# Create Tunnel Certificate
**POST** `/v1/organizations/tunnels/{tunnel_id}/certificates`
**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**Deprecated.** This Admin API endpoint is superseded by `/v1/tunnels` on the Claude API and will be removed after a migration window.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.
Register a public CA certificate for the tunnel.
Anthropic verifies the gateway's server certificate against this CA
when it terminates the inner TLS session. The PEM body must contain
exactly one X.509 certificate and no private-key material. A tunnel
holds at most two non-archived certificates.
## Path parameters
- `tunnel_id: string`
ID of the Tunnel.
## Headers
- `"anthropic-beta": array of AnthropicBeta`
