# Gerrit Code Review This MCP server lets an AI agent inspect Gerrit changes, diffs, and discussions, then post reviews or change states when write groups are enabled. - MCP server · `type=mcp` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Cline, Zed, Gemini CLI · ★ 9 - Author: GaijinEntertainment - License: MIT · policy=link-only · description only; the file stays with the author - Source: https://github.com/GaijinEntertainment/go-gerrit-mcp - Updated: 2026-10-09 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/gerrit-code-review ## What it does Gerrit Code Review uses stdio to expose Gerrit actions as model-readable, semantically tagged text. An agent can search with Gerrit’s change query syntax, inspect a change, list revision files, open a file diff, and read comment threads. Unresolved discussions are the default comment view. Access is split into `read`, `comment`, and `transition` groups. A fresh setup exposes reading only. Write tools appear only after explicit configuration, while `own-changes-only` blocks comments, votes, and state transitions on changes owned by other accounts until that restriction is disabled. The server targets Gerrit 3.13+ and takes HTTP credentials from `GERRIT_URL`, `GERRIT_USERNAME`, and `GERRIT_TOKEN`. It can run in Docker, with settings passed through environment variables. All three variables are required for startup. ## Requirements - Needs: Docker - Environment variables: `GERRIT_URL`, `GERRIT_USERNAME`, `GERRIT_TOKEN`, `GERRIT_MCP_GROUPS`, `GERRIT_MCP_PROJECTS`, `GERRIT_MCP_OWN_CHANGES_ONLY`, `GERRIT_MCP_REVIEW_NOTIFICATIONS`, `GERRIT_MCP_REVIEW_NOTIFICATIONS_POLL_INTERVAL`, `GERRIT_MCP_REVIEW_NOTIFICATIONS_INCLUDE_OWN`, `GERRIT_MCP_REVIEW_NOTIFICATIONS_EXCLUDE_ACCOUNTS` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) **Platform CLI** ```bash claude mcp add --env GERRIT_URL= --env GERRIT_USERNAME= --env GERRIT_TOKEN= --env GERRIT_MCP_GROUPS= --env GERRIT_MCP_PROJECTS= --transport stdio gerrit-code-review -- docker run -i --rm -e GERRIT_URL -e GERRIT_USERNAME -e GERRIT_TOKEN -e GERRIT_MCP_GROUPS -e GERRIT_MCP_PROJECTS ghcr.io/gaijinentertainment/go-gerrit-mcp:1.1.3 ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 6 more environment variables are in the server README ### Codex **Platform CLI** ```bash codex mcp add gerrit-code-review --env GERRIT_URL= --env GERRIT_USERNAME= --env GERRIT_TOKEN= --env GERRIT_MCP_GROUPS= --env GERRIT_MCP_PROJECTS= -- docker run -i --rm -e GERRIT_URL -e GERRIT_USERNAME -e GERRIT_TOKEN -e GERRIT_MCP_GROUPS -e GERRIT_MCP_PROJECTS ghcr.io/gaijinentertainment/go-gerrit-mcp:1.1.3 ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 6 more environment variables are in the server README ### Cursor **Config file** File `.cursor/mcp.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "gerrit-code-review": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "GERRIT_URL", "-e", "GERRIT_USERNAME", "-e", "GERRIT_TOKEN", "-e", "GERRIT_MCP_GROUPS", "-e", "GERRIT_MCP_PROJECTS", "ghcr.io/gaijinentertainment/go-gerrit-mcp:1.1.3" ], "env": { "GERRIT_URL": "", "GERRIT_USERNAME": "", "GERRIT_TOKEN": "", "GERRIT_MCP_GROUPS": "", "GERRIT_MCP_PROJECTS": "" } } } } ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 6 more environment variables are in the server README ### GitHub Copilot **Config file** File `.vscode/mcp.json`: ```json { "servers": { "gerrit-code-review": { "type": "stdio", "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "GERRIT_URL", "-e", "GERRIT_USERNAME", "-e", "GERRIT_TOKEN", "-e", "GERRIT_MCP_GROUPS", "-e", "GERRIT_MCP_PROJECTS", "ghcr.io/gaijinentertainment/go-gerrit-mcp:1.1.3" ], "env": { "GERRIT_URL": "", "GERRIT_USERNAME": "", "GERRIT_TOKEN": "", "GERRIT_MCP_GROUPS": "", "GERRIT_MCP_PROJECTS": "" } } } } ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 6 more environment variables are in the server README ### Gemini CLI **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini mcp add -e GERRIT_URL= -e GERRIT_USERNAME= -e GERRIT_TOKEN= -e GERRIT_MCP_GROUPS= -e GERRIT_MCP_PROJECTS= gerrit-code-review docker run -i --rm -e GERRIT_URL -e GERRIT_USERNAME -e GERRIT_TOKEN -e GERRIT_MCP_GROUPS -e GERRIT_MCP_PROJECTS ghcr.io/gaijinentertainment/go-gerrit-mcp:1.1.3 ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 6 more environment variables are in the server README ## When to use it - search Gerrit changes with a query - inspect a revision’s file diff - review unresolved comment threads - post comments and update a change state ## Example prompts - Search Gerrit for open changes in project `core` and show their owners. - Inspect this change, including its files, diff, and unresolved discussions. - Review my change and post a comment about the issue you found. ## Similar - [open-code-review](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/open-code-review.md) — skill · 6900 installs - [om-code-review](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/om-code-review.md) — skill · 3000 installs - [om-review-prs](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/om-review-prs.md) — skill · 2600 installs - [difit-review](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/difit-review.md) — skill · 1900 installs - [hunk-review](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/hunk-review.md) — skill · 1800 installs - [review-delta](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/review-delta.md) — skill · 1200 installs --- NeVibeCode on affpapa.org.
