GitLab MCP Server

io.github.jmrplens/gitlab-mcp-serverv3.3.0Git & Code Hosting

Go MCP server for GitLab: 2 dynamic tools reach ~876 actions on Free/CE, up to ~1103 on Ultimate.

The current version, v3.3.0, was published to the official MCP registry on 2026-10-20. It is distributed as @jmrp.io/gitlab-mcp-server on npm and as jmrplens-gitlab-mcp-server on PyPI and as the Docker image ghcr.io/jmrplens/gitlab-mcp-server:3.3.0@sha256:88784f176a65d934c4a181eb832a525e94f106f49189cb9c6fde907dd00cf19c and as a hosted remote over streamable-http, filed under Git & Code Hosting by this index, and declares 19 environment variables. Removals and unreachable sources are measured across every server this index tracks, contract drift across the servers that answer in consecutive snapshots; the index's current counts put this record in context.

In-path gate · all MCP tools

Using GitLab MCP Server in Claude, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Cline, or Zed?

MCP tool contracts can change remotely with no version bump. The mcpindex gate pins each contract and HOLDs the call when it drifts-before your agent acts. Zero credentials. This is not the package install for this server itself (use Install this server for that).

Install the mcpindex gate (one command)

Rewrites your MCP host config so each server launches behind the gate. Inspect first: curl -fsSL https://mcpindex.ai/install.sh | less

uv tool install mcpindex-gate && mcpindex-config-wire

Semantic screen found no manipulation pattern in the description. Conformance probe not yet run.

evidence“Tool provides GitLab MCP server actions.”via static_description

Limits of this verdict

- Semantic screen only - the deterministic conformance probe has not run on this server
- Confidence is reported but not yet calibrated (v1)
- Screen reads the tool description, not the live behavior
- advisory
- registry description only no input schema
- screen model 8b

Semantic screen: an LLM judge reads the tool description for hidden instructions (status PARTIAL). A pass means the description is not lying, not that the tool is safe: a high-capability tool with an honest description still warrants caution. The deterministic conformance probe has not been run on this server yet, so the screen here is semantic-only. Posture: advisory. Confidences are reported but not yet calibrated (calibrated=false at v1). Full verdict history is not shown on this page.

Own this server? Test a description on the public screen → It is a separate check from the verdict above, so the two can differ.

That verdict was true at screening time (snapshot 2026-10-30).

Contracts can change after screening, with no version bump. The gate pins GitLab MCP Server’s tool contracts on first sight and holds any silent change before your agent acts - the check that keeps being true on Tuesday.

People vet a server before wiring it in. One line on your project site or docs answers that with an independent record: screening verdict, registry provenance, contract drift history. It stays current as new screens and drift events land.

Provenance

Each verdict is bound to a hash of the exact description it judged, so a re-crawl that changes the text produces a new record rather than silently inheriting this one. Verdict history is hash-chained and anchored to Bitcoin via OpenTimestamps (latest confirmed at block 973,647). Verify it yourself.
