# Update an AI provider

> Change one of a workspace's AI providers: its name, its config (replaced whole when given) or its key (a new one replaces the old, write-only).

<div class="g1t-endpoint"><span class="g1t-method" data-method="patch">PATCH</span><code>/workspaces/{workspace}/ai/providers/{id}</code></div>

Use it to rotate a key. Fields left out are kept. Keys are never returned. Owners only.

The key is write-only. Use it to rotate a key: the new one replaces the old at once.

- **Authentication:** Required. Send an [access token](/reference/api/#authentication) as `Authorization: Bearer`.
- **MCP tool:** [`ai`](/reference/mcp/#ai) with `action` `update_provider`, and the same inputs
- **Scope:** An access token needs [`workspace:admin`](/guides/authentication/#scopes).
