Help the user create or update their Gerrit MCP Server configuration. ## Build check Before touching the config, verify the server environment and config state by running: ``` UV_PROJECT_ENVIRONMENT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/.venv" uv run --directory "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}" gerrit-check-config ``` Interpret the result as follows: - **`uv run` itself fails** (uv not found, env broken, package not installed): offer to run `./build-gerrit.sh` from the repo root. Do not proceed until it succeeds. - **Exit 0**: config is already valid — skip to the "config already exists" flow and ask what the user wants to change. - **Exit 1** (config file missing): proceed directly into the "create new config" flow. - **Exit 2** (config invalid — bad JSON or `default_gerrit_base_url` mismatch): show the error output, then offer to fix the existing file in place (preserving valid entries where possible) rather than starting from scratch. ## Config file location The config file is `gerrit_mcp_server/gerrit_config.json` relative to the repo root (see `references/gerrit-config.md` for the override env var). Check whether it already exists before proceeding. ## What to do **If the config already exists**, read it, show the current hosts, and ask the user what they want to change: add a host, modify a host, remove a host, or update the default URL. Apply the change and write the updated file. **If the config does not exist**, guide the user through creating it: 1. Ask for their primary Gerrit instance URL (or use `$ARGUMENTS` if a URL was provided). 2. Ask which authentication method they use for that host — present the three options from `references/gerrit-config.md` (`git_cookies`, `gob_curl`, `http_basic`). 3. Collect the additional fields required by the chosen method. 4. Ask if they have more Gerrit hosts to add; repeat steps 2–3 for each. 5. Set `default_gerrit_base_url` to the first host's URL. 6. Write the complete JSON to `gerrit_mcp_server/gerrit_config.json` and confirm success. ## Configuration details See [gerrit config reference](references/gerrit-config.md) for the full configuration reference: authentication methods (with example JSON snippets for each), the config schema, the file location and `GERRIT_CONFIG_PATH` override, and the optional `internal_url` field. Consult it when collecting fields and assembling the file.
