Snippet

Example: {"action":"content","params":{...}} For the params schema of any action, read the MCP resource gitlab://schema/meta/gitlab_snippet/.

Manage GitLab snippets (personal, project-scoped, and explore feed): CRUD snippet metadata and content, threaded discussions, notes (project snippets only), and award emoji on snippets and snippet notes. Delete is destructive and irreversible. When to use: store/share standalone code or text outside a repo, comment on existing snippets, react with emoji on a snippet or snippet note, browse public snippets via explore. NOT for: files in a repository (use gitlab_repository), wiki pages (use gitlab_wiki), MR/issue notes (use gitlab_mr_review or gitlab_issue), custom group emoji (use gitlab_custom_emoji — enterprise).

Returns:

• *_list / list_all / explore: array with pagination.

• *_get / *_create / *_update: snippet object {id, title, file_name, files, visibility, author, web_url, raw_url}.

• content / project_content: raw snippet body as text.

• file_content: raw content of a single file in a multi-file snippet.

• discussion_* / note_*: discussion or note object.

• emoji_*: award emoji object.

• *_delete: {success: bool, message: string}. Errors: 404 not found, 403 forbidden (hint: requires Reporter+ for project snippets; private snippets require ownership), 400 invalid params (hint: visibility ∈ private/internal/public).

Param conventions: * = required. List actions accept page, per_page. visibility ∈ private/internal/public.

Personal snippets:

• list / list_all / explore: (no required params)

• get / content: snippet_id*

• file_content: snippet_id*, file_path*

• create: title*, file_name*, content*, visibility, description

• update: snippet_id*, title, file_name, content, visibility, description

• delete: snippet_id*

Project snippets:

• project_list: project_id*

• project_get / project_content: project_id*, snippet_id*

• project_create: project_id*, title*, file_name*, content*, visibility

• project_update: project_id*, snippet_id*, title, file_name, content, visibility

• project_delete: project_id*, snippet_id*

Discussions (threaded):

• discussion_list: snippet_id*

• discussion_get: snippet_id*, discussion_id*

• discussion_create: snippet_id*, body*

• discussion_add_note: snippet_id*, discussion_id*, body*

• discussion_update_note: snippet_id*, discussion_id*, note_id*, body*

• discussion_delete_note: snippet_id*, discussion_id*, note_id*

Notes (project snippets only) — all need project_id*, snippet_id*:

• note_list: order_by, sort

• note_get / note_delete: note_id*

• note_create: body*

• note_update: note_id*, body*

Award emoji — all need project_id*, snippet_id* (snippet emoji) or project_id*, snippet_id*, note_id* (note emoji):
