01What it is

The most comprehensive community MCP server for GitLab (@zereight/mcp-gitlab): an agent can review merge requests with diff batching and approvals, manage issues and work items, control CI/CD pipelines, and browse repositories, commits, releases, and wikis — 170+ tools over a GitLab personal access token, with an optional read-only mode.

Who it’s for: Engineering teams on GitLab who want an agent that reviews MRs, triages issues, and operates pipelines from the loop.
