# iai stacks get

Export live stack configuration

## Synopsis

Fetch the live services, agents, databases, and mcps for a stack and write them as a stack configuration file.

Use this to rebase your local stack config on the live state before making changes. MCP credentials are never exported; include auth.credential before syncing credentialed MCPs.

The organization and project are read from flags or resolved via 'iai organizations select' / 'iai projects select'.

```
iai stacks get [flags]
```

## Examples

```
  iai stacks get --stack-id my-stack
  iai stacks get --stack-id my-stack -f live-stack.yaml
  iai stacks get --stack-id my-stack -o my-org -p my-project
```

## Options

```
  -f, --file string           Write output to file instead of stdout
  -h, --help                  help for get
      --json                  Output as JSON
  -o, --organization string   Organization name
  -p, --project string        Project name
      --stack-id string       Stack ID to export
      --yaml                  Output as YAML
```

## Options inherited from parent commands

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.interactive.ai/cli/iai_stacks_get.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
