GitLab MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes the entire GitLab API as MCP tools, resources, and prompts for AI assistants. Single static binary — zero dependencies.

Security first: Continuously monitored on SonarCloud with quality gates, coverage, and security scanning. Supports read-only mode, safe mode (dry-run preview), and self-hosted GitLab with TLS verification.

Highlights

• 1006 MCP tools — complete GitLab REST API v4 coverage across 162 domain sub-packages: projects, branches, tags, releases, merge requests, issues, pipelines, jobs, groups, users, wikis, environments, deployments, packages, container registry, runners, feature flags, CI/CD variables, templates, admin settings, access tokens, deploy keys, and more
• 28 meta-tools (43 with GITLAB_ENTERPRISE=true) — domain-grouped dispatchers that reduce token overhead for LLMs (optional, enabled by default). 15 additional enterprise meta-tools available for Premium/Ultimate features
• 11 sampling actions — LLM-assisted code review, issue analysis, pipeline failure diagnosis, security review, release notes, milestone reports, and more via gitlab_analyze meta-tool (MCP sampling capability)
• 4 elicitation tools — interactive creation wizards (issue, MR, release, project) with step-by-step user prompts
• 24 MCP resources — read-only data: user, groups, group members, group projects, projects, issues, pipelines, members, labels, milestones, branches, MRs, releases, tags, workspace roots, and 5 workflow best-practice guides
• 38 MCP prompts — AI-optimized: code review, pipeline status, risk assessment, release notes, standup, workload, user stats, team management, cross-project dashboards, analytics, milestones, audit
• 6 MCP capabilities — logging, completions, roots, progress, sampling, elicitation
• 44 tool icons — SVG data-URI icons on all tools, resources, and prompts for visual identification in MCP clients
• Pagination on all list endpoints with metadata (total items, pages, next/prev)
• Transports: stdio (default for desktop AI) and HTTP (Streamable HTTP for remote clients)
• Cross-platform: Windows, Linux & macOS, amd64 & arm64
• Self-hosted GitLab with self-signed TLS certificate support

Example Prompts

Once connected, just talk to your AI assistant in natural language:

"List my GitLab projects" "Show me open merge requests in my-app" "Create a merge request from feature-login to main" "Review merge request !15 — is it safe to merge?" "List open issues assigned to me" "What's the pipeline status for project 42?" "Why did the last pipeline fail?" "Generate release notes from v1.0 to v2.0"
