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.
