What's missing

The MCP server exposes add_issue_labels but has no corresponding remove_issue_labels tool. There is no way to remove a label from an issue via MCP — you can only add them.

The Forgejo API has DELETE /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{index}/labels/{id} but it's not wired up.

Why it matters

Without this, an MCP agent that adds a label (e.g. in_progress) during a workflow has no way to clean it up when the work is done. This breaks simple automation patterns that rely on label lifecycle.

Proposed tool

remove_issue_labels — mirrors add_issue_labels exactly:

Same parameters: owner, repo, index, labels (comma-separated numeric IDs)
Same return value: updated issue object after removal
Implementation loops over IDs and calls DeleteIssueLabel once per label (the API is per-ID, unlike the bulk add)

I have an implementation ready on my fork if you'd like me to open a PR.
