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. The endpoint alone does not authorize GitLab access. Authenticate the MCP client and connect the intended GitLab account through the returned supported authorization flow.

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
