About HainanZhao/mcp-gitlab-jira

An MCP server that unifies GitLab and Jira, enabling AI agents to manage projects, merge requests, files, releases, and tickets. It uses the Model Context Protocol to connect large language models with both platforms, allowing automated cross-tool workflows. Built with TypeScript, it provides a single interface for common DevOps and project management tasks.

Best for

Developers and teams who already use both GitLab and Jira and want to automate workflows between them with AI.

Use cases

  • Automatically create Jira tickets from GitLab merge requests
  • Manage releases and version tracking across both platforms
  • Query and update tickets and merge requests via natural language

Notes

10 stars on GitHub. Last updated 2025-09-05. Licensed MIT.

Pros

  • Unified access to both GitLab and Jira reduces context switching
  • Enables AI-driven automation of routine cross-platform tasks
  • Open source and written in TypeScript, easy to extend or modify

Cons

  • Relies on the MCP protocol, which may require additional setup
  • Low community adoption (10 stars) suggests limited support or maturity
  • AI agents can introduce unpredictable behavior or require careful prompt engineering
