Perplexity

Native MCP Server instance validation

The `get_forgejo_version` and `get_gitea_version` tools fetch the exact release running on your git host. Cursor reads this data to write API calls that match your specific deployment. You don't have to guess if a new endpoint is supported. The agent checks the version first, then writes the integration code based on actual server capabilities.

Provision API keys mid-code

The `create_token` tool generates new personal access tokens while you write integration scripts. Cursor provisions a real credential instead of leaving a placeholder in your code. Switching windows to generate a token breaks focus. Now, you tell the editor you need access, it creates the key, and injects it straight into your current file.

Fire off builds from the editor

The `dispatch_workflow` tool kicks off Forgejo Actions directly from your workspace. After you commit a change, you can tell the agent to run the test suite. It completely changes how you test remote pipelines. Let's face it, clicking through a web UI is slow. You write the workflow file, commit it, and trigger a run in seconds without ever opening a browser tab.

Setup guide

Set up Forgejo (Gitea Fork) MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Forgejo (Gitea Fork) MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Forgejo (Gitea Fork) transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Forgejo (Gitea Fork) tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
