# Editing a Gateway

Editing an existing Gateway reuses the same screens as [creating one](/mcps/admin-controls/gateway-deployment-creation), but a few things work differently once a Gateway already exists and might be in active use.

## Opening 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 past the name and app-selection screen. Use **Back to app selection** if you need to rename the Gateway, change its visibility, or add and remove apps.

## Renaming

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

## Changing Visibility

A Personal Gateway can be promoted to Tenant by a Platform Admin or Security Admin, making it available to your whole organization. This only works in one direction: 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.

## Adding and Removing Apps

Adding a new app to an existing Gateway 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 your changes 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.

## Radar

The **Use Radar** switch on your Gateway List card can be flipped on or off directly from the list, without opening the editor at all. It takes effect immediately. You can also turn it on from inside the editor, where Airia will suggest it once your Gateway crosses around 50 exposed tools. See [Radar](/mcps/admin-controls/radar) for details.

## Deleting a Gateway

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

Who can delete a Gateway depends on its visibility: a Personal Gateway can only be deleted by the Platform Admin or Security Admin who created it, and a Tenant Gateway can be deleted by any Platform Admin or Security Admin.

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

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