Gitea
Teams running Gitea for lightweight, self-hosted Git need quick answers about instance configuration, templates, and organizations. Your AI agent queries the Gitea API to surface repository settings, gitignore templates, license info, and more, turning admin lookups into instant chat responses.




From gitignore templates to organization listings, your AI agent surfaces Gitea configuration data and server metadata so your team spends less time navigating admin panels.
Gitea
See how teams running Gitea use AI to accelerate repository setup, simplify instance administration, and remove friction from developer onboarding.
A developer wants to spin up a Go project with the right gitignore and license. Your AI Agent lists available gitignore templates, recommends Go, retrieves the MIT license content, and presents both for review. The developer copies the templates into their new repo, all from one chat exchange instead of navigating three different admin pages.
Your infrastructure team manages multiple Gitea instances across environments. Before rolling out an upgrade, the ops engineer asks the AI Agent for the current version of each connected instance. The agent returns precise version numbers instantly, letting the team confirm which servers need updating without SSH-ing into each machine.
A new hire asks which teams exist on the company Gitea instance. Your AI Agent lists all organizations with pagination, describes each one, and helps the developer find where their project lives. Instead of asking three colleagues or scrolling through the web UI, the new hire gets oriented in a single conversation.

FAQs
Yes, as long as your Gitea instance is reachable over HTTPS with a valid API key. On-premise, cloud-hosted, and containerized Gitea deployments all work. The agent connects to whichever base URL your Gitea instance runs on, whether that is a custom domain or an internal IP.
The API key requires access to the endpoints you want the agent to use. For basic operations like listing templates, checking versions, and browsing organizations, a standard user token is sufficient. Admin-level tokens are needed only for instance-wide settings retrieval.
The current integration focuses on instance metadata, templates, organizations, and rendering endpoints. It can retrieve organization-level action secrets for auditing purposes. Direct pipeline triggering or workflow management is not part of the current subtool set.
No. The current API endpoints available through this integration cover templates, settings, organizations, and markdown rendering. Repository file contents and source code are not accessed. Your codebase stays private within your Gitea instance.
Yes. Gitea's render markup endpoint supports multiple formats including Markdown, AsciiDoc, and others depending on your Gitea configuration. The agent passes the content with the appropriate mode parameter to get correctly formatted HTML output.
The Gitea web UI requires navigating multiple pages to find templates, check versions, or browse organizations. With Tars, your team asks a question in chat and gets the answer immediately. No login screens, no page navigation, just instant responses from your Gitea data.
Yes. The agent can retrieve the ActivityPub Person actor for any Gitea user, providing ActivityStreams-formatted data useful for understanding federated identity across Gitea instances. This supports teams exploring Gitea's decentralized collaboration features.
If the Gitea API is unreachable, the agent informs the user that the instance is currently unavailable and suggests checking server status. It does not retry indefinitely or hang. The conversation continues, and the user can try the query again once the instance is back online.
Don't limit your AI Agent to basic conversations. Watch how to configure and add powerful tools making your agent smarter and more functional.
