gitlab_get_current_project
Retrieve current GitLab project details by automatically detecting the repository from git remotes. No parameters needed when working in a git repository with GitLab remote.
Instructions
Auto-detect project from git repository Returns: Same as gitlab_get_project Use when: Working in a git repo with GitLab remote No parameters needed: Examines git remotes
How it works:
Checks git remotes in current/specified directory
Identifies GitLab URLs
Fetches project details from API

Implementation Reference
- src/mcp_gitlab/tool_handlers.py:100-107 (handler)The primary handler function for the 'gitlab_get_current_project' tool. It extracts an optional 'path' argument (defaults to current directory), calls the GitLabClient's get_current_project method to detect the project from git remotes, and returns the project details or an error if no GitLab project is found.
def handle_get_current_project(client: GitLabClient, arguments: Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) -> Dict[str, Any]: """Handle getting current project using git detection""" path = get_argument(arguments, "path", ".") result = client.get_current_project(path) if not result: return {"error": ERROR_NO_PROJECT} return result - The MCP tool schema definition specifying the input parameters (optional 'path' string for git directory) and description for 'gitlab_get_current_project'.
