Review Gitea and Forgejo pull requests in your JetBrains IDE

Gitea & Forgejo Pull Requests — a plugin for IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, PhpStorm, Rider and other IntelliJ-based IDEs (build 252 / 2025.2 and later). Sold through JetBrains Marketplace with a free trial that includes every feature.

If your team runs its own Gitea or Forgejo server, this plugin lets you review, comment on, approve and merge its pull requests without leaving the IDE. In IDEs that include the built-in MCP server, it also lets your AI coding agent read the review comments that are still unresolved, so the agent can work through reviewer feedback in the code you have open.

What you can do

• See the pull requests of the repository behind the project's git remote in the Gitea PRs tool window: open, closed or all. Selecting one shows its description, branches, whether it can be merged, and the review comments that are still unresolved.
• Review the changes in the IDE diff viewer. Open Diff shows every changed file, with the merge base on the left and the pull request head on the right.
• Comment on a line. In the diff that the plugin opens, right-click a line and choose Comment on This Line (Gitea/Forgejo) to comment on the new or the old side.
• Approve, request changes or comment, and merge with a merge commit, rebase or squash, using the permissions of your own access token.

Let your AI coding agent read the review

In IDEs that include the built-in MCP server, the plugin adds three tools to it. Enable Settings | Tools | MCP Server and connect your agent there:

The agent can only read. Approving and merging stay in your hands.

Maintained and supported

This is a paid product that we keep working on. Questions sent to gramshift.official@gmail.com get an answer within two business days for serious problems and within five business days for everything else, and errors inside the plugin can be reported straight from the IDE's error dialog.

Setup

1. Install Gitea & Forgejo Pull Requests from Settings | Plugins | Marketplace, then start the 7-day free trial in the dialog the IDE shows.
2. On your server, create a personal access token (Settings | Applications on Gitea or Forgejo) with the scopes repository: Read and Write and user: Read (Test Connection needs the user scope).
3. In the IDE, open Settings | Tools | Gitea & Forgejo, enter the server URL and the token, and click Test Connection.
4. Open a project whose git remote points to that server, then open the Gitea PRs tool window.
5. For AI agents: enable Settings | Tools | MCP Server and connect your agent. Ask it: "Read the unresolved review comments on pull request 12 and fix them."

Questions

How do I review Gitea pull requests in IntelliJ IDEA or PyCharm?

Install the Gitea & Forgejo Pull Requests plugin, enter your server URL and a personal access token in Settings | Tools | Gitea & Forgejo, and open the Gitea PRs tool window. It lists the pull requests of the repository behind the project's git remote. Open Diff shows the changes in the IDE diff viewer, where you can comment on a line, approve or request changes, and merge.

Does it work with Forgejo?

The plugin is built on the Gitea API v1 and tested with Gitea 1.24. Forgejo serves the same API. The free trial includes every feature, so you can try it against your own Forgejo server before buying.

Can Claude Code or another AI coding agent read the review comments on my Gitea pull request?

Yes, in IDEs that include the built-in MCP server. The plugin adds gitea_pr_unresolved_comments, which returns the review comments that still need work (file, line, author and text) and leaves out resolved comments, dismissed reviews and unsubmitted drafts, plus gitea_pr_list and gitea_pr_diff. The agent can only read: approving and merging stay in your hands.

Where is my access token stored?

Only in the IDE password safe. It is sent only in the Authorization header to the server you configured, never to redirects, and it is removed from error messages and logs. The plugin talks only to the server you configure.

Works with

Self-hosted Gitea servers (API v1; tested with Gitea 1.24) and Forgejo servers, in IntelliJ-based IDEs build 252 (2025.2) and later.

Privacy

If an error occurs inside the plugin, the IDE may offer to send an error report to JetBrains Marketplace (or sends it automatically if you turned on automatic error reporting in the IDE). The access token is never part of what the plugin writes to the log. See the Privacy Notice.
