Connect your agents to your software lifecycle with the GitLab MCP server

Agents are working across your team’s software development lifecycle, but most still operate as separate tools, leaving the context, handoffs, and permissions for your team to stitch together. When your agents use APIs for these disparate tools, they often guess at endpoints and use up their context window on extra calls. The GitLab MCP server, now generally available with GitLab 19.5 , connects your team’s external agents to your entire software lifecycle — from planning through production.
