POST /api/v1/searchPOST /api/v1/fuzzy (typo-tolerant)Expose your local File Finder to your phone or team members worldwide. Connects through Cloudflare Mumbai/Delhi edge without port-forwarding or $20/mo subscriptions.
https://*.tunnel.shambhaviailabs.commanifest.json SpecificationWhy manifest.json is critical: it turns Shambhavi File Finder from an isolated binary into an enterprise plug-and-play extension for Raycast, Flow Launcher, Alfred, and custom agent toolchains.
manifest.json?It is the standard machine-readable contract that declares the executable's commands, capabilities, global hotkeys, JSON-RPC schemas, and hardware security posture.
Third-party developers, system integrators, and AI orchestrators do not need to guess CLI flags or API routes. They simply read manifest.json to register file search, fuzzy matching, and REST ingress instantly.
