+# InstaTunnel
+
+InstaTunnel is a secure localhost tunnel for developers who want a fast ngrok alternative.
+
+It helps you expose local apps, APIs, webhook endpoints, and MCP services over HTTPS in seconds.
+
+## Why developers choose InstaTunnel
+
+- Fast setup: tunnel your local app with one command
+- Custom subdomains: create memorable URLs on `instatunnel.my`
+- Dashboard analytics: inspect traffic and usage
+- Pro features: custom domains and MCP endpoint tunnels (beta)
+- MCP transport v2 streaming support for long-running responses
+- MCP security controls: staged token header + stricter MCP rate limits
+- Built for daily dev workflows: demos, QA, webhooks, mobile testing
+
+## InstaTunnel vs ngrok
+
+If you are searching for:
+- ngrok alternative
+- localhost tunnel alternative
+- free tunnel for webhook testing
+- custom subdomain tunneling tool
+
+InstaTunnel is designed for the same core use case with a simpler setup and strong defaults.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm install -g instatunnel
+```
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+# Auto-detect your local app
+instatunnel
+
+# Tunnel a specific local port
+instatunnel 3000
+
+# Use a custom subdomain
+instatunnel 3000 --subdomain myapp
+```
+
+## MCP tunnel support (Pro and Business)
+
+```bash
+# New users: start auth flow (verification email)
+instatunnel auth login -e you@example.com
+
+# Existing users: save API key locally
+instatunnel auth set-key "it_your_api_key"
+
+# PowerShell copy helper (Windows)
+Set-Clipboard "it_your_api_key"
+
+# MCP tunnel (default transport v1)
+instatunnel 8787 --mcp
+
+# MCP tunnel with streaming transport v2
+instatunnel 8787 --mcp --transport v2
+```
+
+Optional staged MCP token header (`X-InstaTunnel-MCP-Token`):
+
+```bash
+export INSTATUNNEL_MCP_TOKEN="your-shared-secret"
+instatunnel 8787 --mcp --transport v2
+```
+
+MCP notes:
+- v1 stays default for compatibility.
+- v2 is recommended for streaming MCP responses.
+- MCP traffic has dedicated protective limits.
+
+## Popular use cases

+- Localhost API sharing for frontend-backend integration
+- Webhook testing for Stripe, GitHub, Slack, and custom integrations
+- QA and client demos from local machines
+- Mobile device testing against local environments
