Frequently Asked Questions

What GitLab tiers support the MCP server?
The MCP server is available on GitLab Premium and Ultimate tiers. It uses GitLab Duo features that are not available on Free tier for self-managed instances.
Can agents create or update merge requests?
Yes, agents can create new MRs, add comments, apply labels, and request reviews. Write operations use the authenticated user's permissions.
Does it support monorepos with large diffs?
The server handles pagination for large diffs. For very large projects, consider filtering MR changes by file patterns to reduce context size.
