dispatch#67 fix #2 needed a read-only CI credential and hit a hard wall: Gitea's own token-creation and admin-user endpoints reject token auth outright -- POST /users/{u}/tokens returns 'auth required', POST /admin/users returns 'token does not have at least one of required scope(s), required=[write:admin]' -- for ANY existing token, by design. An existing token cannot mint another token or create an account; the only way through either endpoint is real basic auth as an actual site admin. That is exactly what a sandboxed agent session cannot safely hold. internal/adminbootstrap: the core bootstrap, HTTP-only, fully testable against a fake transport (5 tests, no network). Given real admin username/password, it creates the target account (or resets its password if it already exists -- deliberately unconditional, gated behind a required ConfirmServiceAccount flag since that reset is only safe for a dedicated bot account), mints it a scoped token by authenticating AS that account (Gitea requires this specifically -- an admin cannot mint on another account's behalf), grants it read-only collaborator access on named repos, and stores the result via a SecretStore -- never returning the token or either password to the caller. internal/localtools: the MCP tool wrapper (mint_service_account_token) and the real op-CLI-backed SecretStore (token passed via stdin, never argv, per the estate's own secret-handling rule). Deliberately its OWN package, not internal/tools -- this capability is far too dangerous to risk it ever being wired into RegisterAll and reachable from the shared HTTP gitea-mcp server, even behind OIDC. internal/mcp/stdio.go: a stdio JSON-RPC transport (one message per line, standard MCP stdio framing) for the existing registry.Tool interface -- the only transport gitea-mcp had before this was HTTP (server.go), which a sandboxed session can reach but a real admin password never should be piped through. cmd/gitea-admin-mcp: the binary. Meant to be spawned by a LOCAL Claude Code session (.mcp.json stdio server) or run by hand, via 'op run --env-file ~/.op-env' so admin credentials arrive just-in-time and never touch a sandboxed session. 11 new tests total, all passing under -race. Nothing in cmd/gitea-mcp (the shared HTTP server) changed.
gitea-mcp
Streamable HTTP MCP service exposing Gitea repo operations to Claude apps.

Quickstart
task setup:hooks # installs .githooks/pre-push — runs task check before every push
task check # context sync + lint + test + vet
task build # produces bin/gitea-mcp
This repo uses Trunk-Based Development. Commit directly to main. The pre-push
hook enforces the quality gate locally; CI re-runs task check on every push.
