Reference MCP server for GitLab projects, issues, merge requests, and pipelines. Lets Claude read and write GitLab resources through the GitLab REST API. Originally a modelcontextprotocol reference; archived upstream.

What it does

  • GitLab project ops: file CRUD (auto-branching), push_files, search, create repo/issue/MR, fork, create_branch
  • npx `@modelcontextprotocol/server-gitlab` + GITLAB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN env
  • GITLAB_API_URL points it at self-hosted instances (default gitlab.com/api/v4)

When to use it

The GitLab twin of the GitHub MCP server: file edits, issues, merge requests from inside Claude. The auto-branch-on-write behavior is the nice touch — edits never land directly on your default branch.

Getting started

Create a GitLab PAT (api scope for full access; read_api + read_repository/write_repository for narrower), then:

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-gitlab"],
  "env": { "GITLAB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "glpat-...", "GITLAB_API_URL": "https://gitlab.com/api/v4" }
}

Things to know

Archived upstream; for active GitLab work check the newer gitlab-org maintained server before committing. Token in env = plaintext secret in your config file — prefer a read-scoped token for read-heavy use.
