Rotate Tunnel Token

POST/v1/tunnels/{tunnel_id}/rotate_token

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.

Rotates a tunnel's connector token. Rotation invalidates the current token for new connections and returns a fresh value; established connections are not severed. A connector restarted after rotation must use the new value.
