# Update Server Handler

`PUT /api/mcp/servers/{name}`

Update an existing MCP server.

## Path parameters

- `name` string, required

## Request body

- UpdateServerRequest — Request to update an MCP server.
  - `config` MCPServerConfig, required — MCP server configuration matching Cursor schema.
    - `command` string, nullable
    - `args` string[]
    - `env` object
    - `url` string, nullable
    - `headers` object
    - `oauth` MCPOAuthClientConfig — An OAuth client Qualia was given, rather than one it registered itself. RFC 7591 dynamic client registration is how a remote MCP server normally gets a client identity here: the SDK registers one at connect time and stores what comes back. Some authorization servers do not offer it at all — GitHub's remote MCP server, Slack's, and Microsoft Entra, which requires the customer to register their own app — and against those the handshake fails during registration, before a browser ever opens. Naming a client that is already registered is the way through (QUA-3219).
      - `client_id` string, required
      - `client_secret` string, nullable
      - `redirect_uri` string, nullable
    - `enabled` boolean
    - `tool_call_timeout_seconds` number
    - `startup_timeout_seconds` number
    - `tool_permissions` object
  - `new_name` string, nullable
