# Gitee MCP Server

Gitee MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for Gitee. It provides a set of tools for interacting with Gitee's API, allowing AI assistants to manage repositories, issues, pull requests, and more.

[![Install MCP Server](https://cursor.com/deeplink/mcp-install-dark.svg)](https://cursor.com/en/install-mcp?name=gitee&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FwaS5naXRlZS5jb20vbWNwIiwiaGVhZGVycyI6eyJBdXRob3JpemF0aW9uIjoiQmVhcmVyIDx5b3VyIHBlcnNvbmFsIGFjY2VzcyB0b2tlbj4ifX0%3D)

## Features

- Interact with Gitee repositories, issues, pull requests, and notifications
- Configurable API base URL to support different Gitee instances
- Command-line flags for easy configuration
- Supports both personal, organization, and enterprise operations
- Dynamic toolset enable/disable

## Installation

The Remote MCP Server requires no installation and works out of the box. To run mcp-gitee locally (stdio), pick one of the options below.

### Remote MCP Server (Recommended)

Add the following to the `mcpServers` section of your host config, replacing `<your personal access token>` with a token from [here](https://gitee.com/profile/personal_access_tokens):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitee": {
      "url": "https://api.gitee.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your personal access token>"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

For per-client config file paths and formats (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Trae, Cline, Continue, opencode), follow the guides linked in the MCP Hosts Configuration section below.

### Local (stdio)

#### Download Pre-built Binaries

Grab the archive for your platform (linux-amd64 / linux-arm / darwin-amd64 / darwin-arm64 / windows-amd64) from [Releases](https://gitee.com/oschina/mcp-gitee/releases), extract it, and put `mcp-gitee` on your PATH (on Windows the executable is `mcp-gitee.exe`).

#### Use npx

No installation needed; the pre-built binary for your platform is downloaded automatically at startup:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitee": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@gitee/mcp-gitee@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GITEE_API_BASE": "https://gitee.com/api/v5",
        "GITEE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<your personal access token>"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### Building from Source

Requires Go 1.23.0 or higher.

1. Clone the repository:
   ```bash
   git clone https://gitee.com/oschina/mcp-gitee.git
   cd mcp-gitee
   ```

2. Build the project:
   ```bash
   make build
   ```
   Move ./bin/mcp-gitee PATH env

#### Use go install

```bash
go install gitee.com/oschina/mcp-gitee@latest
```

#### Use the Installed Executable

Once `mcp-gitee` is available on your PATH (via Releases, source build, or `go install`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitee": {
      "command": "mcp-gitee",
      "env": {
        "GITEE_API_BASE": "https://gitee.com/api/v5",
        "GITEE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<your personal access token>"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

> **Windows**: the executable must include the `.exe` suffix, and the path in `command` should use forward slashes `/` (Windows accepts them, and it avoids JSON backslash-escaping mistakes):
>
> ```json
> {
>   "mcpServers": {
>     "gitee": {
>       "command": "C:/Users/<you>/bin/mcp-gitee.exe",
>       "env": {
>         "GITEE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<your personal access token>"
>       }
>     }
>   }
> }
> ```

Config examples: [Click to view more application configuration](./docs/install/)

- [Claude Code](./docs/install/claude.md)
- [Codex](./docs/install/codex.md)
- [Cursor](./docs/install/cursor.md)
- [Trae](./docs/install/trae.md)
- [Cline](./docs/install/cline.md)
- [Continue](./docs/install/continue.md)
- [opencode](./docs/install/opencode.md)

### Command-line Options

- `--token`: Gitee access token
- `--api-base`: Gitee API base URL (default: https://gitee.com/api/v5)
- `--version`: Show version information
- `--transport`: Transport type (stdio、sse or http, default: stdio)
- `--address`: The host and port to start the server on (default: localhost:8000)
- `--enabled-toolsets`: Comma-separated list of tools to enable (if specified, only these tools will be enabled)
- `--disabled-toolsets`: Comma-separated list of tools to disable

### Environment Variables

You can also configure the server using environment variables:

- `GITEE_ACCESS_TOKEN`: Gitee access token
- `GITEE_API_BASE`: Gitee API base URL
- `ENABLED_TOOLSETS`: Comma-separated list of tools to enable
- `DISABLED_TOOLSETS`: Comma-separated list of tools to disable

### Toolset Management

Toolset management supports two modes:

1. Enable specified tools (whitelist mode):
   - Use `--enabled-toolsets` parameter or `ENABLED_TOOLSETS` environment variable
   - Specify after, only listed tools will be enabled, others will be disabled
   - Example: `--enabled-toolsets="list_user_repos,get_file_content"`

2. Disable specified tools (blacklist mode):
   - Use `--disabled-toolsets` parameter or `DISABLED_TOOLSETS` environment variable
   - Specify after, listed tools will be disabled, others will be enabled
   - Example: `--disabled-toolsets="list_user_repos,get_file_content"`

Note:
- If both `enabled-toolsets` and `disabled-toolsets` are specified, `enabled-toolsets` takes precedence
- Tool names are case-sensitive

### Per-Request Tool Filtering (HTTP Headers)

When using the remote MCP server (HTTP/SSE transport), you can dynamically filter available tools on a per-request basis via HTTP headers. This is useful for clients that need fine-grained control over tool exposure without restarting the server.

1. **Enable specified tools via header (whitelist):**
   - Use the `X-MCP-Enabled-Tools` header
   - Only the listed tools will be enabled for that request
   - Example: `X-MCP-Enabled-Tools: list_user_repos,get_file_content`

2. **Disable specified tools via header (blacklist):**
   - Use the `X-MCP-Disabled-Tools` header
   - The listed tools will be disabled for that request
   - Example: `X-MCP-Disabled-Tools: create_repo,delete_repo`

**Priority rules:**
- If both `X-MCP-Enabled-Tools` and `X-MCP-Disabled-Tools` are present in the same request, the whitelist (`X-MCP-Enabled-Tools`) takes precedence
- Tool names are case-sensitive

**Example configuration for Cursor/Claude:**
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitee": {
      "url": "https://api.gitee.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your personal access token>",
        "X-MCP-Enabled-Tools": "list_user_repos,get_file_content,list_repo_issues"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
