# CLI reference

The Ensue CLI for receiving events on your local development environment is coming soon.

> [!NOTE]
> The Ensue CLI is **coming soon**. This page will hold its command reference once it ships.

The CLI will forward events from Ensue to a server running on your machine, so you can build and debug a webhook handler without a public URL or a tunnel.

```bash
# Planned usage; not available yet
ensue listen 9000 stripe
```

## Until then

You can already develop against a real source today:

- Point a [source](/gateway/sources/) at any public request inspector, or at a tunnel you run yourself, and create a [flow](/gateway/flows/) to it.
- Use **Send test event** on the source to push a sample through without involving the sender.
- Read the [Gateway quickstart](/gateway/quickstart/) for the full walkthrough, and the [API reference](/api-reference/introduction/) to script the same steps.
