Before you connect
Questions about Forgejo.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can I use the Forgejo (Gitea Fork) MCP with my self-hosted Git server?
Yes, this Connector is designed specifically for self-hosted Forgejo and Gitea instances. It allows your AI agent to interact with your private Git service directly.
How do I generate API tokens using the Forgejo (Gitea Fork) MCP?
You just ask your AI agent to create a new token for you. It will handle the request to your instance and provide you with the new credential and its scope.
Can the Forgejo (Gitea Fork) MCP trigger my CI/CD builds?
Yes, it can trigger manual workflow dispatches for Forgejo Actions. This means you can start your builds or deployments just by asking your agent to do so.
Does the Forgejo (Gitea Fork) MCP work for both Forgejo and Gitea?
Yes, it supports both. It can retrieve version information for both Forgejo and Gitea-compatible instances.
Is it safe to use the Forgejo (Gitea Fork) MCP for repository management?
Yes, it uses your existing credentials to perform actions. You control the scopes and permissions, so your agent only does what you authorize it to do.
How does the Forgejo (Gitea Fork) MCP help with my DevOps workflow?
It removes the need to constantly switch between your editor and your Git web UI. You can audit versions, manage tokens, and trigger builds without leaving your primary workspace.
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.
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.
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.
