# Rotate or re-bind a secret

> Rotate the value and/or change how it is delivered. A rotation reaches NEW RUNS ONLY: a session already running holds the old value — materialized in its box's environment, or inside an egress policy that cannot be read back — and there is no safe way to replace it mid-run.

  title: MCPJam API
  version: 1.0.0-preview
  description: >-
    Programmatic access to MCP servers saved in your MCPJam projects — live
    diagnostics (validate, inspect, export) and operations: call tools, render
    prompts, run eval suites asynchronously and poll their results, and import
    OAuth tokens.


    **The API is in preview**: the surface may change while we finish the
    design. Error `code` values are stable; error `message` strings are not.
    Write clients that ignore unknown response fields.

tags:
  - name: Clients
    description: >-
      Clients — the named, reusable configurations that define how MCPJam
      connects to and talks to your MCP servers. The original `/hosts` paths
      remain as deprecated, ID-only compatibility aliases with their original
      DTOs and their original (tokenless) write contracts; every alias response
      carries `Deprecation: true`. New integrations should use `/clients`.
  - name: Environments
    description: >-
      Project environments: named, live-editable execution bundles (one host, an
      optional standalone server group, optionally pinned skills and plugin
      versions) that eval suites and journeys run against. Distinct from Sandbox
      images, which are Computer base images. Reads require project membership;
      every write requires project admin.
  - name: Plugins
    description: >-
      Agent Plugins imported into a project — read-only inventory and version
      detail.
  - name: Skills
    description: >-
      Cloud Skills: authored SKILL.md files stored in a project. Read-only here.
      Environments pin skills by id (`skillSelection.skillIds`) and eval runs
      pin them with `--compose-skill`, so this surface exists to give an
      unattended caller those ids; authoring is an app flow behind a beta gate.
  - name: Sandbox images
    description: >-
      Custom Computer images: a digest-pinned Dockerfile built into an immutable
      image your project's computers boot from.
  - name: Server diagnostics
    description: Connect-level health checks against a saved MCP server.
  - name: Primitives

  - name: Export
    description: Full-server snapshots for diffing and CI.
  - name: Execution
    description: 'Run the server''s primitives: call tools, render prompts.'
  - name: Eval runs
    description: >-
      Asynchronous eval suite runs: create with 202, poll status, iterations,
      and traces.
  - name: Conformance runs
    description: >-
      Ingest MCP spec-conformance results from the SDK/CLI into project-owned
      history. Distinct from Eval runs (authored LLM cases) and from directory
      readiness.
  - name: Server connections
    description: >-
      Connect an MCP server URL to a project, authorizing in a browser when the
      server requires it.
  - name: OAuth
    description: 'Bring-your-own OAuth: import externally obtained tokens for a server.'
  - name: Scenarios
    description: >-
      Read-only access to the scenarios published from a project: listing,
      settings, attached servers, and share links.
  - name: Catalog
    description: >-
      Discover the resources the other routes operate on: your account,
      projects, servers, eval suites, and chat sessions.
  - name: Tunnels
    description: >-
      Relay tunnels that expose local MCP servers through a public URL,
      registered as first-class project servers (the `mcpjam cloud tunnel` CLI
      flow).
  - name: Agent
    description: >-
      Headless agent turns over the public API: send a message history, the
      server runs one assistant turn with project-scoped workspace tools (eval
      reads + suite creation) on a pinned hosted model, and returns the reply
      plus created-resource references.
  - name: Swarms
    description: >-
      Personas, journeys and swarm containers — the authoring half of Swarms —
      plus the model-backed generation that drafts them.
  - name: Swarm runs
    description: >-
      Launching journeys and reading what they produced. Launching SPENDS — see
      the per-operation notes.
  - name: Swarm insights
    description: >-
      What a swarm run revealed. The scorecard and findings are deterministic
      and free; requesting wave insights runs models and draws on your shared
      daily ledger.
  - name: User testing
    description: >-
      Publishing an environment for real visitors, and controlling who can reach
      it. Several of these NARROW access and take effect immediately.
  - name: Directory readiness
    description: >-
      Grade a saved server against a publisher's listing requirements:
      Anthropic's connector directory or OpenAI's plugin directory. Reported as
      lane status and coverage, never as a numeric score, and excluded from
      `pooledConformanceScore`. Deterministic grading is free; model-backed
      experience observations are an explicit opt-in that consumes MCPJam
      credits and can never decide a verdict.
  - name: Registry
    description: >-
      Search the scraped MCP directories (Claude, ChatGPT, and any future
      source), list curated/org registry cards, and install them into a project.
      Install writes a `servers` row and provenance — it does not open a live
      session. There is no catalog-uninstall route: delete the project server
      instead. Directory reads require a bearer (including minted guest tokens)
      but do not materialize a user. Card/connection reads and all writes are
      authed-non-guest.

            while the policy is live, and it works for HTTPS APIs only (domain
            rules bind on ports 80/443). `materialized` — a real environment
            variable inside the box, which is the only thing a CLI can read;
