list_group_projects

Instructions

Args:
    group_name: GitLab group name or path
    per_page: Number of projects per page (max 100)
    token: GitLab Personal Access Token (optional)
    ctx: MCP context (automatically injected)

Implementation Reference

• gitlab_clone_mcp_server/server.py:1332-1333 (registration)

  Tool registered via @mcp.tool() decorator on the async function 'list_group_projects'. Registration is implicit through FastMCP's decorator pattern.

  @mcp.tool()
  async def list_group_projects(group_name: str, per_page: int = 50, token: str = None, ctx=None) -> str:

• gitlab_clone_mcp_server/server.py:1332-1357 (handler)

  Handler function for 'list_group_projects'. Takes group_name, per_page, optional token and ctx. Calls GitLab API /groups/{group_name}/projects to list all projects in a group, returning formatted output.

  @mcp.tool()

  Input schema via type hints and docstring: group_name (str, required), per_page (int, default 50, max 100), token (optional str), ctx (automatically injected MCP context). Output is a formatted string.
