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.
