What it does
A GitLab plugin for OpenTabs, a local MCP server paired with a Chrome extension that calls GitLab's web APIs through the browser session you are already signed in to, so no access token or OAuth application is needed. After logging in to gitlab.com in Chrome and installing the plugin with the OpenTabs CLI, an MCP client gets 22 tools covering projects, issues, merge requests, comments, branches, commits, pipelines and job logs. The write tools create and update issues and merge requests, merge a merge request and add comments. OpenTabs itself needs Node.js 22 or newer and Chrome, and each tool stays off until you enable it.
Capabilities
- List and read GitLab projects, issues and merge requests
- Create and update issues and merge requests
- Merge a merge request
- Comment on issues and merge requests
- Read pipeline jobs and job logs
Install
- Run this to add it to Any client:
opentabs plugin install gitlab
