What AI assistants are compatible with Custom GitLab?

Custom GitLab is designed to work with Claude and other MCP-compliant AI assistants. Any assistant that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) should be compatible.

What are the prerequisites for using Custom GitLab?

You'll need Node.js (v14 or higher) and a GitLab Personal Access Token with appropriate scopes (api, read_api, read_repository, write_repository) depending on the features you want to use.

What is Custom GitLab?

Custom GitLab is a modified GitLab MCP server that allows AI assistants to interact with your GitLab repositories for tasks like searching, creating files, creating issues, and more. It fixes issues found in the standard GitLab implementation.

How does Custom GitLab improve upon the standard GitLab MCP server?

This custom implementation fixes schema validation issues that were present in the standard GitLab MCP server implementation, specifically for the `search_repositories` tool, ensuring more reliable performance.
