yp05327 21aa4684d9 feat(cmd): add -S/--scope to load only selected tool scopes (#219)
`-O` / `--tools` can already narrow the exposed tool set, but it needs every tool spelled out by name. `-S` / `--scope` (`GITEA_SCOPES`) complements it by selecting whole scopes, using the same names the `Scope` column of the tool tables documents.

```bash
gitea-mcp -S issue,pull_request                     # only those scopes
gitea-mcp --scope repository,branch --tools get_me   # those scopes plus one extra tool
```

## What changed

- Each scope is one `tool.Tool` registry carrying a canonical name, so `operation/repo` is split into the six scopes its files already imply: `repository` (`repo.go` + `tree.go`), `file`, `branch`, `tag`, `commit`, `release`. The other twelve packages map 1:1, giving 18 scopes.
- The two allowlists combine as a **union**: with neither set every tool loads; with only `--tools` set behaviour is unchanged; with both set, the selected scopes' tools plus the individually named tools load. `-r` / `GITEA_READONLY` still hides write tools on top.
- Scope names are normalized on input (case, spaces, hyphens), so `Pull Request`, `pull-request` and `PULL_REQUEST` all resolve to `pull_request`. Unknown names only warn and list the valid scopes, mirroring how `--tools` treats unknown tool names.
- The `Scope` column of all three READMEs now uses the canonical names verbatim, so it doubles as the reference for `--scope`, and `TestReadmeToolTables` compares that column against the registry in both directions — no translation table needed.
- Flag parsing moves from `cmd.init()` into `Execute()`. `main()` only ever calls `Execute()`, so this is behaviourally equivalent, and it makes the `cmd` package testable at all: previously the `init()` parse of `os.Args` hit `flag.CommandLine`'s `ExitOnError` on `go test`'s own `-test.*` flags.

## Verification

`make fmt`, `make lint-go` (0 issues) and `go test ./...` all pass. New tests cover the filter matrix (no filters / scope-only / tools-only regression / union / read-only interaction / unknown scope), scope-name uniqueness across `domainTools`, and the flag+env parsing and normalization.

Smoke-tested `tools/list` over stdio against the built binary:

| flags | tools exposed |
| :-- | :-- |
| _none_ | 54 (identical to `main`) |
| `-S branch` | `create_branch`, `delete_branch`, `list_branches` |
| `--scope 'Pull Request,TAG'` | the 4 `pull_request` + 4 `tag` tools |
| `-O get_me` | `get_me` (unchanged) |
| `-S commit -O get_me` | `get_commit`, `list_commits`, `get_me` |
| `-S file -r` | `get_dir_contents`, `get_file_contents` |
| `-S bogus,issue` | the 4 `issue` tools, plus a warning naming the valid scopes |

# Gitea MCP Server
[繁體中文](README.zh-tw.md) | [简体中文](README.zh-cn.md)
**Gitea MCP Server** connects a [Gitea](https://about.gitea.com) instance to [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) clients, so repositories, issues, pull requests and more can be browsed and managed from an MCP-compatible chat interface.

## Installation
Download a binary from the [releases page](https://gitea.com/gitea/gitea-mcp/releases) and put it in your `PATH`, use the `docker.gitea.com/gitea-mcp-server` image, or build from source into `$GOPATH/bin` with `make` and Go 1.26 or later:
```bash
git clone https://gitea.com/gitea/gitea-mcp.git
cd gitea-mcp
make install
```
## Configuration
Pass the Gitea host and access token as command-line flags or environment variables, flags take precedence. Run `gitea-mcp --help` for the full list of flags and environment variables. Logs are written to `$HOME/.gitea-mcp/gitea-mcp.log`, add `-d` for debug logging.
### Claude Code
Runs the server through `go run` and requires [Go](https://go.dev):
```bash
claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope user gitea \
--env GITEA_ACCESS_TOKEN=token \
--env GITEA_HOST=https://gitea.com \
-- go run gitea.com/gitea/gitea-mcp@latest -t stdio
```
### VS Code
Use the install buttons at the top of this README, or add the block below to your User Settings (JSON), reachable via `Ctrl + Shift + P` and `Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)`. It also works in a workspace `.vscode/mcp.json`, where the `mcp` key is omitted.
```json
{
"mcp": {
"inputs": [
{
"type": "promptString",
"id": "gitea_token",
"description": "Gitea Personal Access Token",
"password": true
}
],
"servers": {
"gitea-mcp": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "GITEA_ACCESS_TOKEN", "docker.gitea.com/gitea-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"GITEA_ACCESS_TOKEN": "${input:gitea_token}"
}
}
}
}
}
```
### OpenCode
Add the following to the top-level `mcp` object of your [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai) config:
```json
"gitea-mcp": {
"enabled": true,
"type": "local",
"command": [
"gitea-mcp",
"-t", "stdio",
"-H", "https://gitea.com",
"-T", "<your personal access token>"
]
}
```
### Mistral Vibe
Add the following to `~/.vibe/config.toml`:
```toml
[[mcp_servers]]
name = "gitea"
transport = "stdio"
command = "docker"
args = ["run", "--rm", "-i", "-e", "GITEA_ACCESS_TOKEN", "-e", "GITEA_HOST", "docker.gitea.com/gitea-mcp-server"]
[mcp_servers.env]
GITEA_ACCESS_TOKEN = "TOKEN"
GITEA_HOST = "https://gitea.com"
```
### Other clients
Clients such as Cursor take either a stdio command:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"gitea": {
"command": "gitea-mcp",
"args": ["-t", "stdio", "--host", "https://gitea.com"],
"env": {
"GITEA_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<your personal access token>"
}
}
}
}
```
or an http endpoint, for a server started with `gitea-mcp -t http --port 8080`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"gitea": {
"url": "http://localhost:8080/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer <your personal access token>"
}
}
}
}
```
Once configured, try `list all my repositories` in the chat box.

> **Note:** Several tools are consolidated, action-based tools, a single tool exposes multiple operations through a `method` parameter. Tools with `Write` access are hidden when the server runs in read-only mode (`-r` / `GITEA_READONLY`), and the exposed tool set can be filtered by scope with `-S` / `--scope` (`GITEA_SCOPES`) and/or by individual tool name with `-O` / `--tools` (`GITEA_TOOLS`).
With neither flag set, every tool loads. `--scope` limits loading to tools whose Scope column value is in the given list; `--tools` limits loading to the named tools; setting both loads the union of the selected scopes and the individually named tools. Unknown scope names are ignored with a startup warning.
```bash
gitea-mcp -S issue,pull_request
gitea-mcp --scope repository,branch --tools get_me
```
Many tools accept `page` and `per_page` for pagination. The maximum effective page size is the Gitea server's `[api].MAX_RESPONSE_ITEMS` setting (default **50**), larger values are silently capped.
