PR Reviewer
Automated pull request review system using CrewAI Flows and MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools.
Performs three parallel reviews — code quality, security, and infrastructure — then synthesizes a consolidated report via a REST API. Supports both a direct API and a Gitea webhook integration that fetches diffs automatically and posts the review as a PR comment.
Features
- Code Review — style, best practices, maintainability (powered by Semgrep)
- Security Review — vulnerabilities, injection risks, auth issues (powered by Trivy)
- Infrastructure Review — Dockerfiles, Kubernetes manifests, IaC (powered by Hadolint + Checkov)
- Summarisation — merges all three reviews into a single actionable report
- REST API — FastAPI endpoints for health check, manual review trigger, and Gitea webhook
- Gitea Webhook — process PR events directly; fetches diffs, runs reviews, posts results as a PR comment
- Dockerized — multi-stage build with all tools bundled
Quick Start
Prerequisites
- Docker
- An LLM provider (OpenAI API key, Anthropic key, or a running Ollama instance)
Setup
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your LLM provider details
Run
docker compose up
Server starts at http://localhost:8000.
Test
# Health check
curl http://localhost:8000/api/v1/health
# Trigger a review
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v1/review \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{

JSON Response / PR Comment
LLM-agnostic via CrewAI's LLM abstraction — works with OpenAI, Anthropic, or Ollama.

POST /api/v1/gitea-webhook
Receives Gitea webhook events. Only processes pull_request events with actions opened, synchronize, or reopened. All other events and actions are ignored.
The endpoint:
- Validates the
X-Gitea-Signatureheader using HMAC-SHA256 (ifACCESS_GITEA_SECRETis configured) - Fetches changed files and their contents from the Gitea API
- Runs the full review pipeline (code, security, infrastructure, summariser)
- Posts the review summary as a comment on the PR via the Gitea API
Gitea Webhook Setup
1. Create an access token
In your Gitea instance, go to Settings → Applications → Generate New Token and create a token with read:repository scope.
2. Add the webhook
In your Gitea repository, go to Settings → Webhooks → Add Webhook → Gitea:
- Target URL:
http://<host>:30001/api/v1/gitea-webhook - HTTP Method:
POST - Secret: a random string (optional but recommended)
- Trigger On: Pull Request
3. Configure environment variables
Set the following in the container (or k8s secret):
| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
ACCESS_GITEA_URL |
yes | http://192.168.178.160:3000 |
Gitea instance base URL |
ACCESS_GITEA_TOKEN |
yes | — | Gitea personal access token with read:repository scope |
ACCESS_GITEA_SECRET |
no | "" |
Webhook secret; if set, signatures are validated |
Configuration
All configuration via environment variables in .env:
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
LLM_MODEL |
(required) | Model name (e.g. gpt-4, gemma4:31b-cloud) |
LLM_PROVIDER |
(required) | openai, anthropic, or ollama |
LLM_BASE_URL |
— | API base URL |
LLM_API_KEY |
— | API key (not needed for Ollama) |
ACCESS_GITEA_URL |
http://192.168.178.160:3000 |
Gitea instance base URL |
ACCESS_GITEA_TOKEN |
— | Gitea personal access token with read:repository scope |
ACCESS_GITEA_SECRET |
— | Webhook secret for HMAC-SHA256 signature verification |
TOTAL_FLOW_TIMEOUT |

Max seconds for full review |

Deployment
Kubernetes
The repo includes a CI pipeline (.gitea/workflows/build_push.yml) that builds a multi-arch Docker image, pushes it to the registry, and deploys to Kubernetes.
The k8s deployment uses a NodePort service exposing port 30001, which maps to the container's port 8000.
Environment variables are stored in a k8s secret (pr-reviewer-env). The CI pipeline creates this secret automatically — add ACCESS_GITEA_URL, ACCESS_GITEA_TOKEN, and ACCESS_GITEA_SECRET as Gitea repo variables/secrets.
