# Rotate Tunnel Token

**POST** `/v1/organizations/tunnels/{tunnel_id}/rotate_token`

**Deprecated**

**Deprecated.** This Admin API endpoint is superseded by `/v1/tunnels` on the Claude API and will be removed after a migration window. New integrations should use [`/v1/tunnels`](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/beta/tunnels?sdk_languages=http) with the `anthropic-beta: mcp-tunnels-2026-06-22` header and a WIF token carrying the `workspace:manage_tunnels` scope. Existing integrations continue to work with the `mcp-tunnels-2026-05-19` header and `org:manage_tunnels` scope during the migration window.

Invalidate the tunnel's current token for new connections and return a fresh value.

Established connections are not severed by rotation; a connector
restarted after rotation must use the new value. An optional
`reason` is captured for operational context.

## Path parameters

- `tunnel_id: string`

  ID of the Tunnel.

## Headers

- `"anthropic-version": optional string`

  The version of the Claude API you want to use.

  Read more about versioning and our version history [here](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/versioning?sdk_languages=http).

- `"anthropic-beta": array of AnthropicBeta`

  This endpoint is in beta: requests must send `mcp-tunnels-2026-05-19` in this header.
