GitLab PR Analysis MCP Server

This project provides an MCP (Model Control Protocol) server that integrates GitLab merge request analysis with Confluence documentation. It allows you to fetch merge request details, analyze code changes, and store the results in Confluence pages.

Features

Fetch merge request details from GitLab
Analyze code changes in merge requests
Generate detailed reports including:
- Basic merge request information
- Code change statistics
- File type analysis
- Detailed file changes
Store analysis results in Confluence
Comprehensive logging for debugging

Prerequisites

Python 3.8 or higher
GitLab account with API access
Confluence account (optional, for storing analysis results)
Access to the required GitLab project(s)

Installation

Clone the repository:

git https://github.com/CodeByWaqas/MRConfluenceLinker-mcp-server.git cd MRConfluenceLinker-mcp-server

Create and activate a virtual environment:

python -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows, use: .venv\Scripts\activate

Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

uv add "mcp[cli]" python-gitlab python-dotenv atlassian-python-api requests

Configuration

Copy the example environment file:

cp .env.example .env

Edit the .env file with your credentials:

GITLAB_URL=https://gitlab.com GITLAB_TOKEN=your_gitlab_token GITLAB_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id # Optional Confluence integration CONFLUENCE_URL=your_confluence_url CONFLUENCE_USERNAME=your_username CONFLUENCE_TOKEN=your_confluence_token CONFLUENCE_SPACE=your_space_key

Obtaining Credentials

GitLab Token: Generate a personal access token in GitLab with api scope
Confluence Token: Generate an API token in your Atlassian account settings

Usage

Start the MCP server:

python src/MRConfluenceLinker-mcp-server/server.py

Setup with Claude Desktop

# claude_desktop_config.json # Can find location through: # Claude -> Settings -> Developer -> Edit Config { "mcpServers": { "MRConfluenceLinker-mcp-server": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/<Absolute-path-to-folder>/MRConfluenceLinker-mcp-server/src/MRConfluenceLinker-mcp-server", "run", "server.py" ] } } } 2. The server will listen for commands through stdin/stdout. You can interact with it using prompts like:

Can you fetch details for merge request #1 from project "my-project"? Can you analyze code changes in merge request #1 from project "my-project"? Can you store a summary of merge request #1 from project "my-project" in Confluence?

## Available Tools The server provides the following tools: 1. `fetch_mr_details`: Fetches details of a specific merge request or all merge requests - Parameters: - `project_id`: The GitLab project ID - `mr_id` (optional): Specific merge request ID 2. `analyze_code_changes`: Analyzes code changes in a merge request - Parameters: - `project_id`: The GitLab project ID - `mr_id`: The merge request ID to analyze 3. `store_in_confluence`: Stores analysis results in Confluence - Parameters: - `project_id`: The GitLab project ID - `mr_id` (optional): Specific merge request ID - `analysis` (optional): Analysis results to store ## Logging The server generates detailed logs in `mcp_server.log` and outputs to stderr. This helps in debugging issues with: - GitLab API access - Confluence integration - Code analysis - Page creation and updates ## Error Handling The server includes comprehensive error handling for: - Missing environment variables - API authentication issues - Network connectivity problems - Invalid project or merge request IDs - Confluence permission issues ## Contributing 1.
