efficient-gitlab

A locally run Model Context Protocol server for GitLab, a service for hosting code and managing software projects. It uses two general-purpose tools to reveal information gradually and requires a GitLab access token and API URL.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps an agent connect to GitLab through the GitLab API; the description does not specify which GitLab operations are available.
Why use it?
Its gradual information flow is intended to reduce the amount of context an agent needs to process while using GitLab.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Grade A, and why

efficient-gitlab scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

efficient-gitlab is an MCP server published in the GitHub repository detailobsessed/efficient-gitlab-mcp (3 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. Its token cost is not measured: an MCP server costs its tool schemas, not its config file. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It comes from a forked repository.
