LABSCO SUMMARY
Five tools, deliberately: the board, not GitLab.
This does not try to be a general GitLab client. If your working question is "what is on the board and what should move", a small surface keeps the model on task and out of merge requests and pipelines. Self-hosted instances are a config value, not a fork.
What it is
A small TypeScript server over the GitLab API, scoped to Kanban board operations on a project rather than the whole GitLab surface.
What you get
- The task list retrieved from a project's Kanban board —
list_tasks - A new task created on the board —
create_task - An existing task updated —
update_task - A task removed from the board —
delete_task - A comment added to a task —
add_comment
Requirements
A GitLab token in GITLAB_TOKEN and the instance URL in GITLAB_URL, which defaults to https://gitlab.com so self-hosted GitLab works too. Node dependencies installed and built; the client runs build/index.js. The package is gitlab-kanban-mcp-server 0.1.0, built on MCP SDK 0.6.0.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — npx -y github:Sunwood-ai-labs/gitlab-kanban-mcp-server, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Turning a conversation into tracked work
Create the tasks on the project board as they come up, so the decision and the ticket happen in the same place.
02
Running a stand-up from the board
List what is on the board, update the ones that moved, and leave a comment where something needs explaining.
03
Cleaning up a board that has drifted
List everything, then delete what is stale and update the rest, without switching to the GitLab UI.
5 tools
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
create_task
カンバンボードに新しいタスクを作成
delete_task
カンバンボードのタスクを削除
list_tasks
プロジェクトのカンバンボードのタスク一覧を取得
update_task
