**Python:** Call this endpoint over REST, as the example shows.

```python
import os

import requests

env_url = os.environ["SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL"]
token = requests.post(
    f"{env_url}/oauth/token",
    data={
        "grant_type": "client_credentials",
        "client_id": os.environ["SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID"],
        "client_secret": os.environ["SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET"],
    },
).json()["access_token"]

response = requests.get(
    f"{env_url}/api/v1/mcp/configs/cfg_85630864460904897",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"},
)
response.raise_for_status()
result = response.json()
```

**Node.js SDK:** `scalekit.actions.mcp.getConfig`

Fetches a single MCP configuration by ID.

```ts
scalekit.actions.mcp.getConfig(
  configId: string,
): Promise<GetMcpConfigResponse>
```

Example:

```ts
const result = await scalekit.actions.mcp.getConfig("cfg_85630864460904897");
```

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `configId` | `string` | Yes | ID of the configuration to fetch (`cfg_...`). |

Returns `Promise<GetMcpConfigResponse>`.
