Extract Gerrit config details into a reusable reference file The setup skill inlined the full configuration knowledge — the file location, all three authentication methods, and the config schema — which made it impossible for other skills to reuse without duplicating. Move that static reference into skills/setup/references/gerrit-config.md and trim SKILL.md to focus on the interactive setup flow, pointing at the reference for the details. This lets other skills consume the canonical config format from one place. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Change-Id: I38a85742bf420814c00d6831b0fca0ea6a6ac50a
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:
gerrit_config.json file and all authentication methods.Before you begin, ensure you have the following tools installed and available in your system's PATH.
pip if absent.Run the build script from the root of the gerrit-mcp-server project directory. This will create a virtual environment in .venv via uv sync and install all dependencies.
./build-gerrit.sh
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 for details on all available options.
cp gerrit_mcp_server/gerrit_config.sample.json gerrit_mcp_server/gerrit_config.json
Alternatively, if your harness supports skills (tested with Claude Code), the /gerrit:setup skill can create or repair this file for you interactively. See Interactive Setup.
To run the server as a persistent background process, use the server.sh script:
./server.sh start
./server.sh status
./server.sh stop
For on-demand STDIO mode, please see the Gemini CLI Setup Guide or, to use this server as a Claude Code plugin, the Claude Code Setup Guide.
