gitlab-mcp-skill

gitlab-mcp-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kirti12025/gitlab-mcp. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,633 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of gitlab-mcp-skill, MIT.

A guide for using GitLab tools from a coding agent. GitLab is a service for hosting code and managing collaborative software projects, including issues, merge requests, and automated pipelines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to manage merge requests, issues, repositories, branches, projects, labels, CI jobs, users, and—when enabled—pipelines, releases, webhooks, search, and other GitLab work.
Why use it?
It explains which GitLab tool groups are available and how optional groups are enabled. This reduces guesswork when working with a GitLab project through the agent.

Getting it into your agent

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gitlab-mcp-skill 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 5d ago.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to gitlab-mcp-skill — 28 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 121 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

gitlab-mcp

GitLab MCP server providing 204 tools: 202 tools across 19 toolsets, plus execute_graphql and the always-available discover_tools meta-tool.

For exact generated parameter tables, see docs/tools/. Use this file for workflow shape and high-signal parameter hints.

Enable all: GITLAB_TOOLSETS=all. Use GITLAB_TOOLS to enable individual tools outside their toolset. discover_tools can list and activate opt-in categories for the current session. execute_graphql is not in a toolset; enable it explicitly with GITLAB_TOOLS=execute_graphql.

Key Workflows

Code Review (see reference/code-review.md)

  1. list_merge_request_changed_files - get file paths only (no diffs)
  2. get_merge_request_file_diff - get diffs for 3-5 files per call (batch)
  3. create_merge_request_thread or create_draft_note - leave review comments
  4. bulk_publish_draft_notes - publish all drafts at once

MR Lifecycle (see reference/merge-requests.md)

create_merge_request -> review -> approve_merge_request -> merge_merge_request

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
