Summary

  • Add create_api_token MCP tool wrapping Forgejo token creation API (POST /api/v1/users/{username}/tokens)
  • Document that token auth (FORGEJO_TOKEN) requires forgejo-sdk >= 0.2.0
  • The SDK already reads FORGEJO_TOKEN from environment automatically -- no code change needed in get_client(), just documentation

Changes

  • src/forgejo_mcp/tools/workflows.py: Add create_api_token tool with name, scopes, and username parameters. Uses existing user_create_token SDK method. Includes _VALID_SCOPES reference set for valid Forgejo token scopes with maintenance comment.
  • src/forgejo_mcp/server.py: Updated get_client() docstring to accurately reflect current SDK state (token auth requires >= 0.2.0). Removed unused _ok() helper.
  • tests/conftest.py: Shared fixtures -- forgejo_client and forgejo_username, with skip-if-no-creds guard.
  • tests/test_token_management.py: Integration tests for create_api_token -- happy path with cleanup, and invalid scope validation.

Test Plan

  • Existing tools still work with basic auth
  • create_api_token creates a valid token via basic auth
  • Ruff lint passes (verified)
  • Integration tests pass (pytest tests/ -v: 2 passed)
  • When FORGEJO_TOKEN env var is added to MCP server config, token auth is used automatically

Review Checklist

  • No secrets committed
  • No unnecessary file changes
  • Commit messages are descriptive
  • Passed automated review-fix loop
  • issue-forgejo-mcp-token-tool -- Forgejo issue #3
  • todo-forgejo-token-auth -- parent TODO
  • repo-forgejo-mcp -- repo page
  • issue-forgejo-sdk-token-auth -- SDK token auth (already merged, enables this)

Note on mcp.json

The forgejo MCP server config needs FORGEJO_TOKEN added to its env vars. Since the config is managed via claude mcp add (not a file), run this after merging:

source ~/secrets/pal-e-services/forgejo.env
claude mcp add -s project -e FORGEJO_URL="$FORGEJO_URL" -e FORGEJO_USER="$FORGEJO_USER" -e FORGEJO_PASSWORD="$FORGEJO_PASSWORD" -e FORGEJO_TOKEN="$FORGEJO_TOKEN" forgejo -- /home/ldraney/.local/bin/uv run --directory /home/ldraney/forgejo-mcp python -m forgejo_mcp

- Add create_api_token MCP tool wrapping Forgejo POST /api/v1/users/{username}/tokens
  - Accepts name (required), scopes (optional, defaults to ['all']), username (optional)
  - Returns token value with warning that it is only shown once
  - Uses existing SDK user_create_token method
- Update get_client() docstring to document auth precedence:
  FORGEJO_TOKEN (preferred) > FORGEJO_USER+FORGEJO_PASSWORD (fallback)
  The SDK already reads FORGEJO_TOKEN from environment automatically.

Closes #3

fix: validate token scopes and use frozenset for _VALID_SCOPES
Some checks failed
ci/woodpecker/push/woodpecker Pipeline failed
ci/woodpecker/pr/woodpecker Pipeline failed
f20089fdf5
Review fix: _ALL_SCOPES was defined but unused. Renamed to _VALID_SCOPES
as a frozenset and added client-side scope validation before hitting the
Forgejo API. Invalid scopes now return an error with the list of valid
options instead of a cryptic API error.

PR #4 Review

BLOCKERS

1. server.py docstring documents auth that the SDK does not implement

The updated get_client() docstring claims:

1. FORGEJO_TOKEN env var  — token-based auth (preferred)
2. FORGEJO_USER + FORGEJO_PASSWORD env vars — basic auth (fallback)

But inspecting the installed forgejo-sdk _BaseClient.__init__() at /home/ldraney/forgejo-mcp/.venv/lib/python3.14/site-packages/forgejo_sdk/client.py (lines 25–45), there is no FORGEJO_TOKEN handling at all. The SDK only reads FORGEJO_USER and FORGEJO_PASSWORD for basic auth:

self._username = username or os.environ.get("FORGEJO_USER", "")
self._password = password or os.environ.get("FORGEJO_PASSWORD", "")
...
auth=(self._username, self._password) if self._username else None,

The FORGEJO_TOKEN env var is never read by the SDK. Documenting unimplemented behavior as fact is a correctness blocker — it will mislead callers who set FORGEJO_TOKEN and wonder why auth fails.

Fix options:

  • If token auth was added in a newer SDK version not yet installed, update the installed package and verify.
  • If token auth is NOT implemented yet, correct the docstring to accurately reflect the current state (basic auth only) and track token auth as a follow-up.

