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.

FAQ
- What is the Gitee MCP server?
- Gitee is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
- How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
- Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
- How are reviews shown for Gitee?
- This profile displays 10 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.5 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.
