How to Use the Gitea MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I register the Gitea tools inside a Mastra AI agent?

Instantiate the MCPClient with your Vinkius server URL and pass the output of listTools() to your agent configuration. Your agent immediately gains access to actions like listrepos and getrepo.

Q: How do I require human approval before Mastra AI modifies Gitea issues?

You can enable the requireToolApproval flag in Mastra AI for sensitive tools like issue modification. The agent pauses before acting, waiting for a human operator to verify the changes.

Automated Gitea branch cleanup with Mastra AI workflows

The `list_branches` tool gathers all active branches in a target Gitea repository to identify stale code. Mastra AI uses this tool output to trigger conditional branching logic that flags unmerged branches. If the workflow detects a branch older than thirty days, it automatically transitions to check for open pull requests. This prevents branch rot without requiring manual weekly audits by your DevOps engineers.

Self-healing Gitea issue triage via Mastra AI

The `get_issue` tool fetches the complete details of any Gitea issue to let your agent analyze bug reports. Mastra AI processes this ticket data through its workflow engine to categorize incoming requests. When an API rate limit or network glitch occurs, Mastra's built-in exponential backoff retries the tool call automatically. Your issue triage pipelines keep running even if your self-hosted Gitea VM experiences a temporary CPU spike.

Multi-org monitoring using this Gitea MCP Server

The `list_orgs` tool retrieves all organizations connected to the active user profile to monitor cross-team activity. This lets your agent map out entire company structures and verify repository access controls. By coupling this MCP server with Mastra's workflow engine, you can write a script that runs every night to check organization memberships. The agent flags discrepancies instantly, keeping your self-hosted setup secure.

Setup guide

Set up Gitea MCP in Mastra AI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
@mastra/mcp + @mastra/core packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Configure the MCPClient
Create an MCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint as a URL object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and inject tools
Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All Gitea tools become native Mastra tools.
4

Run with any model
Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Call agent.generate() and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.

agent.ts

import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
  id: "gitea-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "gitea-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "Gitea Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to Gitea tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent Gitea transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);

Common questions about Gitea MCP in Mastra AI

Instantiate the `MCPClient` with your Vinkius server URL and pass the output of `listTools()` to your agent configuration. Your agent immediately gains access to actions like `list_repos` and `get_repo`.

Yes, Mastra's workflow engine handles retries automatically. If querying `list_org_repos` triggers a rate limit on your self-hosted Gitea instance, the system backs off and retries without crashing the workflow.

You can enable the `requireToolApproval` flag in Mastra AI for sensitive tools like issue modification. The agent pauses before acting, waiting for a human operator to verify the changes.

It does if your Mastra deployment has network access to the Gitea instance. The MCP server acts as the bridge, passing commands to your internal API endpoints securely.

Your Gitea organization memberships, branch names, and pull request details remain local to your execution environment. The Vinkius MCP gateway only forwards the raw API responses directly to your Mastra AI runtime without caching any code or metadata.
