Connects Gemini CLI to the GitLab-hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server (https://gitlab.com/api/v4/mcp). Exposes tools for issues, MRs, pipelines, and search without a local Ruby runtime.

gemini extensions install https://github.com/GitLab-Ecosystem/Gemini-CLI-Extensions
# or for local development: gemini extensions link .

Restart Gemini CLI after installing/linking.

• GitLab SaaS account with mcp_server and oauth_dynamic_client_generation flags enabled.
• Gemini CLI v0.8.0+.
• Node.js 20+ (for npx).

First run requires browser authorization for the "MCP CLI Proxy" app.

Maps custom commands to MCP tools (defined in commands/*.toml):

• /gitlab:issue <project> <iid>
• /gitlab:create-issue <project> | <title> | [desc]
• /gitlab:mr <project> <iid>
• /gitlab:mr-changes, /gitlab:mr-commits, /gitlab:mr-pipelines
• /gitlab:pipeline-jobs <project> <id>
• /gitlab:search <scope> <query>
• /gitlab:server-version

• Manifest: gemini-extension.json (defines npx mcp-remote).
• Commands: commands/*.toml.
• Build: npm install && npm run build (required for standard structure compliance).
• Test: npm test.

This repo follows the Gemini CLI extension releasing guidelines. The gemini-extension.json manifest lives at the repository root so users can install directly with gemini extensions install benvenker/gitlab-gemini-extension or by referencing specific branches/tags using --ref.
