Skill instructions
Tunnel MCP Use scripts/tunnelmcp from this plugin when a user asks Codex to manage MCP tunnels through tunnel-client. The plugin entrypoint is a thin router onto the public native tunnel-client runtimes ... and tunnel-client admin-profiles ... command trees. When the tunnel-mcp MCP app tools are available, use them first instead of manual shell routing: - installorselecttunnelclient - createtunnelruntime - connectstdiomcp - listruntimealiases - runtimestatus - stopruntime The app tools are an operator surface over native tunnel-client; they orchestrate tunnel-client runtimes ..., normalize structured output, and keep tunnel protocol/runtime behavior in the Go binary. Before acting, consult only the smallest relevant reference under references/: - references/binary.md: how to find or obtain a public-safe tunnel-client binary - references/setup-and-install.md: install, export, reset, binary-vs-bundle setup - references/profiles-state-and-keys.md: profiles, state dirs, admin/runtime key s
