  • GITLAB_API_URL: Your GitLab API URL. (Default: https://gitlab.com/api/v4)
  • GITLAB_READ_ONLY_MODE: When set to 'true', restricts the server to only expose read-only operations. Useful for enhanced security or when write access is not needed. Also useful for using with Cursor and it's 40 tool limit.
