What the skill teaches
A GitLab skill from Microsoft's hve-core repository that drives a bundled Python command-line script instead of an MCP server. It needs Python 3.11 or later and the URL of a GitLab instance, and signs in through OAuth with PKCE or a device flow, accepting a personal access token only in an explicit legacy mode. Its commands list, read, create, update and comment on merge requests, read their notes, look up pipelines and their jobs, start a pipeline for a branch or tag, and print job logs, on gitlab.com or a self-managed instance. Every request can also be recorded in a JSON Lines audit log.
Capabilities
- List, create and update merge requests
- Comment on merge requests and read their notes
- Trigger a pipeline for a branch or tag
- List pipeline jobs and print job logs
- Write an audit log of every GitLab request
