+# Gitea MCP Server in Docker MCP Gateway
+
+## Background
+Gitea MCP is NOT in the default Docker MCP catalog (317 servers, no Gitea). Added via a custom catalog YAML.
+
+## Setup
+- **Catalog file:** `/home/cal/mcp-gateway/gitea-catalog.yaml` on LXC 303
+- **Image:** `docker.gitea.com/gitea-mcp-server:latest` (from gitea.com/gitea/gitea-mcp)
+- **Command:** `/app/gitea-mcp -t stdio -host <url> -token <token>`
+- **Capabilities:** 50+ tools covering repos, branches, files, issues, PRs, releases, users, orgs, wiki, Gitea Actions
+
+## Catalog YAML Format
+Follows Docker MCP catalog schema with `registry.servername` containing:
+- description, title, image, command (with template vars like `{{gitea.host}}`)
+- config schema, secrets definitions, tools list
+
+## Config & Secrets
+- Config: `gitea.host: https://git.manticorum.com`
+- Secret: `gitea.token` = Gitea PAT (from tea CLI config at `~/.config/tea/config.yml`)
+
+## Alternative Gitea MCP Servers
+- `raohwork/forgejo-mcp` (Go, Mozilla license, Docker image `ronmi/forgejo-mcp`)
+- `louis-fvt/mcp-gitea` (TypeScript, lighter)
