file. Here's the required configuration:
Replace /path/to/your/workspace
with your actual workspace path. For example, if your project is in /Users/username/projects/gerrit-code-review-mcp
, use that path instead.
Make sure all paths in the configuration point to:
Your virtual environment's Python interpreter
The project's
server.py
fileThe correct working directory
The virtual environment's bin directory in the PATH
Implementation Details
The server uses Gerrit REST API to interact with Gerrit, providing:
Fast and reliable change information retrieval
Secure authentication using HTTP digest auth
Support for various Gerrit REST endpoints
Clean and maintainable codebase
HTTPS encryption for secure communication
Troubleshooting
If you encounter connection issues:
Verify your HTTP password is correctly set
Check GERRIT_HOST setting
Ensure HTTPS access is enabled on Gerrit server
Test connection using curl:
curl -u "username:http-password" https://your-gerrit-host/a/changes/Verify Gerrit access permissions for your account
