What is forgejo-mcp CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for an MCP server that lets compatible AI applications work with Forgejo and Gitea code repositories. MCP is a standard way for applications to exchange tool commands and results.

Use them when developing or maintaining the server, including issue, label, milestone, release, pull-request, wiki, repository-search, and action-related operations.

They give the coding agent project-specific information about supported repository actions, transport methods, and code structure.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01480	$0.01480
Opus 5.5	$0.00592	$0.00592
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00296	$0.00296
Haiku 4.5	$0.00148	$0.00148

Security

Grade A, and why

forgejo-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Forgejo MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables MCP clients to interact with Gitea/Forgejo repositories.

Project Overview

This project provides MCP integration for managing Forgejo/Gitea repositories through MCP-compatible clients such as Claude Desktop, Continue, and other LLM applications.

Supported Operations

Issues (create, edit, comment, close)
Labels (list, create, edit, delete)
Milestones (list, create, edit, delete)
Releases (list, create, edit, delete, manage assets)
Pull requests (list, view)
Repository search and listing
Wiki pages (create, edit, delete)
Forgejo Actions tasks (view)

Transport Modes

stdio: Standard input/output (best for local integration)
sse: Server-Sent Events over HTTP (best for web apps) - planned
http: HTTP POST requests (best for simple integrations) - planned

Architecture

Core Components

cmd/: CLI application using Cobra framework
- root.go: Main command with global configuration
- stdio.go: Stdio transport mode implementation
types/: Data structures and response types
- api.go: MCP response types wrapping Forgejo SDK types
main.go: Application entry point

Key Dependencies

MCP SDK: github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk
- There are 3 important sub packages: mcp, jsonschema and jsonrpc
Forgejo SDK: codeberg.org/mvdkleijn/forgejo-sdk/forgejo/v2
CLI Framework: github.com/spf13/cobra
Configuration: github.com/spf13/viper

If you need to get documentation of these packages, go doc should be the best bet.

Implementation Strategy

🟢 SDK-based (71%): Use official Forgejo SDK where available
🟡 Custom HTTP (29%): Implement custom requests for unsupported features (Wiki, Actions, Issue dependencies)

Configuration

CLI Arguments

forgejo-mcp stdio --server https://git.example.com --token your_token

Environment Variables

FORGEJOMCP_SERVER: Forgejo server URL
FORGEJOMCP_TOKEN: Access token
