Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Forgejo (Gitea Fork) MCP Server?
Connect your Forgejo or Gitea instance to any AI agent to streamline your DevOps and repository management workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Version Auditing — Retrieve detailed Forgejo and Gitea-compatible version information to ensure API compatibility across your infrastructure.
- Token Management — Generate new Personal Access Tokens (PATs) with specific scopes (read/write) using your BasicAuth credentials.
- CI/CD Automation — Trigger manual workflow dispatches for Forgejo Actions directly from the chat to start builds or deployments.
- Instance Inspection — Verify the health and configuration of your self-hosted Git service without leaving your development environment.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Forgejo Instance URL and credentials (Token or Username/Password)
- Start managing your repositories and actions from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — automate the triggering of CI/CD pipelines and monitor instance versions across multiple environments.
- Software Developers — generate API tokens for local scripts or integrations without navigating the web UI.
- System Administrators — quickly audit self-hosted Git instances and manage access credentials via AI assistance.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Forgejo (Gitea Fork) into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Forgejo (Gitea Fork) and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 4 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
How can I check which Forgejo version my instance is running?
You can use the get_forgejo_version tool. It will return the specific version string of your Forgejo instance, which is useful for debugging and feature compatibility checks.
Can I trigger a CI/CD build manually through the AI?
Yes! Use the dispatch_workflow tool by providing the repository owner, name, and the workflow file name. This triggers actions configured with the 'workflow_dispatch' event.
What is required to generate a new API token?
To use the create_token tool, you must have your Forgejo username and password configured in the credentials. This allows the agent to authenticate via BasicAuth and request a new token with your specified scopes.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
