Implementation Reference

src/index.ts:2050-2064 (handler)

MCP tool handler for gitlab_add_comment_to_issue: extracts arguments, calls GitLabService.addCommentToIssue, and returns success response.

case 'gitlab_add_comment_to_issue': {
  if (!gitlabService) {
    throw new Error('GitLab service is not initialized.');
  }
  const { projectPath, issueIid, body } = args as { projectPath: string; issueIid: number; body: string };
  const result = await gitlabService.addCommentToIssue(projectPath, issueIid, body);
  return {
    content: [
      {
        type: 'text',
        text: `Comment added successfully: ${JSON.stringify(result, null, 2)}`,
      },
    ],
  };
}

src/gitlab.service.ts:707-714 (helper)

Core implementation in GitLabService: calls GitLab API to POST a note (comment) to the specified issue.

async addCommentToIssue(projectPath: string, issueIid: number, body: string): Promise<any> {
  const encodedProjectPath = encodeURIComponent(projectPath);
  return this.callGitLabApi<any>(
    `projects/${encodedProjectPath}/issues/${issueIid}/notes`,
    'POST',
    { body },
  );
}
