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.

Automate a task

Put Gerrit 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

Gerrit 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 Gerrit 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. 10 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 Gerrit, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

Who it's for

Built for the work Gerrit owners hand off.

This MCP is built for technical teams who live in Gerrit and want to move faster by bringing code review data into their development environment.

  • 01

    Software Engineers

    They use the agent to track their own open changes and review patch sets without switching tabs.

  • 02

    Engineering Managers

    They use the agent to monitor review progress and check approval statuses across teams.

  • 03

    DevOps and SREs

    They use the agent to audit project branches and verify group permissions.

FAQ

Questions Gerrit owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I get my HTTP password for Gerrit?

    You can find your HTTP password in your Gerrit instance under Settings and then the HTTP Password section.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

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

  • 03

    Does this MCP work with my existing Gerrit permissions?

    Yes, the MCP uses your provided credentials, so it can only see and do what your Gerrit account is permitted to do.

  • 04

    Can I search for changes using specific filters?

    Yes, you can use syntax like status:open, owner:self, or project:name to find exactly what you need.

  • 05

    Is my Gerrit data hosted by Vinkius?

    Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages the connection, but the data comes directly from your own Gerrit instance.

  • 06

    Can my agent list open changes across all Gerrit projects?

    Yes. Use the 'query_changes' capability with the query 'status:open'. The agent will retrieve the global array of all matching changes, including subjects, numbers, and owners natively.

  • 07

    How do I see the approval labels (Code-Review, Verified) for a specific change via chat?

    Use the 'get_change' capability. It retrieves the full details of a Gerrit change, including the 'labels' section where you can see the Code-Review and Verified scores assigned by reviewers natively.

  • 08

    Can I check which groups have access to a specific project through the agent?

    Absolutely. Use the 'list_groups' capability to identify existing groups. While project access rules are often defined in the project settings, the agent can help you verify group definitions and ownership within your organizational tree flawlessly.
