    Hi confuzed​,

    Thanks for reaching out. thanks for the feedback, I'll send this along to the team.  In the mean time as a work around you can use the following to retrieve the JSON version of the server info:

    op connect server get "Demo Server" --format json

    it will come back like this

    ➜  Connect op connect server get "Demo Server" --format json
{
  "id": "TRMT2AZWWRE65JAHY{REDACTED}",
  "name": "demo SErver",
  "state": "ACTIVE",
  "created_at": "2025-06-27T16:05:12Z",
  "creator_id": "FIVA23HWMBETFC{REDACTED}",
  "tokens_version": 1
}

    Let us know if you need more help!  

    All the best, 

    Phil

Hi confuzed​ 

Ah, got it! Makes sense. Ok I have created a ticket on your behalf here. https://github.com/1Password/connect/issues/103 

For your use case, does it make sense to have servers with the same human readable name created or should we return an error / warning back to the script/user?

Thanks!

Phil
