NAME
     glab-mcp-serve - Start a MCP server with stdio transport. (EXPERIMENTAL)

SYNOPSIS
     glab mcp serve [flags]

DESCRIPTION
     Start  a  Model  Context Protocol server to expose GitLab features as tools
     for AI assistants like Claude Code.

     The server uses stdio (standard input and output) transport for  communica-
     tion, and provides tools to:

     * Manage issues (list, create, update, close, add notes)

     * Manage merge requests (list, create, update, merge, add notes)

     * Manage projects (list, get details)

     * Manage CI/CD pipelines and jobs

     To  configure  this  server  in Claude Code, add this code to your MCP set-
     tings:

     {
       "mcpServers": {
	 "glab": {
	   "type": "stdio",
	   "command": "glab",
	   "args": ["mcp", "serve"]
	 }
       }
     }

     This feature is an experiment and is not  ready  for  production  use.   It
     might  be	unstable  or  removed  at  any	time.  For more information, see
     https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/.
