GitLab project and CI/CD management for AI agents via MCP

What is the com.mcparmory/gitlab MCP server?

The GitLab MCP server enables AI agents to manage GitLab projects, groups, branches, merge requests, and CI/CD pipelines through the Model Context Protocol. It provides full API coverage generated from GitLab's OpenAPI specification and tested against the live API.

This server connects Claude and other AI agents to GitLab, allowing them to automate project management tasks, create and review merge requests, manage branches, and monitor CI/CD pipelines. It's ideal for developers who want AI assistance with GitLab workflows without leaving their AI client.

Install & Usage

Every server is a standalone PyPI package (mcparmory-<server-name>). Each server's own README.md has full credential setup and configuration instructions.

# With uvx (no install needed)
uvx mcparmory-github

# With pip
pip install mcparmory-github
mcparmory-github

MCP client configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Claude Code):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcparmory-github"],
      "env": {
        "BEARER_TOKEN": "ghp_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Features

Every server in this registry provides:

  • Full API coverage — all endpoints from the OpenAPI spec are exposed as MCP tools
  • Authentication — API key, Bearer token, Basic auth, OAuth2, JWT, OpenID Connect, and mutual TLS
  • Multi-auth — servers that support multiple auth methods let you configure whichever you prefer
  • Pydantic validation — request parameters are validated before sending to the API
  • Resilience — configurable retries with exponential backoff, connection pooling, and timeouts
  • Response sanitization — optional redaction of sensitive fields from API responses

How servers are generated

Servers are generated by MCP Blacksmith, an automated pipeline that:

  1. Parses an OpenAPI specification
  2. Transforms operations through LLM-driven passes (naming, parameter filtering, enhancement, classification)
  3. Generates a complete MCP server with auth, models, validation, and configuration
  4. Tests every tool against the live API using an autonomous agent
  5. Deploys passing servers to this registry

The generator targets Python 3.11+ and uses FastMCP as the MCP framework.

Contributing

Servers are auto-generated — don't edit server code directly. If you find an issue, open a GitHub Issue describing:

  • Broken or deprecated endpoints
  • Missing or incorrect parameters
  • Authentication problems
  • Incorrect request/response models

We'll re-generate the affected server with the fix. To request a new server, open an issue with a link to the API's OpenAPI spec or documentation.

License

Each generated server is released under the MIT License. The underlying APIs have their own terms of service — see individual server READMEs for details.
