It is made by @jmrplens and listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.jmrplens/gitlab-mcp-server. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI apps like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor use outside tools.

How do I add GitLab to Claude?

In the Claude app or claude.ai, open Settings, then Connectors, choose "Add custom connector" and paste https://mcp.jmrp.io/gitlab. In Claude Code, run: claude mcp add --transport http gitlab-mcp-server https://mcp.jmrp.io/gitlab

How do I add GitLab to ChatGPT?

ChatGPT can use remote MCP servers as connectors. In ChatGPT settings, under Apps and Connectors, turn on developer mode if asked, create a new connector and paste https://mcp.jmrp.io/gitlab.

How do I add GitLab to Cursor?

Open Cursor settings, go to MCP, choose "Add new MCP server" (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json) and add: { "mcpServers": { "gitlab-mcp-server": { "url": "https://mcp.jmrp.io/gitlab" } } }
