# Archive Tunnel

POST /v1/organizations/tunnels/{tunnel_id}/archive

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 This Admin API endpoint is superseded by /v1/tunnels on the Claude API and will be removed after a migration window.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 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.

Archive a tunnel. Archival is irreversible.

Every non-archived certificate on the tunnel is archived in the same operation, the hostname is retired and never re-allocated, and the tunnel token is invalidated. Retrying against an already-archived tunnel returns the existing record unchanged.

# Path parameters

tunnel_id: string

ID of the Tunnel.

# Headers

"anthropic-beta": array of AnthropicBeta

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