# Get a workspace

> One workspace you belong to: its name, description and member count, what every member gets on each of its repositories (base_permission), who may create its teams (team_creation: members or owners), its member privileges (members_can_create_public_repositories, members_can_create_private_repositories, members_can_change_repo_visibility, members_can_delete_repositories, members_can_invite_outside_collaborators), and whether it requires two-factor authentication (two_factor_requirement_enabled).

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

Members only.

`team_creation` is who may create its teams: `members` (any member, the default) or `owners`. The `members_can_…` fields are its [member privileges](/guides/workspaces/#member-privileges), and `two_factor_requirement_enabled` whether it [requires two-factor authentication](/guides/authentication/#require-two-factor-authentication). Change it, and the rest, with [`PATCH /workspaces/{workspace}`](/reference/api/workspaces/update-workspace/). `404` for anyone who is not a member. See [Workspaces](/guides/workspaces/).

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

## Path parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `workspace` | string | Yes | The workspace's slug, e.g. "flagon-io". |

## 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. |
