modelriver forward

Forward webhooks to localhost using your saved configuration. One command to start receiving production events locally.

Overview

The forward command uses your saved configuration (from modelriver login) to forward production webhook events to your local development server. It's the simplest way to test webhook integrations locally.

Usage

Bash

# Simple: uses saved config from login
modelriver forward
 
# Override port
modelriver forward --port 4001
 
# Verbose output
modelriver forward --verbose

Prerequisites

Before using forward, run modelriver login to configure:

API Key: Your ModelRiver API key
Forward URL: Where to send webhooks (e.g., http://localhost:4000/webhook/modelriver)

Options

Option	Description
`--port <number>`	Override the port in forward URL
