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.

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(This step can be skipped directly when starting npx)

Prerequisites

• Go 1.23.0 or higher
• Gitee account with an access token, Go to get

Building from Source

1. Clone the repository:

   hljs language-bash

   Copy

   git clone https://gitee.com/oschina/mcp-gitee.git
   cd mcp-gitee
   

2. Build the project:

   hljs language-bash

   Copy

   make build
   

   Move ./bin/mcp-gitee PATH env

Use go install

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

Usage

Check mcp-gitee version:

mcp-gitee --version

Remote MCP Server

Connect to the official remote mcp-gitee server (no installation required):

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

Codex uses ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.gitee]
url = "https://api.gitee.com/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "GITEE_ACCESS_TOKEN"

opencode uses ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "gitee": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://api.gitee.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your personal access token>"
      },
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

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:

{
  "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"
      }
    }
  }
}
