I had the fit done on my primary road bike.
To port over the fit, measure everything on the road bike that affects the fit (seat tube, seat post extension, crank length (add those together), top tube, stem length, distance from front of seat to center of handlebars, front axle center to center of stem.
Then try and duplicate that on the MTB. However, on the MTB you'll have a very different stance, whether you have a dropper seat post, etc., you will probably want some differences. I don't ride a MTB any longer, so I can't really give you specifics.
If you google "bicycle reach and reach+" you should find some help on this.
