GitLab Automation via Rube MCP

Automate GitLab operations including project management, issue tracking, merge request workflows, CI/CD pipeline monitoring, branch management, and user administration through Composio's GitLab toolkit.

Prerequisites

• Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
• Active GitLab connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit gitlab
• Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Setup

Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
2. Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit gitlab
3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete GitLab OAuth
4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
