# Get a project

> A project: what it is (kind, and kind_reason saying why), where it runs (runs and production_url), what you set and what detection decides (setting and detected), its repository and root_dir, and its homepage, docs and other links.

<div class="g1t-endpoint"><span class="g1t-method" data-method="get">GET</span><code>/workspaces/{workspace}/projects/{project}</code></div>

A private repository's project is found only by those who can see the repository.

`404` for a project that does not exist or whose repository you cannot see. `setting` holds what a person set, each part null while it is left to detection. `ecosystem` is where a library's files say it is published (`composer`, `npm`, `cargo`, `go` or `python`), or null. See [What a project is](/guides/projects/#what-a-project-is).

- **Authentication:** Optional. Public data can be read without a token; send one to see what is private.
- **MCP tool:** [`workspace`](/reference/mcp/#workspace) with `action` `get_project`, and the same inputs
- **Scope:** An access token needs [`repo:read`](/guides/authentication/#scopes).

## Errors

A failed request answers with one of these statuses and a body like `{"error": {"code": "not_found", "message": "Repository not found."}}`. See [errors](/reference/api/#errors).

| Status | Code | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `unauthenticated` | A token is required, or the one sent is not valid. |
| 403 | `forbidden` | The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change or an agent token outside its repository. |
| 404 | `not_found` | It does not exist, or you cannot see it. |
| 422 | `invalid` | The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why. |
