+### `federation_whitelist_endpoint_enabled`
+
+Enables an endpoint for fetching the federation whitelist config.
+
+The request method and path is `GET /_synapse/client/config/federation_whitelist`, and the
+response format is:
+
+```json
+{
+    "whitelist_enabled": true,  // Whether the federation whitelist is being enforced
+    "whitelist": [  // Which server names are allowed by the whitelist
+        "example.com"
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+If `whitelist_enabled` is `false` then the server is permitted to federate with all others.
+
+The endpoint requires authentication.
+
+Example configuration:
+```yaml
+federation_whitelist_endpoint_enabled: true
+```
