+A client whose config still holds the instance admin API key (or no credential, or a revoked or expired one) is reported on the Clients page with a warning and by `mcpproxy doctor`. Nothing is rewritten automatically. **Upgrade clients holding the admin key** (Clients page, or `mcpproxy client upgrade-admin-key-holders`) previews, then replaces the admin key in every such client's config with a per-client credential; afterwards rotate the admin API key, which the action offers as its last step only once no client holds the key any more. If some clients could not be upgraded, the dialog lists what succeeded and what failed, withholds the rotate step (rotating would break the failed clients) and offers Try again; only clients that still hold the admin key are changed on a retry. A client without an active client credential cannot be bound to a profile until it is connected with one.
 
 The credential is shown masked everywhere except the single moment it is created for a custom client. It is valid on MCP endpoints only; a client can never use it to read activity, config or other clients over REST.
