# Create an eval run (async)

> Creates a suite run from an existing `suiteId` (rerun) and/or inline `tests`, then **detaches execution and responds `202` immediately** with the `runId`. Validation and quota errors surface on this request; poll `GET /eval-runs/{runId}` for progress. The run appears live in the hosted UI Runs tab, tagged `source: "api"`.

A bare `suiteId` with no inline tests reruns the suite as configured. Per-organization concurrency is capped (default 2 concurrent runs); exceeding it returns `429` with `details.reason: "CONCURRENT_RUN_LIMIT"`.

    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.
