About Gerrit MCP Server
Connect your Gerrit Code Review instance to any AI agent and take full control of your collaborative code reviews, project repositories, and patch set management through natural conversation.
Cursor's Agent mode turns Gerrit into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Gerrit and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
What you can do
- Change & Review Orchestration — Query Gerrit changes using advanced syntax like 'status:open' or 'owner:self' to retrieve subjects, numbers, and owners natively
- Patch Set Auditing — List all revisions (patch sets) of a change to track commit SHAs, uploader info, and parent commits for detailed version history flawlessly
- Reviewer & Approval Oversight — Enumerate reviewers on any change and retrieve approval labels (Code-Review, Verified) to monitor the consensus process synchronousy
- Project & Repository Navigation — List all projects and retrieve detailed metadata including states (ACTIVE/READ_ONLY) and default branch configurations securely
- Branch Management — Identify and list all branches within a Gerrit project, extracting the latest commit SHAs to verify repository boundaries natively
- Account & Identity Discovery — Fetch authenticated user profile information and list associated verified email addresses to verify account contexts flawlessy
- Group & Access Auditing — List all Gerrit groups to identify who controls access to projects and grants specific permissions within your organizational tree
