What is the GitLab MCP Server?

The GitLab MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server allows you to programmatically interact with GitLab repositories and resources. It's a bridge between your code and GitLab's API, enabling automation of various tasks.

What can I do with the GitLab MCP Server?

You can create and update files, manage issues and merge requests, search repositories, fork projects, retrieve file contents, push multiple files in a single commit, and manage project labels. It provides a wide range of tools for GitLab automation.

How do I set up the GitLab MCP Server?

You'll need to set up a GitLab personal access token and provide the GitLab API URL as environment variables (GITLAB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN and GITLAB_API_URL). Then, you can run the server using `npx @zereight/mcp-gitlab` or integrate it into tools like Claude App, Cline, Roo Code, or Cursor.

What are some example tools available in the GitLab MCP Server?

The server provides tools like `create_or_update_file` (to manage files), `push_files` (for multi-file commits), `search_repositories` (to find projects), and `create_merge_request` (to initiate merge requests), among others, facilitating a broad range of automation possibilities within GitLab.

What are the advantages of using @zereight/mcp-gitlab?

@zereight/mcp-gitlab includes bug fixes and improvements over the original GitLab MCP server, providing a more stable and reliable experience for automating your GitLab workflows.
