Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 4 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Automate a task

Put Forgejo to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Forgejo works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Forgejo to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 4 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Forgejo, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Forgejo. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

    Can I trigger CI/CD pipelines with this?

    Yes, you can trigger manual workflow dispatches for Forgejo Actions directly through your AI client.

  • 03

    How do I manage API tokens?

    You can use the create_token capability to generate new Personal Access Tokens with specific scopes for any user.

  • 04

    You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 06

    How can I check which Forgejo version my instance is running?

    You can use the get_forgejo_version capability. It will return the specific version string of your Forgejo instance, which is useful for debugging and feature compatibility checks.

  • 07

    Can I trigger a CI/CD build manually through the AI?

    Yes! Use the dispatch_workflow capability by providing the repository owner, name, and the workflow file name. This triggers actions configured with the 'workflow_dispatch' event.

  • 08

    What is required to generate a new API token?

    To use the create_token capability, 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.
