There are two ways to set this up: - Via [Composio Connect MCP](https://dashboard.composio.dev/) - Via the [Composio CLI](https://dashboard.composio.dev/) ## Also integrate Gitea with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/vscode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio? Composio provides a single MCP server or CLI tool that exposes a set of meta-tools, allowing you to: - Connect to 1,000+ apps with on-demand tool loading, so you do not fill your LLM context window with unnecessary tool definitions. - Use programmatic tool calling through a remote Bash tool, letting LLMs write their own code to handle complex tool chaining. This reduces back-and-forth for frequent tool calls. - Handle large tool responses outside the LLM context to keep conversations lean. ## Connect Gitea to OpenCode ### Connect Gitea with OpenCode ### Option 1: Using Composio CLI ### 1. Install Composio CLI Install the Composio CLI, authenticate, and initialize your project: ```bash # Install the Composio CLI curl -fsSL https://composio.dev/install | bash # Authenticate with Composio composio login ``` ## What is the Gitea MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Gitea MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Gitea account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Gitea operations on your behalf. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `GITEA_ACTIVITYPUB_PERSON` | Get ActivityPub Person Actor | Tool to retrieve the ActivityPub Person actor for a Gitea user.

Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single MCP endpoint, your agent can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation. ## How to build Gitea MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/vscode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gitea/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Supabase](https://composio.dev/toolkits/supabase) - Supabase is an open-source backend platform offering scalable Postgres databases, authentication, storage, and real-time APIs.

With a standalone Gitea MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Gitea tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Gitea and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with OpenCode? Yes, you can. OpenCode fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Gitea tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Gitea while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Gitea scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Gitea data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) ยท [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
