# Get one of the calling user's MCP connections

> Returns a single connection's status view. Credential-free — no client secret or tokens.

## Scope: per-user, not per-company

Only resolves connections owned by the bearer token's `company_id` **and** `user_id`. A connection
that exists but belongs to someone else returns 404, identical to a nonexistent id (so ids can't be
probed across users).

## Permission

`agent_conversations` resource with `read` verb.

    The [Narrative Data Collaboration Platform](https://app.narrative.io) API is
    organized around REST. Our API has predictable resource-oriented URLs,
    accepts form-encoded request bodies, returns JSON-encoded responses, and
    uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs.



    The current version is a pre-release beta.  It may result in unexpected
    behavior and there may be breaking changes in future releases up to the 1.0
    release.

  - name: Access Rules
    description: >-
      Access rules let data providers control who can purchase their data and
      the terms of purchase.


      The `access-rules` API allows you to manage access rules for your
      datasets.

  - name: Agent Conversations
    description: >-
      Build LLM-driven workflows that can call MCP tools, ask the caller for
      input, and return structured answers.


      A conversation pins a model, a system prompt, and a tool catalog. Each run
      sends the model a user message (or

      a batch of tool outputs from a previously-paused run); the model decides
      whether to answer directly, call a

      server-side tool (resolved by the platform via Model Context Protocol), or
      call a client-side tool (which pauses

      the run with `requires_action` and waits for the caller to reply).

  - name: MCP Connections
    description: >-
      Connect external (non-Narrative) MCP servers so agent runs can call their
      tools with the

      calling user's own OAuth authorization.


      A connection is created interactively: `POST /mcp-connections` runs OAuth
      discovery and

      Dynamic Client Registration against the server and returns a consent URL;
      the user authorizes

      in a browser; the authorization server redirects to `GET
      /mcp-connections/callback`, which

      finishes the token exchange and marks the connection `connected`. Tokens
      are stored encrypted

      and used server-side — they are never returned by the API. Once connected,
      reference the

      connection by id from an agent run's `mcp_servers[].connection_id`.
  - name: App Invites
    description: >-
      App invites allow applications to create one-time, shareable links on
      behalf of their users. These links

      enable users to invite third parties who do not have a Narrative account
      to perform actions within the

      application.


      For example, a Narrative user can send an invite link to a third party who
      then completes a Pinterest

      OAuth flow and creates a connector profile in the inviter's account,
      allowing the inviter to deliver

      audience data to the third party's Pinterest account without the third
      party needing a Narrative account.


      This API is intended to be used by applications (via app client
      credentials) to create and manage invites

      on behalf of their users, which can then be shared with invitees.
  - name: Apps
    description: >-
      Apps are applications bundled with a UI that can perform various actions
      on behalf of a user utilizing the Narrative API.

      Narrative automatically turns data points from provider datasets into
      attributes so that buyers can purchase well-formed, standardized data from
      any supplier on the marketplace.

  - name: Data Streams
    description: >-
      The `data-stream` API endpoints allows one to create and update
      data-streams. Additionally the endpoints allow

      finding data-streams using free text search. A few of the endpoints are
      behind authorization.


      Update endpoint allows a client to post an edited data-stream document as
      is, without having to change its shape.

      The API ensures that only certain fields are allowed to be modified.
      Attempts to modify fields not up for client

      modifications are ignored.

  - name: Datasets
    description: >-
      Any kind of data, in any schema, can be pushed into the Narrative Data
      Collaboration Platform as a dataset exactly as it is stored in your own
      system.


      The `datasets` API allows you to manage your datasets.
  - name: Destinations
    description: >-
      Destinations associate a subscription to a profile. Optionally, ad-hoc
      quick settings can be configured to a destination.

      Those quick settings have to match the format defined on the app manifest.
  - name: Installations
    description: Installations of Applications for a profile
  - name: Jobs
    description: >-
      Jobs represent an operation done on a given data plane. All jobs today are
      tied to a query that represents a forecast or a materialized view.


      The jobs API provides an interface for interacting with the jobs table,
      which stores various operations involving reading or writing data. This
      API allows users to retrieve detailed information about specific jobs,
      including cost forecasts, data forecasts, NQL forecasts and materialized
      views.
  - name: Mappings
    description: >-
      A mapping is a transformation from a dataset to an attribute. Defining a
      mapping between a dataset and an attribute makes the dataset eligible to
      participate in subscriptions where a buyer is purchasing the target
      attribute.

  - name: Models
    description: >-
      Machine learning models for training and inference.


      Models can be stored in HuggingFace or Narrative repositories and have
      configurable

      collaborator permissions for training and inference access.


      The `models` API allows you to list, retrieve, and update models
      accessible to your company.
  - name: NQL
    description: >-
      Narrative Query Language (NQL) is a specialized, SQL-inspired language
      designed to query and manipulate data within the Narrative platform. While
      it looks and feels much like standard SQL, it offers extended
      functionality and syntax that let you leverage platform-specific
      features—such as referencing datasets by their IDs, creating materialized
      views, or generating forecasts—without having to manage the complexities
      of different query engines behind the scenes. NQL queries can ultimately
      compile down to multiple underlying engines (e.g., Snowflake, Spark) to
      execute your requests efficiently in the Narrative ecosystem.

    description: >-
      App profiles are associated with an installation. They represent a
      reference to a configuration that the app can use to save confidential
      information outside of Narrative's control.

      Profiles are currently used to configure settings for connector apps.
  - name: Resources
    description: >-
      Narrative gives you access to managed resources, like your own AWS S3
      bucket, so that you can effortlessly buy and sell data on the platform.


      The `resources` API allows you to manage your resources.
  - name: Schema Inference
    description: >-
      The `schema-inference` API analyzes submitted files to automatically infer
      and return their structure as a dataset schema.
  - name: Schema Presets
    description: >-
      The `schema-presets` API allows you to list the available schema presets,
      get detailed information about a specific one and manage its life cycle.


      You can create a schema preset from scratch or create one based on an
      existing one, administrators can create platform wide available (public)
      schema preset.
  - name: Subscriptions
    description: >-
      In the Narrative Data Collaboration Platform a subscription represents a
      set of rules dictating the commercial terms related to the licensing of
      data.


      The `subscriptions` API allows you to set and get information about
      `subscription` objects owned by the authenticated account.
  - name: Uploads

        **Field semantics:**


        - `type` — stable URL to the docs page describing this error class.
        Treat it as the
          machine-readable identifier; the same URL is referenced by `RunError.docs_url` on
          failed runs. Optional on 500 errors that don't map to a documented class.
        - `title` — short human-readable summary.

        - `status` — HTTP status code echoed in the body (so clients that read
        only the body
          can still dispatch on status).
        - `detail` — request-specific detail. Includes which alias was
        malformed, which
          `tool_use_id` was missing, etc.
        - `instance` — the API surface group (`/agents` for all agent
        endpoints). Stable —
          it's the prefix you call, not the full path.
        - `log_id` — UUID correlated with server logs. Always include this when
        reporting an
          issue to support.
        - `debug` — usually `null`. Reserved for richer payloads in specific
        failure modes.


        Common error pages indexed by `type`:
