# Editing a Gateway

> Rename, re-scope, or delete an existing Gateway, and know when changes reach connected clients.

Editing a Gateway reuses the same screens as [creating one](/mcps/admin-controls/gateway-deployment-creation). A few things behave differently once a Gateway already exists and might be in active use: name uniqueness still applies, visibility changes only go one direction, and saved changes don't disrupt clients that are already connected.

<Note>
  Neither creating nor editing a Gateway warns you before you leave with unsaved changes. If you navigate away without saving, whatever you changed is discarded.
</Note>

## What you can change

| Change             | How                         | Constraint                                            |
| ------------------ | --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name**           | Back to app selection       | Must be unique across your whole tenant               |
| **Visibility**     | Back to app selection       | Personal to Tenant only, and one-way                  |
| **Apps and tools** | Back to app selection       | Removing an app drops all of its selected tools       |
| **Radar**          | Gateway List card or editor | Suggested once the Gateway crosses \~50 exposed tools |

## Open the editor

From your Gateway List, click into a Gateway or choose **Edit** from its menu. Unlike creation, this drops you straight into the credentials and tools view for the apps you've already added, skipping the name and app-selection screen.

<Tip>
  Use **Back to app selection** to rename the Gateway, change its visibility, or add and remove apps.
</Tip>

## Rename a Gateway

You can rename a Gateway at any time. The tenant-wide uniqueness rule from creation still applies: if you rename it to something another Gateway in your organization already uses, saving fails and you'll need to pick a different name.

## Change visibility

A Platform Admin or Security Admin can promote a Personal Gateway to Tenant, making it available to your whole organization.

This works in one direction only. Once a Gateway is Tenant level, it can't be changed back to Personal. See [Tenant vs. Personal Level Gateway Configs](/mcps/admin-controls/tenant-vs-personal-gateway-configs) for the full comparison before promoting one.

## Add or remove apps

Adding a new app walks you through the same credentials and tool selection as creation.

Removing an app is instant: it comes off the list, and every tool you had selected from it disappears from your Gateway's tool selection along with it.

<Warning>
  There's no confirmation prompt when you remove an app, though nothing is final until you save. If you're not sure you want to lose that app's tool selections, navigate away instead of saving rather than removing it and hoping to undo it later.
</Warning>

## How changes reach connected clients

Saving applies immediately to any new connection made to the Gateway. A client that's already connected keeps using the configuration it started with until it disconnects and reconnects, so someone mid-session won't see tools appear or disappear out from under them.

## Turn Radar on or off

The **Use Radar** switch on your Gateway List card can be flipped on or off directly from the list, without opening the editor. It takes effect immediately.

You can also turn it on from inside the editor, where Airia suggests it once your Gateway crosses around 50 exposed tools. See [Radar](/mcps/admin-controls/radar) for details.

## Delete a Gateway

You can delete a Gateway two ways: from the **Delete** option on its card menu in the Gateway List, or from the **Delete** button in the editor. Both ask you to confirm first.

Who can delete a Gateway depends on its visibility:

| Gateway visibility | Who can delete                       |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------ |
| **Personal**       | Only the user who created it         |
| **Tenant**         | Any Platform Admin or Security Admin |

<Warning>
  Deleting a Gateway is immediate and can't be undone. Nothing checks whether an MCP client is currently connected to it first, so confirm nothing depends on it before you delete it.
</Warning>
