Overview

What is GitLab-MCP-Server?

GitLab-MCP-Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates with GitLab to fetch pipeline failure details, unresolved merge request review comments, and MR changes from a specific project. It provides this data to AI assistants (e.g., Claude) so they can help diagnose issues, address review feedback, and review code changes.

How to use GitLab-MCP-Server?

Install via uv (uv sync), obtain a GitLab API token with read_api scope, and set the environment variables GITLAB_URL, GITLAB_PROJECT_NAME, GITLAB_API_KEY, and GIT_REPO_PATH. Add the server configuration to Claude for Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json) or Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json) using the uv command and main.py script.
