# GitLab Automation via Rube MCP
Automate GitLab operations including project management, issue tracking, merge request workflows, CI/CD pipeline monitoring, branch management, and user administration through Composio's GitLab toolkit.
## Prerequisites
- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
- Active GitLab connection via `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `gitlab`
- Always call `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` first to get current tool schemas
## Setup
**Get Rube MCP**: Add `https://rube.app/mcp` as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.
1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` responds
2. Call `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `gitlab`
3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete GitLab OAuth
4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
## Core Workflows
### 1. Manage Issues
**When to use**: User wants to create, update, list, or search issues in a GitLab project

1. `GITLAB_GET_PROJECTS` - Find the target project and get its ID [Prerequisite]
2. `GITLAB_LIST_PROJECT_ISSUES` - List and filter issues for a project [Required]
3. `GITLAB_CREATE_PROJECT_ISSUE` - Create a new issue [Required for create]
4. `GITLAB_UPDATE_PROJECT_ISSUE` - Update an existing issue (title, labels, state, assignees) [Required for update]
