What is the main difference between DataFaucet and Gitea?

DataFaucet captures browser API calls and creates MCP servers with structured tools for AI clients. Gitea is a self-hosted Git forge for repositories, issues, pull requests, and CI/CD. DataFaucet gives AI tool access to project data; Gitea provides the source code management itself.

Can I use DataFaucet with Gitea?

Yes. You can create a DataFaucet MCP server from your Gitea instance, giving your AI tools access to repo status, issue tracking, PR reviews, and CI pipeline results without switching tabs.

Which should I choose?

They solve different problems. Use Gitea for self-hosted Git repositories and collaboration. Use DataFaucet to give AI tools real-time access to Gitea data and any other web application via MCP.

Does Gitea support MCP?

No. Gitea has a REST API but does not provide MCP servers. DataFaucet creates MCP servers that any AI client (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf) can use to query repos, issues, PRs, and CI status.
