Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 16 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of GitLab, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with GitLab. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions GitLab owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I get a Personal Access Token (PAT) for GitLab?

    Log in to GitLab, go to User Settings > Access Tokens, and you can generate a new token with the 'api' scope there.

  • 02

    Does this support self-hosted GitLab instances?

    Yes! Simply provide your instance's root URL (e.g., https://gitlab.my-company.com) in the 'GitLab Base URL' credential field.

  • 03

    What is a 'Project ID' in GitLab?

    A Project ID is a unique numerical identifier for your project. You can also use the URL-encoded path (e.g., 'group%2Fproject') in most capabilities.

  • 04

    Can I see pipeline failures via the agent?

    Yes! Use the 'list_project_pipelines' capability to retrieve the status of all recent pipelines, allowing you to quickly identify failed builds.
