Description

This server exposes a large set of tools for programmatic access to GitLab and Jira via the MCP protocol, enabling listing and manipulating projects, merge requests, branches, pipelines, files, issues, and Jira tickets and project metadata. It is packaged as an npm CLI and a Docker image for easy integration with MCP clients like gemini-cli. The server includes conveniences like fetching MR diffs, triggering pipelines, adding comments, fuzzy-matching Jira custom fields (priority/sprint), and flattening Jira fields for easier consumption by agents. It's intended to let AI agents perform common repo and issue-management workflows automatically.
