# Promote an unnamed environment

> Give an UNNAMED (ad-hoc) environment a name, promoting it IN PLACE — the same environment, now a permanent entry in the project's list, with the same id every existing run still points at.

The ONLY promotion path. `PATCH /environments/{environmentId}` renames an already-named environment and is admin-gated; this is member-gated and refuses a row that already has a name (`409`). The platform keeps them apart on purpose: routing promotion through the rename would either open it to members or leave ad-hoc rows unnameable.

Promotion also drops the content fingerprint, because a named environment is mutable: keeping it would let a later identical composition deduplicate onto a row that has since been edited into something else.

  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.
