# 🐍 Gerrit MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for interacting with the Gerrit code
review system. This server allows a language model like Gemini to query changes,
retrieve details, and manage reviews by executing `curl` commands against the
Gerrit REST API.

This server can be run as a persistent **HTTP server** or on-demand via **STDIO**.

For detailed information, please see the documents in the `docs/` directory:

*   **[Configuration](docs/configuration.md)**: A detailed guide to the `gerrit_config.json` file and all authentication methods.
*   **[Testing Guide](docs/testing.md)**: Instructions on how to run the unit, integration, and E2E tests.
*   **[Gemini CLI Setup](docs/gemini-cli.md)**: How to configure the Gemini CLI to use this server.
*   **[Best Practices](docs/best_practices.md)**: Tips for using the server effectively.

## 🚀 Getting Started

### Install from PyPI (Recommended)

For quick use, install directly from PyPI:

```bash
# Run directly with uvx (no installation required)
uvx gerrit-mcp-server stdio

# Or install first
uv pip install gerrit-mcp-server
gerrit-mcp-server stdio

# Run HTTP server on specific port
gerrit-mcp-server --host localhost --port 6322
```

### Configure the Server

#### Method 1: Global Configuration (Recommended)

Create a personal configuration file that works for all projects:

```bash
# Create config directory
mkdir -p ~/.config

# Copy config template
# If installing from source:
cp gerrit_mcp_server/gerrit_config.sample.json ~/.config/gerrit_config.json

# If installing from PyPI, manually create ~/.config/gerrit_config.json
vim ~/.config/gerrit_config.json
```

Save the following content to the configuration file and modify as needed:

```json
{
  "default_gerrit_base_url": "https://your-gerrit.com/",
  "gerrit_hosts": [
    {
      "name": "My Gerrit",
      "external_url": "https://your-gerrit.com/",
      "authentication": {
        "type": "http_basic",
        "username": "your-username",
        "auth_token": "your-http-password"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

**Configuration notes**:
- Replace `your-username` with your Gerrit username
- Replace `your-http-password` with your Gerrit HTTP password (generate in Gerrit Settings → HTTP Password)
- Replace `https://your-gerrit.com/` with your Gerrit server URL

After configuration, you can run the server directly:

```bash
gerrit-mcp-server stdio
```

#### Method 2: Project Configuration

Create `gerrit_config.json` in your project root directory:

```bash
cp gerrit_mcp_server/gerrit_config.sample.json ./gerrit_config.json
vim ./gerrit_config.json
```

#### Method 3: Temporary Configuration

Specify configuration file using command-line parameter:

```bash
gerrit-mcp-server --config /path/to/your/config.json stdio
```

**💡 Tip**: See the [Configuration Guide](docs/configuration.md) for all authentication methods and advanced configuration options.

### Install from Source

To install from source, follow these steps:

#### 1. Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following tools installed and available in your system's `PATH`. 

*   **Python 3.11+**: The build script requires a modern version of Python.
*   **curl**: The standard command-line tool for transferring data with URLs.

#### 2. Build the Environment

Run the build script from the root of the `gerrit-mcp-server` project directory.
This will create a Python virtual environment, install all dependencies, and
make the server ready to run.

```bash
./build-gerrit.sh
```

#### 3. Configure the Server

You will need to create a `gerrit_config.json` file inside the
`gerrit_mcp_server` directory. Copy the provided sample file
`gerrit_mcp_server/gerrit_config.sample.json` and customize it for your
environment. See the **[Configuration Guide](docs/configuration.md)** for
details on all available options.

```bash
cp gerrit_mcp_server/gerrit_config.sample.json gerrit_mcp_server/gerrit_config.json
```

#### 4. Run the Server (HTTP Mode)

To run the server as a persistent background process, use the `server.sh` script:

*   **Start the server:**
    ```bash
    ./server.sh start
    ```
*   **Check the status:**
    ```bash
    ./server.sh status
    ```
*   **Stop the server:**
    ```bash
    ./server.sh stop
    ```

For on-demand STDIO mode, please see the **[Gemini CLI Setup Guide](docs/gemini-cli.md)**.
