Use when the user wants to connect to GitLab — search or read issues / MRs / projects, create or update issues and MRs, inspect pipelines, or set up GitLab auth. The connector — not security tradecraft.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# GitLab Connector for GitLab (gitlab.com or self-managed) via the community `@zereight/mcp-gitlab` server. The agent sees the tool surface (89 tools read-only, 161 with writes) once it loads — this skill covers auth, the real read-only switch, and the idioms. Security triage methodology — dedup, severity, SLA, owner inference — is deliberately out of scope; pair this with whichever triage capability your workflow uses. ## Auth Two server options, and the tradeoff is surface vs. provenance — not tier. **Default: the community PAT server**, which is GA and exposes by far the broader surface. GitLab's own OAuth MCP (path B) is first-party and token-free but still beta and much narrower. It moved from Premium to **Free in GitLab 19.2**, so it's a real option on any tier when you'd rather not mint a PAT or take a dependency on a community package. ### A. Community server + PAT (default) 1. Generate a PAT: - gitlab.com: <https://gitlab.com/-/user_settings/personal_access_tokens> - self-managed: `<your-gitlab>/-/user_settings/personal_access_tokens` 2. Scopes: **read-only** `read_api` (+ `read_repository` for code, `read_registry` …

How to install
mdr add dreadnode/capabilities/gitlab@sha256:61324518f7ad2231The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.e04a3ae, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
