Create Tunnel Certificate

client.beta.tunnels.certificates.create(stringtunnelID, CertificateCreateParamsparams, RequestOptionsoptions?): BetaTunnelCertificate
POST/v1/tunnels/{tunnel_id}/certificates

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.

Registers a public CA certificate on a tunnel. Anthropic verifies the gateway's server certificate against this CA when it terminates the inner TLS session. A tunnel holds at most two non-archived certificates.

Parameters
tunnelID: string
params: CertificateCreateParams { ca_certificate_pem, betas }
ca_certificate_pem: string

Body param: PEM-encoded X.509 CA certificate. Must contain exactly one certificate and no private-key material. Maximum 8KB.

maxLength8192
betas?: Array<AnthropicBeta>

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