GitLab
A comprehensive GitLab API wrapper that exposes 84 tools covering the full development lifecycle. You get project management, merge request workflows with inline code review and multi-line discussion threads, CI/CD pipeline control, approval rule configuration at both project and MR level, and CI/CD variable management for projects and groups. Supports both GitLab.com and self-hosted instances without requiring GitLab Duo or Premium tiers. Works in read-only mode if you want to lock down write operations. Built on FastMCP with clean Pydantic models. Particularly useful for teams managing complex approval workflows or automating pipeline operations across multiple projects, since it handles everything from creating commits with file actions to sequencing merge operations and retrying failed jobs.
