Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function that calls the GitLab API to retrieve details for a specific branch in a project.
    async getBranchDetails(projectPath: string, branchName: string): Promise<any> {
      const encodedProjectPath = encodeURIComponent(projectPath);
      const encodedBranchName = encodeURIComponent(branchName);
      return this.callGitLabApi<any>(
        `projects/${encodedProjectPath}/repository/branches/${encodedBranchName}`,
      );
    }
  • src/index.ts:1937-1951 (registration)
    The registration and dispatch handler in the MCP server that calls the GitLabService.getBranchDetails method.
    case 'gitlab_get_branch_details': {
      if (!gitlabService) {
        throw new Error('GitLab service is not initialized.');
      }
      const { projectPath, branchName } = args as { projectPath: string; branchName: string };
      const result = await gitlabService.getBranchDetails(projectPath, branchName);
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: 'text',
            text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2),
          },
        ],
      };
    }
