# GitLab MR Reviewer

AI-powered code review for GitLab merge requests. Ships as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for use with Kiro IDE, plus a standalone CLI for CI/CD pipelines.

Features

  • GitLab MR Analysis - Fetches MR diffs, threads, and metadata via GitLab API

  • Inline Code Comments - Posts review findings directly on changed lines with severity and category

  • Multi-Model Council - Runs multiple LLMs (via AWS Bedrock) in parallel for consensus-based review

  • Thread Management - Reply, resolve, reopen discussion threads; auto-resolve fixed issues

  • Noise Filtering - Automatically skips lockfiles, generated code, build output

  • Paginated Analysis - Handles large MRs without context overflow

  • Import Resolution - Follows imports to gather context from related files

  • Repository Profiles - Learns project architecture and conventions over time

  • CI/CD Integration - Standalone CLI for automated reviews in pipelines

  • Customizable Standards - Teams can add code-review-standards/ to their repos

Quick Start

1. Install

npm install -g gitlab-mr-reviewer

2. Configure

Create a .env file or set environment variables:

GITLAB_URL=https://gitlab.com
GITLAB_PAT=glpat-xxxxxxxxxxxx

3. Use with Kiro IDE

Add to your MCP config (~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitlab-mr-reviewer": {
      "command": "mr-review-mcp",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "GITLAB_URL": "https://gitlab.com",
        "GITLAB_PAT": "glpat-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

4. Use via CLI (CI/CD)

mr-review-cli --mr-url "https://gitlab.com/group/project/-/merge_requests/42"
mr-review-cli --project "group/project" --mr 42
mr-review-cli --mr-url $CI_MERGE_REQUEST_URL --dry-run
mr-review-cli --mr-url $CI_MERGE_REQUEST_URL --council

Multi-Model Council Review

Multiple AI models independently review the same MR in parallel, then findings are consolidated by consensus.
