BrewPage vs CORS Proxy

BrewPage

BrewPage is a free, account-less content host: a POST to endpoints like brewpage.app/api/html turns HTML, Markdown, JSON, key-value pairs, or a whole multi-file site into a short public URL, protected by an anonymous owner token instead of a login. Pages default to a 15-day TTL (30-day max) and can be password-protected, and the project ships both an MCP server (brewpage-mcp on npm) and a Claude Code plugin for programmatic publishing.

CORS Proxy

CORS Proxy is a small open-source Node.js server (54 GitHub stars) that forwards a POST request's urlToGet body param to the target URL server-side and relays the response back with permissive CORS headers, sidestepping browser CORS errors for GET-able resources. It is a deploy-it-yourself utility, not a hosted service — the README's old Heroku demo link is dead since Heroku retired free dynos in 2022, so it only works once cloned and deployed to your own host.
