Introducing madtea

Git tooling was designed when the only developer in your terminal was you. Add an AI agent to that terminal, and familiar commands start failing in new ways: git remote -v leaks a token into the agent’s context, a well-meaning issue edit pastes over your bug repro steps, git reset --hard erases uncommitted work.

madtea is a Forgejo/Gitea client built for that shared terminal: one binary, two ways in. A gh-style CLI for you. An MCP server for your agent. Every command is safe to hand to an agent, and every guardrail explains itself to a human.

It’s tested against both forges, and against Codeberg specifically, where this project lives. Read the docs to get started, or the full case for madtea for the feature-by-feature argument.

madtea is maintained by sixfold.space - infrastructure for AI agents, applied here to the developer-tooling layer.