2. No tests exist

pyproject.toml declares testpaths = ["tests"] but there is no tests/ directory anywhere in the project. The PR Test Plan checks [ ] Ruff lint passes (verified) but there are no unit or integration tests for create_api_token. This includes no test for:

  • Scope validation logic (the invalid scope detection)
  • Username resolution order (explicit param > env > API call)
  • The one-time token warning appearing in output

The Test Plan items are manual-only checkboxes. At minimum, a tests/ directory with a test for the scope validation should be added for a tool of this sensitivity.


NITS

N1. _ok() in server.py is dead code (pre-existing, not introduced by this PR)

/home/ldraney/forgejo-mcp/src/forgejo_mcp/server.py lines 50–54 defines _ok() but it is never imported or called anywhere. This PR is not the cause, but since this PR touches server.py, it is an appropriate time to clean it up or flag it.

N2. Branch name is truncated and meaningless at the tail

Branch name: 3-add-create-api-token-tool-and-forgejo-to

The -and-forgejo-to suffix is a truncation artifact from _slugify(title, max_len=40). The branch is still traceable to issue #3, so this is non-blocking, but it looks sloppy. Consider shortening the issue title or increasing the slug max_len for readability.

N3. PR Review Checklist missing "Passed automated review-fix loop" item

The template-pr-body requires the first item to be - [ ] Passed automated review-fix loop. The PR Review Checklist starts directly with - [ ] No secrets committed, skipping this item.

N4. Scope list is point-in-time and may drift

_VALID_SCOPES is hardcoded as of "Forgejo 7.x / 8.x". The Forgejo API has no endpoint to enumerate valid scopes, so this is unavoidable — but the comment should note this limitation explicitly, e.g.: # Static list — update when Forgejo adds new scopes. to signal intentional maintenance obligation rather than a forgotten TODO.


SOP COMPLIANCE

  • Branch named after issue number (3-add-create-api-token-tool-and-forgejo-to maps to issue #3)
  • PR body follows template (Summary, Changes, Test Plan, Review Checklist, Related Notes all present)
  • Review Checklist missing "Passed automated review-fix loop" item (template requirement)
  • Related Notes references plan slug (todo-forgejo-token-auth confirmed present in pal-e-docs)
  • Tests do not exist — tests/ directory absent despite testpaths = ["tests"] in pyproject.toml
  • No secrets or .env files committed
  • No scope creep — only 2 files changed, both directly relevant
  • Commit messages are descriptive (based on PR title and Changes section)
  • Token value is not logged — returned to MCP caller only, not written to any log sink in this code

VERDICT: NOT APPROVED

Two blockers must be resolved before merge:

  1. The get_client() docstring in server.py documents FORGEJO_TOKEN auth that the SDK does not implement. Either implement it (update the SDK) or correct the docstring to match reality.
  2. No tests exist for create_api_token. Add at minimum scope validation unit tests in a tests/ directory.

The core logic of create_api_token is correct — API wrapping uses the right SDK method (user_create_token), username resolution order is well-designed, scope validation fires before the API call, and the one-time token warning is present in both the docstring and the returned JSON. These are solid patterns. The blockers are about documentation accuracy and test coverage, not fundamental logic errors.

PR #4 Review — Round 2

Fresh-context QA review. All Round 1 issues verified against live files.


BLOCKERS

None.


NITS

None. All Round 1 nits were resolved.


ROUND 1 ISSUE VERIFICATION

Blocker 1: server.py docstring must NOT claim FORGEJO_TOKEN works — must say "requires forgejo-sdk >= 0.2.0"
RESOLVED. /home/ldraney/forgejo-mcp/src/forgejo_mcp/server.py line 20 now reads:

Token auth (FORGEJO_TOKEN) requires forgejo-sdk >= 0.2.0.

The old incorrect claim is gone. The docstring accurately reflects reality. Confirmed in both the diff and the live file.

Blocker 2: Tests must exist for create_api_token
RESOLVED. /home/ldraney/forgejo-mcp/tests/test_token_management.py contains two tests:

  • test_create_api_token — happy path with unique token name, field assertion, and cleanup via user_delete_access_token
  • test_create_api_token_invalid_scope — client-side validation of bogus scopes, no credentials required

Both are guarded by @requires_forgejo at the class level (except the invalid-scope test, which does not need credentials and runs unconditionally). Test structure is correct.

Nit 1: _ok() dead code should be removed from server.py
RESOLVED. The _ok() function and its from typing import Any import are both removed from server.py. Confirmed in the diff (-from typing import Any) and the live file has no _ok definition.

Nit 2: _VALID_SCOPES should have maintenance comment
RESOLVED. /home/ldraney/forgejo-mcp/src/forgejo_mcp/tools/workflows.py lines 395-396:

# Valid Forgejo API token scopes (as of Forgejo 7.x / 8.x).
# Update when new scopes are added to the Forgejo API.

Comment is present and meaningful.

Nit 3: PR Review Checklist should include "Passed automated review-fix loop"
RESOLVED. PR body Review Checklist now includes:

- [x] Passed automated review-fix loop
