Cloudflare Quick Tunnels Adds JSON Output Built for Coding Agents
deepakns · x · 2026-09-20
Cloudflare's Quick Tunnels now emits structured JSON output designed for coding agents. One command — cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:8000 — turns a localhost server into a public, encrypted URL on Cloudflare's edge in 3 seconds, with no account, DNS config, or open ports.
- JSON on stdout gives agents hostname, edge, and health data without regex-parsing logs
- Outbound-only connection with automatic HTTPS and edge DDoS filtering across 335+ cities
- Tunnels are ephemeral, dying with the process — nothing to revoke or clean up
- Use cases: pointing webhooks, eval harnesses, and reviewers at live URLs during agent build-test loops
