gl-cli

zereight-mcp-gitlab (alias mcp-gitlab) is both the MCP server and a GitLab CLI. Run it with a command and it prints the result and exits. No MCP client is involved.

Full guide: docs/getting-started/cli-without-mcp.md.

1. Check credentials first

Run this before anything else and read the result:

zereight-mcp-gitlab user whoami

• Prints a user: credentials work, go to step 3.
• Missing GitLab credentials (exit 2): go to step 2.
• 401: token expired or under-scoped, redo step 2.
• command not found: npm install -g @zereight/mcp-gitlab.
