About this agent

GitLab's official MCP server, generally available since GitLab 19.5 on Free, Premium and Ultimate tiers. Agents can read and act on projects, issues, merge requests, pipelines and code. It runs on GitLab.com or your own self-managed instance at /api/v4/mcp and authenticates with OAuth or a fine-grained token. An administrator must enable MCP access for the group or instance first.
