GitLab MCP Server

GitLab MCP Server (in Python)

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for GitLab integration, built on FastMCP.

This server is implemented in Python, with fastmcp.

Quick Start

Build the Docker image:

docker build -t gitlab-mcp-server .

Integration with Cursor/Claude

In MCP Settings -> Add MCP server, add this config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitlab": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--rm",
        "-i",
        "-e",
        "GITLAB_TOKEN",
        "-e",
        "GITLAB_URL",
        "gitlab-mcp-server:latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GITLAB_TOKEN": "token",
        "GITLAB_URL": "https://gitlab.com/"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: Don't forget to replace GITLAB_TOKEN and GITLAB_URL values with your actual GitLab credentials and instance URL.
