# Mastra.getMCPServer()

The `.getMCPServer()` method retrieves an MCP server instance by its registry key (the key used when registering the server in the `mcpServers` configuration). For retrieving by the server's intrinsic `id` property, use `.getMCPServerById()` instead.

## Usage example

```typescript
// Register an MCP server with a registry key
const myServer = new MCPServer({
  id: 'my-mcp-server',
  name: 'My Server',
  version: '1.0.0',
  tools: {
    /* ... */
  },
})

export const mastra = new Mastra({
  mcpServers: {
    customKey: myServer, // 'customKey' is the registry key
  },
})

// Retrieve by registry key
const server = mastra.getMCPServer('customKey')

// Alternatively, retrieve by intrinsic ID
const serverById = mastra.getMCPServerById('my-mcp-server')
```

## Parameters

**registryKey** (`string`): The registry key used when registering the MCP server in the mcpServers configuration object. This is the key in the key-value pair, not the server's intrinsic id property.

## Returns

**server** (`MCPServerBase | undefined`): The MCP server instance with the specified registry key, or undefined if not found.
