Install gitlab-mcp-server

The server’s own address, for the clients that take one directly. Or connect Ahel once and every client you use reads it from one address, with the account kept on Ahel rather than in each client’s config.

  • Claude Code

    claude mcp add --transport http --scope user gitlab-mcp-server 'https://mcp.jmrp.io/gitlab'

    Run it once in your project, then open /mcp to approve any sign-in the server asks for.

  • Claude Desktop

    https://mcp.jmrp.io/gitlab

    Add a custom connector in Settings, paste this address, and approve the sign-in.

  • Cursor

    cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=gitlab-mcp-server&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5qbXJwLmlvL2dpdGxhYiJ9

    Open the link and Cursor adds the server at that address.

  • ChatGPT

    https://mcp.jmrp.io/gitlab

    In Settings, enable Developer mode, create an MCP app, and paste this address. Your plan and workspace must allow custom apps.

  • Codex

    codex mcp add gitlab-mcp-server --url 'https://mcp.jmrp.io/gitlab'

    Run it once, then sign in with codex mcp login gitlab-mcp-server if the server asks for an account.
