Implementation Reference
- src/gitlab.service.ts:574-586 (handler)Core handler function implementing the gitlab_trigger_pipeline tool. Posts to GitLab API to create a new pipeline for the specified project and ref, with optional variables.
// New tool: Trigger Pipeline async triggerPipeline(projectPath: string, ref: string, variables?: Record<string, string>): Promise<any> { const encodedProjectPath = encodeURIComponent(projectPath); const body: any = { ref }; if (variables) { body.variables = Object.entries(variables).map(([key, value]) => ({ key, value })); } return this.callGitLabApi<any>( `projects/${encodedProjectPath}/pipeline`, 'POST', body, ); } - src/index.ts:697-717 (registration)Registers the gitlab_trigger_pipeline tool in the MCP tools list, including name, description, and input schema.
