# Publish an environment for user testing

> PUT, not POST, because publishing is IDEMPOTENT: one scenario per environment, and publishing an already-published environment returns the existing one rather than minting a second. `created` says which happened.

Requires project ADMIN.

  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.

      Project environments: named, live-editable execution bundles (one host, an
      optional standalone server group, optionally pinned skills and plugin

      Headless agent turns over the public API: send a message history, the

      reads + suite creation) on a pinned hosted model, and returns the reply
      plus created-resource references.

            link ROTATION is deliberately not one of them: it mints a new URL
            without bumping this, so anyone who already redeemed the old link
            keeps working. Rotating is half of closing a leak — see the
            rotate-link operation.
