Implementation Reference

• gitlab_clone_mcp_server/server.py:1289-1313 (handler)

  The handler function for the 'share_project_with_group' tool. It shares a GitLab project with a group by making a POST request to /projects/{project_id}/share with group_id, group_access, and optional expires_at.

  @mcp.tool()
  async def share_project_with_group(project_id: int, group_id: int, group_access: int, expires_at: str = None, token: str = None, ctx=None) -> str:
      """Share project with a group.

• gitlab_clone_mcp_server/server.py:11-52 (helper)

  Helper function used by share_project_with_group to make the actual GitLab API request with authentication handling.
