# Goose + Gitea Integration Guide # Goose + Gitea MCP Extension
Complete guide for integrating the Goose AI agent with a self-hosted Gitea instance using the official Gitea MCP Server. Integrate the [Goose](https://github.com/AAIF/goose) AI agent with your self-hosted [Gitea](https://gitea.com) instance via the official [gitea-mcp](https://gitea.com/gitea/gitea-mcp) MCP server.
## 📚 Wiki **53 tools** covering repos, issues, PRs, branches, releases, CI/CD, wiki, and more — all controllable through natural language in Goose.
The full guide is in the [wiki](https://gt.covalente.dk/oval/goose-gitea-guide/wiki): ## What's in This Repo

## 🔜 Quick Start ## Quick Start
```bash ```bash
curl -sL "https://gitea.com/gitea/gitea-mcp/releases/download/v1.3.0/gitea-mcp_Darwin_arm64.tar.gz" -O gitea-mcp.tar.gz # 1. Install the gitea-mcp binary
tar xzf gitea-mcp.tar.gz bash install.sh
cp gitea-mcp /opt/homebrew/bin/gitea-mcp
chmod +x /opt/homebrew/bin/gitea-mcp # 2. Get a Gitea access token
gitea-mcp -v # should output: 1.3.0 # → Your Gitea → Settings → Applications → Generate Token
# → Scopes: read:repository, write:repository, read:issue, write:issue
# 3. Edit ~/.config/goose/config.yaml
# Copy the entry from goose-config.yaml into the `extensions:` section
# Replace YOUR_GITEA_INSTANCE and YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
# 4. Restart Goose and start a BRAND NEW chat
``` ```
## 🩇 Links ## Architecture
- Goose: https://github.com/AAIF/goose ```
- Gitea MCP Server: https://gitea.com/gitea/gitea-mcp ┌──────────┐ stdio MCP ┌──────────────┐ REST API ┌──────────┐
- This Gitea instance: https://gt.covalente.dk │ Goose │ ◄────────────────► │ gitea-mcp │ ◄────────────────► │ Gitea │
│ (agent) │ (stdin/stdout) │ (Go binary) │ (HTTPS, token) │ Server │
└──────────┘ └──────────────┘ └──────────┘
```
- Goose spawns `gitea-mcp` as a child process on demand (no background servers)
- `gitea-mcp` translates MCP tool calls into Gitea REST API calls
- SSH (port 222) is configured separately for `git clone/push/pull`

## Configuration Reference
```yaml
gitea:
enabled: true
type: stdio # Goose spawns the binary as a child process
name: Gitea
cmd: /usr/local/bin/gitea-mcp # Full path to the binary
args:
- -t
- stdio # MCP transport: stdio (not http)
- -H
- https://YOUR_GITEA # Your Gitea instance URL
- -T
- YOUR_TOKEN # Personal access token
envs: {} # Token in args, not env vars
timeout: 300 # 5-minute timeout for long operations
bundled: null # User-installed, not bundled
available_tools: [] # Empty = allow all 53 tools
```
### Why `/usr/local/bin/gitea-mcp`?
Goose's `resolve_command` uses the Rust `which` crate which reliably resolves short command names (like `npx`, `uvx`) from PATH. For absolute paths, the fallback `PathBuf::from(cmd)` is used, which works correctly. Both short names (`gitea-mcp`) and absolute paths work — we recommend absolute paths for clarity.
## SSH Setup (for git operations)
The MCP handles API calls. For `git clone/push/pull`, add to `~/.ssh/config`:
```
Host YOUR_GITEA_HOST
Port 222
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/your_key
```
## Critical: Start a New Session
After adding the extension to `config.yaml`, **you must start a brand new chat session** in Goose. Existing sessions cache their extension list and won't pick up newly added extensions.
## Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Fix |
|---------|-----|
| Gitea tools don't appear | Start a new chat session |
| "No such file or directory" | Check binary path: `ls -la /usr/local/bin/gitea-mcp` |
| "401 Unauthorized" | Verify token: `curl -H "Authorization: token TOKEN" https://GITEA/api/v1/user` |
| "Extension not valid" | New session needed — extension cached in old session |
| Config entry skipped silently | Check YAML indentation (2 spaces for gitea, 4 for fields) |
See the [Troubleshooting wiki](https://gt.covalente.dk/oval/goose-gitea-guide/wiki/Troubleshooting) for detailed diagnostics.
