basemodo egress

Give an App an outgoing address of its own (dedicated), give it back (shared), or say where its traffic leaves from.

Terminal window
basemodo egress [OPTIONS] [dedicated|shared]

By default an App's outbound traffic leaves from Basemodo's shared addresses. A Dedicated Egress IP is an address of the App's own, for a partner's firewall to allowlist: a paid extra of a Workspace App, charged monthly on the Workspace's bill from now on, after its first 14 days. Shared gives it back and the charge stops. Only the App's Owner changes it.

Arguments

  • dedicated|shared: dedicated gives the App an outgoing address of its own (a paid extra of a Workspace App); shared gives it back. Without it, only show where its traffic leaves from.
  • --app <APP>: The App. Default: the one named after the current folder.

Like every command, it also takes the global options --json and --api-url.

Examples

Give the App of this folder an address of its own, and print it:

Terminal window
basemodo egress dedicated

Give it back to the shared pool:

Terminal window
basemodo egress shared --app crm

Say where an App's traffic leaves from:

Terminal window
basemodo egress --app crm --json

Output

With --json, it prints {"app", "pool" (shared, quarantine or dedicated), "address": {"v4", "v6"} (only while dedicated)}. A personal App is an error with code dedicated_ip_not_on_plan; a declined card, card_declined.

From an agent

The local MCP serves it as the tool egress. It changes things, so an agent's client may ask you before it runs. Its arguments are the command's, named as JSON keys: pool (text), app (text). It answers what the command prints with --json.
