# Rotate Tunnel Token

`client.beta.tunnels.rotateToken(tunnelID, params, options?): BetaTunnelToken`

**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.

## Parameters

- `tunnelID: string` (path parameter)

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

- `params: TunnelRotateTokenParams`

  - `reason?: string | null`

    Optional free-text reason for the rotation, recorded for audit.

    maxLength: 1024

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

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

  - `workspace_id?: string` (header parameter)

    Optional header to select the Workspace for this request. The value is a Workspace ID (for example, `wrkspc_011CZkZaBF1tNoB5wlCeusgy`).

    Only needed for credentials that can act on more than one Workspace. A credential that belongs to a specific Workspace may omit it; if sent, it must match that Workspace.

## Returns

- `interface BetaTunnelToken`

  A tunnel's connector token.

  - `type: "tunnel_token"`

  - `id: string`

    Stable identifier for the current token value. Changes when the token is rotated.

  - `tunnel_token: string`

    The connector token used to run the tunnel. Treat as a credential.

## Example

```typescript
import Anthropic from "@anthropic-ai/sdk";

const client = new Anthropic({
  apiKey: process.env["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"] // This is the default and can be omitted
});

const betaTunnelToken = await client.beta.tunnels.rotateToken("tunnel_id");

console.log(betaTunnelToken.id);
```

### Response (200)

```json
{
  "id": "id",
  "tunnel_token": "tunnel_token",
  "type": "tunnel_token"
}
```
