+# Decision: Decommission Docker MCP Gateway, Use Local MCP Servers
+
+## Context
+
+LXC 303 (10.10.0.231) was running Docker MCP Gateway serving n8n and Gitea MCP servers via HTTP at `http://10.10.0.231:8811/mcp`. The n8n MCP was already duplicated locally, and maintaining a remote LXC for MCP servers added unnecessary infrastructure overhead.
+
+## Decision
+
+Decommissioned Docker MCP Gateway on LXC 303. Replaced the remote HTTP MCP connection with local stdio servers for all tools.
+
+## Changes Made
+
+- Removed `docker-mcp-gateway` entry (`http://10.10.0.231:8811/mcp`) from `~/.claude.json`
+- Added `@boringstudio_org/gitea-mcp` (npm, v1.8.0) as local stdio replacement for Gitea MCP
+- LXC 303 stopped and autostart disabled on Proxmox
+- Commit: `5ff94a9`
+
+## Final Global MCP Config (`~/.claude.json` mcpServers)
+
+- `cognitive-memory` — python3 stdio
+- `n8n-mcp` — npx stdio
+- `gitea-mcp` — npx @boringstudio_org/gitea-mcp stdio
+
+## Rationale
+
+- Simpler: no remote HTTP dependency, no LXC to maintain
+- n8n MCP was already running locally (duplicate)
+- Local stdio servers start on demand, no persistent process needed
+- Reduces homelab resource usage (LXC 303 freed up)
