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)
