Which GitLab actions are available through MCP?

The Agen GitLab MCP connector exposes 9 scoped actions including List projects, Get project, List issues, and Create issue. Each action is mapped to a specific GitLab OAuth scope so agents only get the permissions they need for the task.

How does Agen connect AI agents to GitLab?

Agen acts as the MCP gateway between your AI agents and GitLab. Agents authenticate to the gateway, the gateway authenticates to GitLab using scoped OAuth credentials, and every call is brokered through the gateway so it can apply policy and capture audit logs.

How is access to GitLab controlled and audited?

Access to the GitLab integration is governed by Agen policies. Admins can restrict which agents or users can call GitLab tools, scope permissions per action, and review a full audit log of every call. Learn more about access control and policies .

What are common use cases for the GitLab MCP integration?

AI agents use the GitLab connector to automate work in GitLab on behalf of users — common use cases include code review, deployment automation, and dev workflow orchestration. See more Development integrations in the Development category .

How do I get started with the Agen MCP gateway for GitLab?
