# gitea-platform-mcp

Full Gitea platform management — 66 tools for repositories, issues, PRs, branches, files, releases, webhooks, and organizations.

## Two ways to run (one source file)

`skills/gitea/scripts/gitea_mcp.py` is both an MCP server and a CLI. The 66 tool functions are
shared; only the entrypoint differs:

- **MCP server** — registered via `.mcp.json`, tools appear as `mcp__gitea__<tool>`.
  This is how you connect it to an MCP-aware client.
- **CLI skill** — `uv run skills/gitea/scripts/gitea_mcp.py <tool> --flags` prints one JSON
  object on stdout. This is how Cline (and the `skills/gitea` skill) uses it.

```bash
# CLI examples
uv run skills/gitea/scripts/gitea_mcp.py --config ./config.json list_instances
uv run skills/gitea/scripts/gitea_mcp.py --config ./config.json get_repo --owner andrey --repo infra
uv run skills/gitea/scripts/gitea_mcp.py list-tools     # self-describing catalogue
```

CLI output contract: exactly one JSON object — `{"success": true, "data": …}` or
`{"success": false, "error": …}`. Check the `success` field, not the exit code.

## Setup (one-time)

### 1. Edit config.json

Open `config.json` in the plugin folder and fill in your Gitea details:

```json
{
  "instances": {
    "default": {
      "url": "https://your-gitea.example.com",
      "token": "your_personal_access_token"
    }
  },
  "default": "default"
}
```

### Multiple Gitea instances

```json
{
  "instances": {
    "home": {
      "url": "https://gitea.home.example.com",
      "token": "token_for_home"
    },
    "work": {
      "url": "https://gitea.work.example.com",
      "token": "token_for_work"
    }
  },
  "default": "home"
}
```

Then in chat: "покажи репозитории на work" — Claude передаст `instance="work"` в инструмент.

### 2. Create a Gitea token

Gitea → Settings → Applications → Personal Access Tokens

Recommended permissions: `repo`, `issue`, `notification`, `user`, `organization`

### 3. Verify connection

After installing, ask: "проверь подключение к Gitea" — Claude вызовет `get_current_user` и `get_server_info`.

## Requirements

- `uv` installed (https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)
- Gitea instance accessible from your computer
