# Release and tag call signatures
Verified against the live MCP tool schemas at authoring time (not copied from upstream API docs,
which can drift from the deployed gitea-mcp version). `owner` and `repo` are required strings on
every tool below and are omitted from the per-tool lists for brevity.
## Releases
**`list_releases`**
- Optional: `is_draft` (boolean), `is_pre_release` (boolean), `page` (number, default 1), `per_page` (number, default 20)
- Returns an array of release objects (shape below), one page at a time.
**`get_release`**
- Required: `id` (number) — the release's numeric id, not its tag name.
- Returns a single release object.
**`get_latest_release`**
- No parameters beyond `owner`/`repo`.
- Returns a single release object for the most recently published (non-draft, non-prerelease by Gitea's own "latest" definition) release.
**`create_release`**
- Required: `tag_name` (string), `target` (string — branch, tag, or commit SHA to cut the tag from), `title` (string)
- Optional: `body` (string — release notes), `is_draft` (boolean), `is_pre_release` (boolean)
- If `tag_name` doesn't already exist as a tag, Gitea creates it against `target` as part of this call.
**`delete_release`**
- Required: `id` (number) — same numeric id as `get_release`. Does not accept `tag_name`.
- Does not delete the underlying tag.
**Release object shape** (returned by list/get/create/latest):
```
id, tag_name, target, title, body, draft, prerelease, html_url, author, created_at, published_at
```
`author` is the creator's login. `body` holds the release notes.
## Tags
**`list_tags`**
- Optional: `page` (number, default 1), `per_page` (number, default 20)
- Returns an array of `{ name, commit_sha }` — no `message` field on list responses.
**`get_tag`**
- Required: `tag_name` (string)
- Returns `{ name, message, commit_sha }` — the only tag call that returns `message`.
**`create_tag`**
- Required: `tag_name` (string)
- Optional: `target` (string — commitish to tag; if omitted, Gitea tags the default branch tip), `message` (string — annotated tag message)
**`delete_tag`**
- Required: `tag_name` (string). Does not accept a numeric id.
- Does not delete any release wrapping the tag.
## Pagination
None of the list tools auto-paginate. To collect a full result set, call with `page: 1`, then
`page: 2`, etc., stopping when a page returns fewer items than `per_page`. `list_releases` and
`list_tags` default `per_page` to 20 — lower than the 30-default used by most other gitea-mcp list
tools, so a caller assuming 30 will under-count pages needed for a fixed total.

# Release and tag conventions
Practitioner conventions that inform *how* to use the mechanics in `call-signatures.md` — not
additional tool schemas.
## Release wraps a tag, not the reverse
A release is a title, body (notes), and draft/prerelease flags layered on top of an existing or
newly-created tag. The tag is the git-level object (a name pointing at a commit); the release is a
Gitea-level metadata wrapper around it. This is why `delete_release` and `delete_tag` are separate
calls with separate identifiers (numeric id vs. tag name) — removing the wrapper never implies
removing the underlying pointer, and vice versa.
## Semver tag naming
Per the `tea` CLI (the reference Gitea client), tag names conventionally follow semver with a `v`
prefix: `v1.2.0`, `v2.0.0-beta.1`. This is a convention observed by tooling and humans, not a
Gitea-enforced constraint — the API accepts any string as `tag_name`. Don't validate or rewrite a
caller-supplied tag name against semver; just pass it through.
## Draft and prerelease are explicit flags
`draft` and `is_pre_release`/`prerelease` are booleans the caller sets directly on `create_release`
— Gitea does not infer either from the tag name, even though the `-beta`/`-rc` suffix convention
above is commonly used to signal a prerelease to humans. When a user asks to "cut a beta" or
"publish a release candidate," set `is_pre_release: true` explicitly in the same call rather than
relying on the tag string to carry that meaning.
## Release notes sourcing
Practitioner convention (per `tea`) is to source release notes (`body`) from a changelog file
rather than typing them inline for each release — useful context when a caller asks to "generate"
or "use the changelog for" release notes rather than write them from scratch.
