Summary

The update_issue MCP tool in the Gitea MCP server is missing the milestone parameter, preventing programmatic milestone assignment during sprint planning.

Current Behavior

The update_issue tool only supports:

issue_number (required)
title
body
state
labels

Expected Behavior

Add milestone parameter to allow assigning/changing issue milestones:

Accept milestone ID (integer)
Accept null to remove milestone assignment

Implementation

File: mcp-servers/gitea/mcp_server/tools/issues.py

Add milestone parameter to update_issue function and include in API call payload.

@mcp.tool()
async def update_issue(
    issue_number: int,
    title: str = None,
    body: str = None,
    state: str = None,
    labels: list[str] = None,
    milestone: int = None,  # ADD THIS
    repo: str = None
) -> dict:

Acceptance Criteria

Add milestone parameter to update_issue tool
Update tool description to document new parameter
Test milestone assignment works correctly
Test milestone removal (passing null/0)

Context

Discovered during Sprint 5 planning when trying to assign issues to milestone programmatically.
