"USE_MILESTONE": "false", // use milestone api? "USE_PIPELINE": "false" // use pipeline api? } } } } ``` #### Docker - stdio ```mcp.json { "mcpServers": { "GitLab communication server": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "GITLAB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN", "-e", "GITLAB_API_URL", "-e", "GITLAB_READ_ONLY_MODE", "-e", "USE_GITLAB_WIKI", "-e", "USE_MILESTONE", "-e", "USE_PIPELINE", "iwakitakuma/gitlab-mcp" ], "env": { "GITLAB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_gitlab_token", "GITLAB_API_URL": "https://gitlab.com/api/v4", // Optional, for self-hosted GitLab "GITLAB_READ_ONLY_MODE": "false", "USE_GITLAB_WIKI": "true", "USE_MILESTONE": "true", "USE_PIPELINE": "true" } } } } ``` - sse ```shell docker run -i --rm \ -e GITLAB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_gitlab_token \ -e GITLAB_API_URL= "https://gitlab.com/api/v4"\ -e GITLAB_READ_ONLY_MODE=true \ -e USE_GITLAB_WIKI=true \ -e USE_MILESTONE=true \ -e USE_PIPELINE=true \ -e SSE=true \ -p 3333:3002 \ iwakitakuma/gitlab-mcp ``` ```json { "mcpServers": { "GitLab communication server": { "url": "http://localhost:3333/sse" } } } ``` #### Docker Image Push ```shell $ sh scripts/image_push.sh docker_user_name ``` ### Environment Variables - `GITLAB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN`: Your GitLab personal access token. - `GITLAB_API_URL`: Your GitLab API URL. (Default: `https://gitlab.com/api/v4`) - `GITLAB_READ_ONLY_MODE`: When set to 'true', restricts the server to only expose read-only operations. Useful for enhanced security or when write access is not needed. Also useful for using with Cursor and it's 40 tool limit. - `USE_GITLAB_WIKI`: When set to 'true', enables the wiki-related tools (list_wiki_pages, get_wiki_page, create_wiki_page, update_wiki_page, delete_wiki_page). By default, wiki features are disabled. - `USE_MILESTONE`: When set to 'true', enables the milestone-related tools (list_milestones, get_milestone, create_milestone, edit_milestone, delete_milestone, get_milestone_issue, get_milestone_merge_requests, promote_milestone, get_milestone_burndown_events). By default, milestone features are disabled. - `USE_PIPELINE`: When set to 'true', enables the pipeline-related tools (list_pipelines, get_pipeline, list_pipeline_jobs, get_pipeline_job, get_pipeline_job_output, create_pipeline, retry_pipeline, cancel_pipeline). By default, pipeline features are disabled. ## Tools 🛠️ +<!-- TOOLS-START --> 1. `create_or_update_file` - Create or update a single file in a GitLab project 2. `search_repositories` - Search for GitLab projects 3. `create_repository` -
