The MCP GitLab Review Server is a GitLab extension that improves the merge request review workflow. It lets users post review comments and fetch detailed information about merge requests.
To start using it, configure your GitLab personal access token and API URL as environment variables. After setup, you can call its API endpoints to interact with merge requests directly.
Key features include fetching general merge request details, retrieving the latest version of a specific merge request, and posting structured review comments on merge requests.
This tool supports collaborative code reviews within GitLab projects, automates fetching updates for merge requests, and streamlines the process of giving code feedback through comments.
A valid setup requires setting the GITLAB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN and GITLAB_API_URL environment variables. It works with any GitLab project where you have the proper permissions and access token. The API can be used with any programming language capable of making HTTP requests, such as JavaScript, Python, or Ruby.
