- The core handler function for gitlab_compare_branches that validates parameters and calls the GitLab API to compare two branches/tags/commits in a project.
export const compareBranches: ToolHandler = async (params, context) => { const { project_id, from, to } = params.arguments || {}; if (!project_id || !from || !to) { throw new McpError(ErrorCode.InvalidParams, 'project_id, from, and to are required'); } const response = await context.axiosInstance.get( `/projects/${encodeURIComponent(String(project_id))}/repository/compare`, { params: { from, to } } ); return formatResponse(response.data); }; - src/utils/tools-data.ts:243-264 (schema)JSON schema defining the input parameters for the gitlab_compare_branches tool.
