# Get a chatbox

`GET /projects/{projectId}/chatboxes/{chatboxId}`

One chatbox's full read-only settings: model, system prompt, tool-approval policy, attached servers, and share link. A chatbox that exists but belongs to a different project reads as `404 NOT_FOUND`.

## Path parameters

- `projectId` string, required
- `chatboxId` string, required

## Response `200`

The chatbox settings.

- ChatboxDetail — A chatbox's full read-only settings: the summary fields plus the host execution config and resolved servers.
  - `id` string, required
  - `projectId` string, nullable
  - `name` string, required
  - `description` string, nullable
  - `mode` 'project_members' | 'invited_only' | 'anyone_with_link' | 'null', nullable — Who can use the chatbox.
  - `hostStyle` string, nullable — Chat surface style the chatbox renders (e.g. `claude`, `chatgpt`).
  - `hostId` string, nullable — The named host the chatbox publishes (hosts and chatboxes are 1:1).
  - `hostName` string, nullable
  - `serverCount` integer, required
  - `serverNames` string[], required
  - `link` ChatboxLink — Share link for the chatbox. The URL embeds the access token; visible to any caller who can read the chatbox (the same audience that sees it in the hosted UI).
    - `path` string, required — App-relative share path.
    - `url` string, required — Absolute share URL.
  - `createdAt` number, nullable — Unix epoch milliseconds.
  - `updatedAt` number, nullable — Unix epoch milliseconds.
  - `modelId` string, nullable — Model the chatbox chats with.
  - `systemPrompt` string, nullable
  - `temperature` number, nullable
  - `requireToolApproval` boolean, required
  - `servers` ChatboxServer[], required
    - `id` string, required
    - `name` string, required

    - `useOAuth` boolean, required

## Other responses

- `400` — Malformed body or parameters.
- `401` — Missing, invalid, revoked, or orphaned key (`UNAUTHORIZED`) — or the **target MCP server** needs an OAuth grant (`OAUTH_REQUIRED`), which is a property of the server, not your key.
- `403` — Key is valid but not allowed to do this.
- `404` — Unknown project, server, or resource.
- `429` — Per-key rate limit exceeded (60 requests/minute sustained, bursts up to 10). Honor `Retry-After` and back off with jitter.
- `500` — Something failed on MCPJam's side.
- `502` — Could not connect to the target MCP server.
