Stdio MCP Tunnels: Connecting Mobile/Cloud Agents to iMsg/WhatsApp/Linkedin

Many members of our team were users of Beeper, a "unified inbox" for chat networks like WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, Slack, LinkedIn DMs, etc, and wanted to expose this to our agents. However, we quickly ran into the issue where the Beeper MCP server requires the Beeper desktop app running locally and cannot connect via cloud agents.

This meant that any cloud/mobile agents (like Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Devin) not running on our laptops/devices with Beeper desktop installed could not access the Beeper MCP. This significantly limited many of the automations we wanted to build with Beeper MCP, some examples being:

Syncing LinkedIn DMs with CRM

Lurking on Large Community Group Chats and looking for insights

Automating repetitive messaging workflows

We built a mechanism for these cloud/mobile agents to be able to connect to Beeper, love to know how you find it!
