What it does
A TypeScript MCP server for GitLab merge request review. It is built from source with pnpm and runs locally over stdio, using a GitLab personal access token and the host of gitlab.com or a private instance. Tools read merge request details, changes and file contents, list merge requests, update a merge request's description, run a rule-based analysis of the changes with rules picked by file type and path, and post line-level review comments back to GitLab. The README gives a Cursor configuration, and further documentation, including a user guide in Chinese, sits in the docs folder.
Capabilities
- Read merge request details, changes and file contents
- List a project's merge requests
- Update a merge request's description
- Analyse merge request changes against file-type review rules
- Post line-level review comments to GitLab
