# Certificates

## Create Tunnel Certificate

`client.beta.tunnels.certificates.create(tunnelID, params, options?): 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` (path parameter)

  ID of the tunnel (`tnl_...`).

- `params: CertificateCreateParams`

  - `ca_certificate_pem: string`

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

    maxLength: 8192

  - `betas?: Array<AnthropicBeta>` (header parameter)

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

## Archive Tunnel Certificate

`client.beta.tunnels.certificates.archive(certificateID, params, options?): BetaTunnelCertificate`

**POST** `/v1/tunnels/{tunnel_id}/certificates/{certificate_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 certificate, removing it from the set Anthropic trusts for the tunnel. The certificate record is retained. Archiving the last non-archived certificate is permitted; the tunnel rejects MCP traffic until a new certificate is added.

### Parameters

- `certificateID: string` (path parameter)

  ID of the certificate to archive (`tcrt_...`).

- `params: CertificateArchiveParams`

  - `tunnel_id: string` (path parameter)

    ID of the tunnel (`tnl_...`).
