# Pipehero

> Webhook tunnels and an API workspace for developers. Expose your localhost on a public URL, then inspect, replay and debug every webhook with your team. Document, test and monitor your API in saved collections that stay true to real traffic, kept current by your AI agent over MCP.

Pipehero has two halves that share one workspace. The tunnel captures real requests (Stripe, GitHub, Shopify or any HTTP webhook), verifies provider signatures, captures events while your CLI is offline and ships an MCP server so AI agents can read and replay them. The API workspace turns that traffic into documentation and a test client.

## API workspace (documentation, testing and monitoring)
- [API workspace](https://pipehero.app/api-workspace): saved endpoints with real request/response examples, environments (local, staging, prod), runs from the browser, the cloud or the desktop app, and an AI agent that keeps the docs current. A Postman-style API client and API documentation tool connected to real traffic.
- [API workspace docs](https://pipehero.app/docs/apis): environments and variables, running requests (localhost via the tunnel, staging/prod from the cloud, direct from the desktop app), import and export (OpenAPI 3.x, Postman v2.x, cURL, HAR), saving requests from the live tail as docs, drift detection, scheduled monitors with email alerts, version history and restore, comments and review of AI changes (Team), and the plan table.
- [Import OpenAPI and Postman](https://pipehero.app/api-workspace/import-openapi-postman): Bring an OpenAPI file, a Postman collection, a cURL command or a browser capture into shared docs, without your credentials.
- [Local, staging and production](https://pipehero.app/api-workspace/api-environments): Send the same request to local, staging and production, with variables, secrets and a second click before writing to prod.
- [Document your API from real traffic](https://pipehero.app/api-workspace/document-api-from-traffic): Save a real request from your tunnel as an endpoint or an example in one click, with credentials removed.
- [API drift detection](https://pipehero.app/api-workspace/api-drift-detection): Compare your docs with what a tunnel really captured and see undocumented routes, statuses and fields.
- [Scheduled API monitoring](https://pipehero.app/api-workspace/api-monitoring): Run an endpoint every few minutes and get an email when it starts failing, and when it recovers.
- [Keep API docs current with AI](https://pipehero.app/api-workspace/ai-api-documentation): Your AI agent updates the docs over MCP as you change routes, every change is attributed, and Team can approve first.
- [API client for your desktop](https://pipehero.app/api-workspace/api-client-desktop): Send requests straight from your computer to localhost or a private network, with no tunnel, no cloud and no CORS.
- [API docs for teams](https://pipehero.app/api-workspace/api-team-collaboration): Version history with authors, comments, approval of AI changes, and sharing outside the workspace.
- Import: OpenAPI 3.x (JSON or YAML), Postman collections, cURL commands and browser captures (HAR). Export: OpenAPI 3.1 and Postman 2.1.
- Drift detection compares the docs with the requests a tunnel really captured and lists undocumented routes, status codes and fields (Pro/Team). Scheduled monitors run an endpoint every 5 minutes to 24 hours and email when it starts failing (Pro/Team).
- MCP tools for agents: list_api_collections, get_api_collection, get_api_endpoint, upsert_api_endpoint, add_api_example, delete_api_endpoint, import_api_spec, export_api_collection, run_api_endpoint, list_api_runs, save_captured_request, check_api_drift, list_api_monitors, list_api_proposals, get_api_share_link, share_api_endpoint, share_api_collection. Every agent change is attributed and can be restored; Team workspaces can require approval first.
- Plans: Free 1 collection and 25 endpoints; Pro 10 collections, 500 endpoints, cloud runs, drift and 5 monitors; Team unlimited collections and endpoints, 50 monitors, review of AI changes and comments.
