HainanZhao/mcp-gitlab-jira

Overview

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.
