skipper
MCP server for working in a git repository: local git in-process, and GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, and Forgejo behind one small set of tools.
Why
The existing forge MCP servers expose the API, not a workflow. Counted from their own sources: GitHub's has ~125 tools, GitLab's ~88, Gitea's ~54. One tool per endpoint, three servers, three vocabularies, and an agent that has to work out which one it is talking to.
Skipper registers 20, and shows fewer than that: only the ones this repository can actually use, and the four that write only when you turn them on.
An agent does not need to be emperor of your forge. It does not need to create or destroy an organization on any given turn. It needs to know what this repository is, whether the build passed, and what broke. Skipper exposes that and skips the rest.
By default, no skipper tool can write to a forge. There is no create, delete, close, or fork, and out of the box no merge, push, fetch, or pull either: the only state any tool changes is local (staging, committing, local branches), so an agent cannot move a commit to a remote through skipper.
