Brings Gitea's REST API into MCP so Claude can file issues, triage backlogs, cut releases, and manage pull requests without you switching windows. Works against self-hosted Gitea, Forgejo, and Codeberg instances. You get 20+ tools covering issues, repos, PRs, files, and releases, all authenticated via personal access token. The CLI includes an init command that walks you through config and drops the right JSON into Claude Desktop's settings, plus a doctor command that verifies connectivity before you waste time debugging. If you're running Gitea instead of GitHub and want your assistant to actually interact with your forge, this is the straightforward path.
