GitLab Merge Requests, CI Pipelines & Issue Tracker MCP Server

Connect AI coding agents to GitLab self-hosted or cloud instances: inspect Merge Request diffs, debug failed GitLab CI jobs, and update issues.

⚡ 1-Click Agent & Developer Install

Zero Auth · Ready for Grok Bot, Claude Code & Cursor
claude mcp add gitlab -- npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-gitlab
Copy-Paste System Prompt / Routine Blueprint:
Connect to the GitLab Merge Requests, CI Pipelines & Issue Tracker MCP Server (gitlab-mcp) MCP server using `claude mcp add gitlab -- npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-gitlab`. First run a read-only discovery check invoking `gitlab_get_merge_request` to verify connectivity and credentials, then summarize the structured response and ask before executing any state-modifying tool calls.
