# Docker image naming mismatch (issue #181)

## Current state

The project repository is `gitea.com/gitea/gitea-mcp`, but the Docker image is
published as `docker.gitea.com/gitea-mcp-server`. This mismatch was raised in
[issue #181](https://gitea.com/gitea/gitea-mcp/issues/181).

## Maintainers' direction

Per the issue discussion, the maintainers' preferred long-term name is
`gitea/mcp-server`, matching the naming scheme used by `gitea/act_runner`
(published as a `runner`-style short name) and by comparable projects such as
`github/github-mcp-server`. The name `mcp-server` was preferred over
`gitea-mcp-server` because the repository is primarily run as a local client
process, not a traditional long-running server.

## Decision

No rename has happened yet; the discussion was explicitly left open in the
issue. The current image name, `docker.gitea.com/gitea-mcp-server`, remains in
use so that existing user configurations and documentation keep working.
`org.opencontainers.image.title` and `org.opencontainers.image.description`
labels were added to the `Dockerfile` to make the image self-describing
regardless of the tag it is published under.

If the image is renamed in the future, update the `docker.gitea.com/gitea-mcp-server`
references across `README.md`, `README.zh-cn.md` and `README.zh-tw.md` together
with this document.
