GitLab MCP server

By the Flori team · Published 2026-10-29 · Updated 2026-10-29

Short answer: Yes. GitLab has an official MCP server: com.gitlab/mcp, published in the official MCP Registry under the verified gitlab.com domain and hosted at https://gitlab.com/api/v4/mcp.

This page covers the official server for GitLab and the community alternatives, the listed connection options, and what to check before using Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. Registry entries checked in October 2026.

What can you do with the GitLab MCP server?

GitLab's official server is hosted at gitlab.com/api/v4/mcp and lets an assistant work with projects, issues, merge requests and pipelines using your GitLab access.

• Summarize a merge request and draft review notes.
• Open issues from a bug list with labels and milestones.
• Explain a failed pipeline job and suggest the fix.

Is there an official GitLab MCP server?

Yes. The MCP Registry only lets a publisher use a namespace it has proved it controls, through the vendor's domain or its GitHub organisation. This entry is published under GitLab's own namespace: com.gitlab/mcp. 8 community servers are listed too.

What should you check before connecting GitLab?

• Which groups and projects your account can reach; the assistant can reach the same.
• Self-managed GitLab instances use their own address rather than gitlab.com.

How do I connect the GitLab MCP server to Claude?

The registry lists a hosted endpoint at https://gitlab.com/api/v4/mcp. Check the publisher's authentication and client requirements, then add the endpoint as a custom connector in Claude and complete any sign-in it requires.

In Claude Code, run:

claude mcp add --transport http gitlab https://gitlab.com/api/v4/mcp

Does the GitLab MCP server work with ChatGPT?

A hosted endpoint is available at https://gitlab.com/api/v4/mcp. ChatGPT needs a compatible remote transport and authentication flow, and your account or workspace must allow custom MCP connections. Confirm those requirements with the publisher before connecting.

How do I add it to Cursor?

Start with this remote endpoint in .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project. Add any authentication fields required by the publisher:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitlab": {
      "url": "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Keep what your assistant does in one place

Development stays in GitLab while the client-facing plan, approvals and next steps for the project live in Flori. Flori's MCP server gives every assistant one shared CRM and project record.
