Implementation Reference
- src/gitlab.service.ts:678-699 (handler)Core implementation of the gitlab_update_issue tool. This method constructs the update payload and makes the PUT request to the GitLab API to update the specified issue.
async updateIssue(projectPath: string, issueIid: number, updates: { title?: string; description?: string; labels?: string[]; assigneeIds?: number[]; state?: 'close' | 'reopen'; }): Promise<any> { const encodedProjectPath = encodeURIComponent(projectPath); const body: any = {}; if (updates.title) body.title = updates.title; if (updates.description) body.description = updates.description; if (updates.labels) body.labels = updates.labels.join(','); if (updates.assigneeIds) body.assignee_ids = updates.assigneeIds; if (updates.state) body.state_event = updates.state; return this.callGitLabApi<any>( `projects/${encodedProjectPath}/issues/${issueIid}`, 'PUT', body, ); } - src/index.ts:897-925 (registration)Registers the 'gitlab_update_issue' tool in the MCP server, defining its name, description, and input schema.
