Plan

No plan — bug fix. Project context: project-ai-agency

Repo

forgejo_admin/forgejo-mcp — the Forgejo MCP server

User Story

As an agent orchestrator (Betty Sue)
I need a create_repo MCP tool
So that I can create new Forgejo repos without falling back to raw curl with hardcoded credentials

Acceptance Criteria

When I call mcp__forgejo__create_repo(name="test-repo", description="test")
Then a new repo is created on Forgejo
And the tool returns the repo URL and clone URL

Additional Information

Discovered during plan-2026-03-01-dora-metrics-dashboard Phase 1. Had to use raw curl POST /api/v1/user/repos with credentials from ~/secrets/ to create pal-e-dora-exporter.

The MCP has 12 tools covering the PR lifecycle (issue -> branch -> PR -> review -> merge) but missed the repo creation step that precedes it. POST /api/v1/user/repos needs to be wrapped in tools/workflows.py.

Parameters needed: name (required), description (optional), auto_init (default true), default_branch (default "main"), private (default false).

Checklist

create_repo tool added to tools/workflows.py
Returns repo URL and clone URL
MCP server restarts cleanly with new tool
