 pip install -e ".[dev]"
 ```
 
-Run tests:
+## Configuration
+
+The server requires two environment variables to connect to your Gitea instance:
+
+- `GITEA_API_URL`: Base URL of your Gitea instance (e.g., `https://gitea.example.com/api/v1`)
+- `GITEA_API_TOKEN`: Personal access token for authentication
+
+### Creating a .env File
+
+Create a `.env` file in your project directory:
+
+```bash
+GITEA_API_URL=https://gitea.example.com/api/v1
+GITEA_API_TOKEN=your_gitea_token_here
+```
+
+### Getting a Gitea API Token
+
+1. Log into your Gitea instance
+2. Navigate to Settings > Applications
+3. Under "Generate New Token", enter a name (e.g., "MCP Server")
+4. Select appropriate permissions (minimum: read/write for repositories)
+5. Click "Generate Token" and copy the token
+6. Add the token to your `.env` file
+
+## Usage with Claude Desktop
+
+Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:
+
+**Location:**
+- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
+- Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
+- Linux: `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
+
+**Configuration:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "gitea": {
+      "command": "python",
+      "args": ["-m", "gitea_mcp.server"],
+      "env": {
+        "GITEA_API_URL": "https://gitea.example.com/api/v1",
+        "GITEA_API_TOKEN": "your_gitea_token_here"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Or, if you prefer using a .env file:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "gitea": {
+      "command": "python",
+      "args": ["-m", "gitea_mcp.server"],
+      "cwd": "/path/to/gitea-mcp-remote"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Usage with Claude Code
+
+Add to your MCP settings file:
+
+**Location:** `~/.config/claude-code/mcp.json` (or your configured MCP settings path)
+
+**Configuration:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "gitea": {
+      "command": "python",
+      "args": ["-m", "gitea_mcp.server"],
+      "env": {

+### Code Quality
+
+This project uses:
+- Type hints throughout the codebase
+- Async/await for all I/O operations
+- Comprehensive error handling
+- Structured logging
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Authentication Errors
+
+If you receive authentication errors:
+
+1. Verify your `GITEA_API_TOKEN` is correct
+2. Check that the token has appropriate permissions
+3. Ensure your `GITEA_API_URL` includes `/api/v1` at the end
+4. Verify the Gitea instance is accessible from your network
+
+### Connection Errors
+
+If you cannot connect to Gitea:
+
+1. Check that `GITEA_API_URL` is correct and accessible
+2. Verify network connectivity to the Gitea instance
+3. Check for firewalls or proxies blocking the connection
+
+### Tool Not Found
+
+If Claude cannot find the tools:
+
+1. Restart Claude Desktop/Code after updating the configuration
+2. Verify the configuration file syntax is valid JSON
+3. Check that Python is in your PATH
+4. Ensure the package is properly installed (`pip list | grep gitea-mcp`)
