forge-manager-mcp 4.4.0a1

MCP server for the forge-manager skill — multi-platform forge operations layer (GitHub / Forgejo+Codeberg / GitLab / local docs store)

claude-skills-mcp-dev

Private dev repo for the active-claude-github Claude Code skill's MCP server. Consumer docs live at the publish target: https://codeberg.org/telejester-skills/telejester-claude-skills.

This repo is where MCP server development happens — Issues, Discussions, CI, Bazel build graph, tests. Releases are published to the publish-target repo linked above.

What lives here

• Python package active_claude_github_mcp/ implementing the MCP tool surface.
• tests/ — Bazel-orchestrated unit and integration tests in two layers: helper-level (#79, ephemeral repos) and tool-level (#89, persistent fixture repo at telejester-test-org/integration-fixture). See CONTRIBUTING.md for the build and test conventions and §Persistent fixture repo for the provisioning protocol.
• .github/workflows/ — CI (bazel test + bazel coverage on every PR; workflow_dispatch live-GitHub integration tests).
• Issues / Discussions / Project board cross-referenced with the skill dev repo at https://github.com/orgs/telejester-claude-skills/projects/1.

Bootstrapping a new project

scaffold_project is the MCP tool that stands up a new managed project end-to-end: creates the <org>/<name> public + <org>/<name>-dev private repo pair, seeds the standard label set, enables Discussions on the dev repo, creates a ProjectV2 board (linked to both repos) with the canonical Backlog → In Progress → In Review → Done / Parked Status field, seeds the Project and Session-Lock Discussions, and writes .claude/github-config.json with every resolved ID.

The tool is idempotent and pauses for exactly one manual step: creating the five Discussion categories (Project, Architecture, UX / UI, Ideas, claude-use-only) via the dev-repo's Settings page, which GitHub exposes no API for. Re-run the tool once the categories exist and it picks up where it left off.

The exact bootstrap flow — invocation, expected pauses, and follow-up open_session — lives in the consumer skill's §Self-Bootstrap Instructions: https://codeberg.org/telejester-skills/telejester-claude-skills.

Multi-repo relations (1.3.0+)

github-config.json accepts a related_repos list that tags each connected repo with one of six relationship types. The server uses these tags at dispatch time to gate cross-repo mutations per the skill's §Cross-repo work protocol:

Type	Gate
subsystem, publish_target, sibling, neighbor	Allowed
cousin (different org, skill-managed)	Blocked — requires explicit user permission per operation
foreign (no write access)	Blocked — treat as informational only

Blocks surface as a non-buffered OperationError with manual_step populated; no GitHub calls are issued. Unknown targets (not declared in related_repos) pass through — the preflight doesn't invent policy for undeclared repos.

The pre-1.3.0 contribution_target type still parses for backward compat but emits a DeprecationWarning at load. Migrate each entry to its precise sub-type at next config edit.
