GET/repositories/by-path/{full_path}

Get a repository by its full path

get_repo_by_path
  • repo:read
    A token needs the repo:read scope: View repositories and metadataGranted by mcp_agent, mcp_agent_write, read_api, read_repository, write_api, write_repository.Every operation this scope unlocks

The same answer as reading the repository by ID, addressed by its path under its groups, such as acme/platform/my-repo. A path that changed with a rename or a transfer no longer resolves.

Parameters

Path
  • full_pathFullPath (string)Full hierarchical path (e.g. acme/platform/my-repo)

Responses

200Repository found. `empty` says whether anything has been pushed to it yet, and `remote_url` is the address to push it toapplication/json
  • created_atstring
  • created_byUserId (string · uuid)
  • default_branchBranchName (string)
  • emptybooleantrue while the repository has no branch and no tag — from creation until the first push, or after every branch and tag has been deleted. There is then no file tree to show: a tree listing, its commit column or a file read answers 409, so show how to push to the repository instead of asking for one.
  • full_pathFullPath (string)
  • group_idGroupId (string · uuid)
  • remote_urlstringThe address git clone and git remote add take for this repository: gitmoap://<host>/<path> when this deployment knows its public host, which clones on a machine never configured for it, and gitmoap://<path> otherwise, which works once the CLI is signed in. Print this rather than assembling one — it is the only clone address every surface agrees on.

400Invalid pathapplication/json
Error codes
  • BAD_REQUESTThe request is malformed: a parameter or a body field is not a well-formed value of its type
  • errorErrorBody
    • The ErrorBody schema
    • codestringThe coarse category, tied to the status: NOT_FOUND, CONFLICT, INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE. Every error has one; the API reference's error catalogue lists them all.
    • messagestringWhat went wrong, for a person. Written to be read, not parsed: match on reason or code.
    • fieldstring or nulloptionalOn a 400 that refused one field's value, the field, as its JSON path: email, items[0].name. Put the message under that input. Absent on every other error.
    • reasonstring or nulloptionalThe specific code, when the error has one: LAST_ORGANIZATION_OWNER, BRANCH_PROTECTED. The message starts with it too. Match on this when it is present, and on code otherwise.
    • required_scopestring or nulloptionalThe scope the access token was missing, on INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE.
    • violationsanyoptionalPresent on the structured-validation errors (PROVIDER_VALIDATION_FAILED per-node, PIPELINE_VALIDATION_FAILED DAG): a JSON array of the offending elements, so a caller can fix every one in a single round-trip. Absent (omitted) on every other error.

Error codes
  • FORBIDDENYou are signed in but may not do this here; reason names the permission or the rule that refused it
  • INSUFFICIENT_SCOPEThe access token lacks the scope this operation needs; required_scope names it
  • PERMISSION_REQUIREDYou need a permission you do not hold here; the message names it
