# Archive Tunnel

`POST /v1/organizations/tunnels/{tunnel_id}/archive?beta=true`

> **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**Deprecated.** This Admin API endpoint is superseded by `/v1/tunnels` on the Claude API and will be removed after a migration window.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`](/docs/en/api/beta/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, required — ID of the Tunnel.

## Headers

- `anthropic-beta` string, required — This endpoint is in beta: requests must send `mcp-tunnels-2026-05-19` in this header.
- `anthropic-version` string — The version of the Claude API you want to use. Read more about versioning and our version history [here](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/versioning).

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- BetaOrganizationTunnel
  - `archived_at` string, date-time, nullable, required — RFC 3339 datetime string indicating when the Tunnel was archived, or `null` if it is not archived.

  - `display_name` string, nullable, required — Human-readable name for the Tunnel (1–255 characters), or `null` if unset.
  - `domain` string, required — Anthropic-assigned hostname for the Tunnel. MCP server URLs whose host is a subdomain of this value are routed through the Tunnel. Globally unique and never reused, even after the Tunnel is archived.
