Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| project_id | No | Project identifier (auto-detected if not provided) Type: integer OR string Format: numeric ID or 'namespace/project' Optional: Yes - auto-detects from current git repository Examples: - 12345 (numeric ID) - 'gitlab-org/gitlab' (namespace/project path) - 'my-group/my-subgroup/my-project' (nested groups) Note: If in a git repo with GitLab remote, this can be omitted | |
| query | No | Search query Type: string Format: Free text search Searches in: Usernames, names, emails Matching: Partial, case-insensitive Examples: - 'john' (finds 'john', 'johnny', 'Johnson') - 'admin' (finds users with admin in name) - 'example.com' (finds users with that email domain) | |
| per_page | No | Number of results per page Type: integer Range: 1-100 Default: 20 Example: 50 (for faster browsing) Tip: Use smaller values (10-20) for detailed operations, larger (50-100) for listing | |
| page | No | Page number for pagination Type: integer Range: ≥1 Default: 1 Example: 3 (to get the third page of results) Note: Use with per_page to navigate large result sets |
Implementation Reference
- src/mcp_gitlab/tool_handlers.py:409-416 (handler)The core handler function for the 'gitlab_list_project_members' tool. It resolves the project ID (auto-detecting from git if not provided), extracts optional query, per_page, and page parameters, then calls the GitLabClient's get_project_members method to fetch and return the list of project members.
def handle_get_project_members(client: GitLabClient, arguments: Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) -> Dict[str, Any]: """Handle getting project members""" project_id = require_project_id(client, arguments) query = get_argument(arguments, "query") per_page = get_argument(arguments, "per_page", DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE) page = get_argument(arguments, "page", 1) return client.get_project_members(project_id, query, per_page, page) - src/mcp_gitlab/server.py:721-731 (schema)The input schema and description for the tool, defining parameters: project_id (string), query (string for searching members), per_page (int, default 50), page (int, default 1). Returned by @server.list_tools().
