Install Gerrit Code Review in Claude Code

What you need first

  • Claude Code, installed.
  • Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.
  • Your own values for YOUR_GERRIT_URL,YOUR_GERRIT_USERNAME,YOUR_GERRIT_TOKEN.

Steps

  1. Run this in a terminal, in the project folder. It adds the server for you in that project; put --scope user after claude mcp add to have it in every project.
claude mcp add --env GERRIT_URL=YOUR_GERRIT_URL --env GERRIT_USERNAME=YOUR_GERRIT_USERNAME --env GERRIT_TOKEN=YOUR_GERRIT_TOKEN --transport stdio go-gerrit-mcp -- docker run -i --rm -e GERRIT_URL -e GERRIT_USERNAME -e GERRIT_TOKEN ghcr.io/gaijinentertainment/go-gerrit-mcp:1.1.3
  1. Replace YOUR_GERRIT_URL,YOUR_GERRIT_USERNAME,YOUR_GERRIT_TOKEN with your own values.
  2. Start Claude Code and type /mcp: the server is listed with its state.

Check it worked

Ask Claude Code: List the tools of go-gerrit-mcp.

If it does not start

The server starts, but its tools fail
A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
