# Get Tunnel

`GET /v1/tunnels/{tunnel_id}?beta=true`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.anthropic.com`
- URL: `https://api.anthropic.com/v1/tunnels/{tunnel_id}?beta=true`
- Auth: none declared
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/anthropics/apis/anthropic-api/docs/v1/tunnels/:tunnel_id%3Fbeta=true/get.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

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.

Fetches a tunnel by ID.

## Path parameters

- `tunnel_id` string, required

## Headers
