8
+ ## [Unreleased]
9
+
10
+ ### Added
11
+
12
+ - Initial project scaffolding.
13
+ - **Issue tools fully implemented:** `create_issue`, `list_issues`, `get_issue`, `update_issue`, `add_comment`. Label names are resolved to Gitea label IDs automatically (Gitea's issue API requires IDs, not names); unknown label names fail cleanly with the list of valid names. `get_issue` returns the issue object plus a `comments_list` field with the full comment thread. `update_issue` supports replace-semantics for labels and assignees, milestone clearing via `milestone=0`, and atomic partial updates of any combination of title/body/state/labels/assignees/milestone.
14
+ - **Repo metadata tools fully implemented:** `list_repos`, `list_labels`, `list_milestones`. `list_repos` handles three modes — authenticated-user (no owner), user-owned, or organization-owned — with automatic fallback from the user endpoint to the org endpoint on 404 so callers don't need to know which it is. `list_labels` and `list_milestones` are straightforward paginated reads.
15
+ - **Release tools fully implemented:** `list_releases`, `create_release`. `create_release` includes a warning in its docstring about Gitea's side-effect behavior of creating the underlying git tag even for drafts. All MVP fields supported: `tag_name`, `name`, `body`, `target_commitish`, `draft`, `prerelease`.
16
+ - `GiteaClient` async HTTP wrapper (PAT auth via `Authorization: token <PAT>`, httpx, raises typed errors). Supports GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE.
17
+ - `Config` dataclass loading from `GITEA_URL` / `GITEA_TOKEN` / `GITEA_TIMEOUT` environment variables.
18
+ - `gitea-mcp` console-script entry point.
19
+ - `setuptools_scm` tag-driven versioning.
20
+ - `mcp.json` template for MCP client configuration.
21
+ - `README.md` with quick start, configuration, and tool reference.
22
+ - `VERSIONING.md` documenting the semver / tag / release flow.
23
+ - GitHub Actions workflows: CI (lint + type-check + tests on Python 3.11/3.12/3.13) and Release (publish to PyPI on `v*` tag push).
24
+ - Unit test suite using `pytest-httpx` to mock the Gitea API. Issue tools have full coverage (12 tests); repo and release tools covered only by smoke tests pending Pass B-2/B-3.

+ # gitea-mcp
36
+
37
+ A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for [Gitea](https://gitea.io) — lets AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, and anything else that speaks MCP) read, create, and manage issues, repositories, and releases on any Gitea instance you can reach.
38
+
39
+ Also works against **[Forgejo](https://forgejo.org)** and **[Codeberg](https://codeberg.org)** (API-compatible).
40
+
41
+ ## Why
42
+
43
+ Self-hosted Gitea is a popular GitHub alternative for solo developers, small teams, and privacy-conscious organizations. With this MCP server installed, your AI assistant can:

61
+
62
+ ## Quick Start
63
+
64
+ ### 1. Install
65
+
66
+ ```bash
67
+ pip install gitea-mcp
68
+ ```
69
+
70
+ Or with [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/):
71
+
72
+ ```bash
73
+ uv pip install gitea-mcp
74
+ ```
75
+
76
+ ### 2. Generate a Personal Access Token
77
+
78
+ In your Gitea instance, go to **Settings → Applications → Generate New Token** and grant at least:
79
+
80
+ - `read:repository`
81
+ - `write:issue`
82
+ - `read:user`
83
+
84
+ Add `write:repository` if you also want to create releases.
85
+
86
+ ### 3. Configure your MCP client
87
+
88
+ Add `gitea-mcp` to your MCP client configuration:
89
+
90
+ ```json
91
+ {
92
+ "mcpServers": {
93
+ "gitea": {
94
+ "command": "gitea-mcp",
95
+ "env": {
96
+ "GITEA_URL": "https://your-gitea-instance.example.com",
97
+ "GITEA_TOKEN": "your-personal-access-token"
98
+ }
99
+ }
100
+ }
101
+ }
102
+ ```
103
+
104
+ See [`mcp.json`](mcp.json) for a complete example. The same shape works for Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cowork, Claude Code, and any other MCP-compatible client.
105
+
106
+ ## Configuration
107
+
108
+ Configuration is read from environment variables.
109
+
110
+ | Variable | Required | Default | Description |
111
+ | --- | --- | --- | --- |
112
+ | `GITEA_URL` | Yes | — | Base URL of your Gitea instance (e.g., `https://gitea.example.com`) |
113
+ | `GITEA_TOKEN` | Yes | — | Personal Access Token from your Gitea user settings |
114
+ | `GITEA_TIMEOUT` | No | `30` | HTTP request timeout in seconds |
115
+
116
+ ## Compatibility

+
118
+ | Server | Status |
119
+ | --- | --- |
120
+ | Gitea (self-hosted) | ✅ Primary target |
121
+ | Forgejo | ✅ Expected to work (API-compatible) |
122
+ | Codeberg | ✅ Expected to work (Codeberg runs Forgejo) |
123
+
124
+ ## Development
125
+
126
+ ```bash
127
+ git clone https://github.com/werebear73/gitea-mcp.git
128
+ cd gitea-mcp
129
+ pip install -e ".[dev]"
130

+
3
+ A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for [Gitea](https://gitea.io) — lets AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, and anything else that speaks MCP) read, create, and manage issues, repositories, and releases on any Gitea instance you can reach.
4
+
5
+ Also works against **[Forgejo](https://forgejo.org)** and **[Codeberg](https://codeberg.org)** (API-compatible).

+
7
+ ## Why
8
+
9
+ Self-hosted Gitea is a popular GitHub alternative for solo developers, small teams, and privacy-conscious organizations. With this MCP server installed, your AI assistant can:

+
11
+ - File audit findings or refactor notes as Gitea issues without you leaving the chat
12
+ - Triage a repo's open issues in natural language
13
+ - Cut a release at the end of a coding session
14
+ - Comment on issues across multiple repos in one pass
