gitlab-mcp

MCP server for GitLab — gives AI assistants access to CI pipelines, job logs, repositories, branches, merge requests, and commits through the GitLab REST API.

Why

CI failures, pipeline status, and MR reviews are a constant context-switch. This server lets an AI assistant fetch job logs, retry failures, inspect diffs, and comment on MRs without the developer leaving their current task.
