Implementation Reference

• src/api/projects.ts:32-45 (handler)

  The implementation of the 'createRepository' tool which uses gitlabPost to call the GitLab API to create a new project.

  export async function createRepository(options: CreateRepositoryOptions): Promise<GitLabRepository> {
    if (!options?.name?.trim()) {
      throw new Error("Repository name is required");
    }
  
    const repository = await gitlabPost<GitLabRepository>("/projects", {
      name: options.name,
      description: options.description,
      visibility: options.visibility,
      initialize_with_readme: options.initialize_with_readme
    });
  
    return GitLabRepositorySchema.parse(repository);
  }

• src/server.ts:249-253 (registration)

  The handler case for 'create_repository' within the MCP server's CallToolRequest handler.

  case "create_repository": {
    const args = CreateRepositorySchema.parse(request.params.arguments);
    const repository = await api.createRepository(args);
    return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(repository, null, 2) }] };
  }

• src/schemas.ts:238-240 (schema)

  The Zod schema definition for 'CreateRepositorySchema' used for input validation of the 'create_repository' tool.

  export const CreateRepositorySchema = z.object({
    name: z.string().describe("Repository name"),
    description: z.string().optional().describe("Repository description"),
