silverwind bba612d238 Consolidate tools from 110 to 45 using method dispatch (#143)
Consolidate 110 individual MCP tools down to 45 using a method dispatch pattern, aligning tool names with the GitHub MCP server conventions.

**Motivation:** LLMs work better with fewer, well-organized tools. The method dispatch pattern (used by GitHub's MCP server) groups related operations under read/write tools with a `method` parameter.

**Changes:**
- Group related tools into `_read`/`_write` pairs with method dispatch (e.g. `issue_read`, `issue_write`, `pull_request_read`, `pull_request_write`)
- Rename tools to match GitHub MCP naming (`get_file_contents`, `create_or_update_file`, `list_issues`, `list_pull_requests`, etc.)
- Rename `pageSize` to `perPage` for GitHub MCP compat
- Move issue label ops (`add_labels`, `remove_label`, etc.) into `issue_write`
- Merge `create_file`/`update_file` into `create_or_update_file` with optional `sha`
- Make `delete_file` require `sha`
- Add `get_labels` method to `issue_read`
- Add shared helpers: `GetInt64Slice`, `GetStringSlice`, `GetPagination` in params package
- Unexport all dispatch handler functions
- Fix: pass assignees/milestone in `CreateIssue`, bounds check in `GetFileContent`

# CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
## Development Commands
**Build**: `make build` - Build the gitea-mcp binary
**Install**: `make install` - Build and install to GOPATH/bin
**Clean**: `make clean` - Remove build artifacts
**Test**: `go test ./...` - Run all tests
**Hot reload**: `make dev` - Start development server with hot reload (requires air)
**Dependencies**: `make vendor` - Tidy and verify module dependencies
## Architecture Overview
This is a **Gitea MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server** written in Go that provides MCP tools for interacting with Gitea repositories, issues, pull requests, users, and more.
**Core Components**:
- `main.go` + `cmd/cmd.go`: CLI entry point and flag parsing
- `operation/operation.go`: Main server setup and tool registration
- `pkg/tool/tool.go`: Tool registry with read/write categorization
- `operation/*/`: Individual tool modules (user, repo, issue, pull, search, wiki, etc.)
**Transport Modes**:
- **stdio** (default): Standard input/output for MCP clients
- **http**: HTTP server mode on configurable port (default 8080)
**Authentication**:
- Global token via `--token` flag or `GITEA_ACCESS_TOKEN` env var
- HTTP mode supports per-request Bearer token override in Authorization header
- Token precedence: HTTP Authorization header > CLI flag > environment variable
**Tool Organization**:
- Tools are categorized as read-only or write operations
- `--read-only` flag exposes only read tools
- Tool modules register via `Tool.RegisterRead()` and `Tool.RegisterWrite()`
**Key Configuration**:
- Default Gitea host: `https://gitea.com` (override with `--host` or `GITEA_HOST`)
- Environment variables can override CLI flags: `MCP_MODE`, `GITEA_READONLY`, `GITEA_DEBUG`, `GITEA_INSECURE`
- Logs are written to `~/.gitea-mcp/gitea-mcp.log` with rotation
## Available Tools
The server provides 45 MCP tools covering:
- **User**: get_me, get_user_orgs
- **Search**: search_users, search_repos, search_org_teams
- **Repository**: create_repo, fork_repo, list_my_repos
- **Branches**: list_branches, create_branch, delete_branch
- **Tags**: list_tags, get_tag, create_tag, delete_tag
- **Files**: get_file_contents, get_dir_contents, create_or_update_file, delete_file
- **Commits**: list_commits
- **Issues**: list_issues, issue_read, issue_write
- **Pull Requests**: list_pull_requests, pull_request_read, pull_request_write, pull_request_review_write
- **Labels**: label_read, label_write
- **Milestones**: milestone_read, milestone_write
- **Releases**: list_releases, get_release, get_latest_release, create_release, delete_release
- **Wiki**: wiki_read, wiki_write
- **Time Tracking**: timetracking_read, timetracking_write
- **Actions Runs**: actions_run_read, actions_run_write
- **Actions Config**: actions_config_read, actions_config_write
- **Version**: get_gitea_mcp_server_version
## Common Development Patterns
**Testing**: Use `go test ./operation -run TestFunctionName` for specific tests
**Token Context**: HTTP requests use `pkg/context.TokenContextKey` for request-scoped token access
**Flag Access**: All packages access configuration via global variables in `pkg/flag/flag.go`
**Graceful Shutdown**: HTTP mode implements graceful shutdown with 10-second timeout on SIGTERM/SIGINT
