The MCP server now covers CI secrets and variables, releases and tags, webhooks, branch protection, repo settings and repo conversion. This is the second pass of tool coverage.
MCP server docsThe MCP server groups its tools from 102 individual endpoints into 15 resource-scoped tools. AI coding agents see a cleaner tool list, and each tool accepts a subcommand parameter to select the operation.

The setup-opentofu action is now available in the action mirror. Reference it in your workflows the same way you would on GitHub.
Action mirrors docsYou can now pay with iDEAL, PayPal or SEPA Direct Debit in addition to card. Select your preferred method during checkout or change it from the Billing tab.
Billing docsPull request diffs now classify files as test or source and group them in the file tree and diff pane. Source files appear first, tests below a divider. Toggle the grouping on or off from the toolbar.

Billing docsForgejo 15.0.9
upstreamCodebahn now runs on upstream Forgejo 15.0.9, carrying its fixes and security updates.
Third-party MCP clients now identify themselves with a Client ID Metadata Document instead of open dynamic registration. Claude Code, Codex and VS Code connect as before; Cursor needs a personal access token until it supports CIMD. Thanks to Mamun Khanka for the report.
MCP server docsHTTP/3
featureQUIC is enabled on codebahn.net. Repeat visitors save 1-2 round trips on reconnect.
Git rate limiting
securityPush, pull, and clone operations are rate-limited per user over both HTTP and SSH.

CI runners docsFirst-party analytics
featureThe analytics script is served through codebahn.net directly. No third-party domain is loaded.
The MCP server and CLI gained list_pr_commits, get_commit_diff, and compare_refs for AI-assisted code review. Tools now declare whether they are read-only or destructive.
Disposable email blocking
securityAbout 4,000 disposable email domains and 15 high-abuse TLDs are blocked at signup.
Username rules
featureThree-character minimum. mcp and demo reserved.

Action mirrors docsSolo perk for Crew members
pricingCrew organizations can sponsor a personal Solo account for every member at no extra cost. Members accept from their billing page and keep storage and CI on their personal account.
