It connects self-hosted or gitea.com-style Git forges to chat-based developer tools. ### Project history The project is hosted under Gitea's own gitea.com organization, with early release tags beginning in March 2025. Its README presents it as an MCP integration for command execution and repository management through MCP-compatible chat interfaces. ### Adoption history Its adoption follows the growth of MCP as a standard way for AI applications to connect to external tools and data sources. The README documents usage with OpenCode, Claude Code, VS Code, Mistral Vibe, Cursor-style MCP configuration, Docker, and local binaries, placing it in the emerging ecosystem of forge-aware AI development tools. ### How it is used Practitioners configure a Gitea host and personal access token, then run the server over stdio or HTTP. MCP clients can ask it to list repositories, inspect issues, create files, open pull requests, manage releases, or retrieve repository content. ### Why package nerds care The package matters because it packages a forge integration as a standard MCP server rather than as a single-editor plugin. Homebrew and Nix packaging let developers install the server beside other command-line infrastructure and point multiple MCP clients at the same Gitea API surface. ### Timeline - 2025: v0.1.0 release tag appeared on gitea.com. - 2025: README documented Docker, binary, and source-build installation paths. - 2025: README listed repository, branch, release, tag, commit, file, issue, and pull-request tools. ### Related projects - Gitea provides the Git forge API and repository-management domain. - Model Context Protocol provides the integration standard. - Forgejo is related through the broader lightweight Git forge ecosystem. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for gitea-mcp-server.
