Development Guide

Install Dependencies

npm install

Build

npm run build

After successful build, /dist will contain the runnable MCP server.

Run Server

npm start

The MCP server will run on stdio, allowing it to be used as a subprocess by MCP clients.

Build Docker Image

You can also run the server using Docker:

docker build -t normalcoder/gitee-mcp-server .

Run MCP Server with Docker:

docker run -e GITEE_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=<YOUR_TOKEN> normalcoder/gitee-mcp-server

Debug MCP Server

You can use @modelcontextprotocol/inspector for debugging:

Create a .env file in the root directory for environment variables:

GITEE_API_BASE_URL=https://gitee.com/api/v5
GITEE_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=<YOUR_TOKEN>

Run the debug tool to start the service and web debug interface:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npm run start --env-file=.env

The project includes a debug() function for printing debug information, usage:

import { debug } from './common/utils.js';

debug('Message to log');
debug('Message with data:', { key: 'value' });

Debug logs are only printed when the DEBUG environment variable is set to true.
