Archive Tunnel

$ ant beta:tunnels archive

POST/v1/tunnels/{tunnel_id}/archive

The Tunnels API is in research preview. It requires the anthropic-beta: mcp-tunnels-2026-06-22 header and may change without a deprecation period. It supersedes the Admin API endpoints at /v1/organizations/tunnels, which remain available during a migration window.

Archives a tunnel. Archival is irreversible: every non-archived certificate on the tunnel is archived in the same operation, the hostname is retired and never re-allocated, and the tunnel token is invalidated. Retrying against an already-archived tunnel returns the existing record unchanged.

Parameters

--tunnel-id: string

Path parameter tunnel_id

--beta: optional array of AnthropicBeta

Optional header to specify the beta version(s) you want to use.

Returns

beta_tunnel: object{ id, archived_at, created_at, 3 more }

An MCP tunnel.

id: string

Unique identifier for the tunnel, prefixed with tnl_.

archived_at: string

A timestamp in RFC 3339 format

formatdate-time

created_at: string

A timestamp in RFC 3339 format

formatdate-time

display_name: string

Human-readable name for the tunnel (1-255 characters). Null if unset.

domain: string

Anthropic-assigned hostname for the tunnel. MCP server URLs whose host is a subdomain of this value are routed through the tunnel. Globally unique and never reused, even after the tunnel is archived.

type: "tunnel"
