front-proxy runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 104 installs a week from npm. Last commit 8 Oct 2026.
Map local domains (and HTTPS) to apps on local ports, OS-wide, via /etc/hosts and a reverse proxy.
What the code does

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.
execFileSync(this.mkcertPath, ['-install'], { stdio: 'inherit' });

This code can reach further than it looks
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.
