The Gitea MCP server is an Version Control Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot, and other MCP-compatible AI agents manage Gitea repositories, issues, and pull requests for self-hosted Git from AI agents. It exposes Gitea's capabilities as tools the AI can call directly from your editor or CLI.
The fastest way is the MCPizy CLI: run `mcpizy install gitea` and MCPizy will add the server to your `.claude.json` automatically. You can also install it manually by adding an entry under `mcpServers` in `.claude.json` with the command `pip install mcp-server-gitea` and restarting Claude Code.
Yes. The Gitea MCP server is free and open source (see the GitHub repository linked on this page). You may still need a Gitea account or API key to connect the server to the underlying service, but the MCP layer itself has no MCPizy subscription cost.
Yes. Any MCP-compatible client works — including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor (via `.cursor/mcp.json`), Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot Chat, and custom agents built on the MCP SDK. The same install command targets all of them; only the config file path differs.
Once installed, your AI agent can manage Gitea repositories, issues, and pull requests for self-hosted Git from AI agents directly inside your conversation. Typical use cases include asking Claude Code or Cursor to run Gitea operations, inspect results, chain Gitea with other MCP servers (see our Workflow Recipes), and automate repetitive version control tasks without leaving your editor.
