GitLab MCP Server

A fully typed TypeScript Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for comprehensive GitLab integration.

Quick Start

1. Get a GitLab Token

Create a GitLab Personal Access Token with api, read_user, and read_repository scopes.

2. Add to Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitlab": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@alosies/gitlab-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "NPM_CONFIG_TOKEN": "your-gitlab-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Start Using

Ask Claude things like:

"List my GitLab projects"
"Show me open issues in myproject"
"Create a merge request from feature-branch to main"
"Comment on MR #42 in myproject"
