## Current Status
The GitLab MCP Server has been enhanced with improved documentation, developer workflows, and project attribution:
1. **Auto-generated Documentation**: Created a script that generates TOOLS.md from tools-data.ts to provide a complete reference of available tools
2. **Git Hooks**: Implemented a pre-commit hook to keep documentation in sync with code
3. **License**: Added MIT license file to clarify the project's licensing
4. **Attribution**: Updated README.md to acknowledge that this is an extended version of the MCP GitLab server
5. **Better Navigation**: Fixed anchor links in TOOLS.md for improved navigation, particularly for sections with special characters
6. **Documentation Organization**: Moved detailed tool documentation from README.md to TOOLS.md
7. **Developer Experience**: Added npm script for easy installation of git hooks
The server continues to provide a comprehensive set of GitLab operations through the MCP protocol, allowing AI assistants to interact with:
1. **GitLab Repositories**: Browse repositories, branches, files, and commit information
2. **Project Integrations**: Manage webhooks and service integrations, with specific support for Slack integration
3. **CI/CD Pipelines**: Configure and trigger pipelines, manage variables and schedules
4. **User & Group Management**: Administer users, groups, and access permissions
## Known Issues
1. No pagination support for list operations, which may result in incomplete results for large repositories
2. No caching mechanism for API responses
3. No support for GraphQL API (only REST API v4)
4. Limited test coverage for the new functionality
