MCP operator shell menu
Purpose
./mcp-menu.sh is a repository-root terminal menu for onboarding and operating
the Gitea-Tools MCP/Gitea workflow without memorizing every prompt, script path,
or runbook section.
It is intentionally safe by default: status checks and copy-paste workflow prompts. It does not delete branches, force-push, edit lock files, or bypass sanctioned MCP tools.
How to run
From the repository root:
./mcp-menu.sh
The script must be executable (chmod +x mcp-menu.sh). It uses bash with
set -euo pipefail.
Safety rules
- Read-only by default — root checkout health is inspection only.
- No destructive git — no
git push --force, branch deletion, or--deleterefspecs. - No lock-file editing — issue locks are acquired only through
gitea_lock_issue. - No raw API bypass — prompts direct operators to sanctioned MCP tools.
- Remote mutations require confirmation — any future menu action that would mutate remote or server state must be clearly labeled and require explicit operator confirmation before running.
- Author work stays under
branches/— the root checkout is a stable control checkout onmaster/prgs/master.
Menu options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Project status / root checkout health | Shows cwd, branch, git status --short --branch, HEAD SHA, prgs/master SHA, and warnings when the root checkout is dirty or off master. |
| Author workflow prompts | Ready-to-copy prompts for issue work, conflict-fix sessions, and root checkout recovery. |
| Reviewer workflow prompts | PR review prompt (review-only; no merge). |
| Merger workflow prompts | PR merge prompt (merge gates and explicit approval). |
| Reconciler workflow prompts | Already-landed / closed PR reconciliation prompt. |
| Onboarding new project | Checklist prompt for adding a repository to the MCP workflow. |
| Proxmox deployment placeholder | Not implemented — informational message only. |
| Create Proxmox LXC placeholder | Not implemented — informational message only. |
| Run tests | Runs ./run-tests.sh when present; otherwise venv/bin/python -m pytest; otherwise fails closed with a clear error. |
| Exit | Quit the menu. |
Placeholder-only entries
Proxmox deployment and Create Proxmox LXC are placeholders until dedicated issues implement sanctioned automation. The menu prints a clear message and does not invoke deploy scripts.
