and open it

How it works

You add unlocalhost to your coding agent as an MCP server and sign in once with GitHub.
You tell the agent to deploy, and name who is allowed in.
Your agent pushes the code using your own git credentials. unlocalhost never holds write access to anything.
We clone read only, scan for committed secrets and refuse to continue if we find any, then build and run it.
Visitors sign in with GitHub or Google. Their verified email is checked against the guest list before the request ever reaches your app.

What makes it different

	Tunnel (ngrok)	Platform (Vercel)	unlocalhost
Survives closing laptop	No	Yes	Yes
Private by default	No	No	Yes
Auth you have to write	All of it	All of it	None
Runs on your own server	No	No	Yes

Quick start

claude mcp add unlocalhost -- npx -y @unlocalhost/unlocalhost

Or in any MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unlocalhost": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@unlocalhost/unlocalhost"]
    }
  }
}

Then ask your agent to sign in to unlocalhost, and deploy.

Self hosting

The hosted service runs this exact code. Nothing is held back, there is no phone home, and no license check.

git clone https://github.com/info-arnav/unlocalhost.git
cd unlocalhost/deploy
cp .env.example .env      # fill it in
docker compose --env-file .env run --rm migrate
docker compose --env-file .env up -d

You need a domain with wildcard DNS, a DNS provider API token for wildcard TLS, a GitHub App, and a Google OAuth client. The full walkthrough is in docs/server-setup.md.

Architecture
