Summary

Per-account and per-chat settings for the server, with a native settings page for clients that render structured settings and an MCP App panel for clients that support app panels.

Settings model

  • Three layers: the operator configuration (environment and startup presets) stays the floor; account settings (preset, read-only, default project or group, tool groups) apply to every chat of a GitLab account; chat overrides from manage_context apply to the current chat only. Settings only narrow what the operator allows.
  • The caller is derived from the authenticated context: the GitLab user for OAuth, the token's instance for a static token; the chat is the MCP session.
  • Restrictions apply to the tool list and to every call, including direct calls a client never offered: a refused call returns a clear reason and nothing reaches GitLab. Numeric project and group ids are checked like their paths, and so are destinations (target_project_id, target_group_id, a fork's namespace_path, namespace_id). A scope of projects reaches no group, so group-targeted calls are refused under it.
  • A scope path must be confirmed by GitLab: update_settings and manage_context set_scope refuse a typo or an unreachable GitLab instead of saving a guessed project or group.
  • manage_todos mark_all_done in a scoped chat marks only the scope's pending todos done, a few at a time, and reports how many were marked and which failed; the others stay pending.
  • A project created without a namespace goes into the scope's single group; with no single group, and for a group without a parent, the call is refused.
  • The working scope is a focus, not an access boundary: the user sets and clears it, and objects addressed only by a global id (a work item or todo id) are not resolved against it. A project or group access token is the hard boundary GitLab enforces.
  • A listing or search that names no project or group reads the working scope: a global search becomes a search of the scope's group or project, a project listing lists the scope's group, and a cross-project merge request listing lists the scope's project. Project listings and searches (including projects only shared with the scope group), todos and cross-project merge requests are filtered to the scope. A global search is refused under a scope of several projects or groups, and under a group scope without subgroups (GitLab group search always covers them).
  • A saved preset that was later removed makes the caller read-only (reported by check_connection) instead of failing every call.

Instance routing

  • Every REST call takes its GitLab base URL from one place: the OAuth token's instance, else the instance the server's own token works with now (it follows switch_instance), else GITLAB_API_URL. Tools that built URLs from the startup GITLAB_API_URL (core, files, pipelines, iterations, namespace detection, user search, the generic client used by scope search) now reach the caller's instance; whoami reports and links it the same way.

Storage

  • With a durable session storage (OAUTH_STORAGE_TYPE file, or PostgreSQL with a new oauth_account_settings table and migration), account settings live with the sessions, shared by replicas.
  • With sessions in memory (the OAuth default) or a local static-token server, they live in ~/.config/gitlab-mcp/settings.json of the user running the server, so saved settings survive a restart. A database package older than the server, which cannot keep settings, falls back to that file with a warning instead of failing calls.
  • A scope change that does not name the subgroup choice keeps the one saved at write time, so concurrent edits from two chats are both kept.
  • Writes are compare-and-set; concurrent edits of different settings, including different tool groups, are both kept. The local file syncs its directory after each write; a failed first open of the shared storage is retried by the next request.

Tools and capabilities

  • get_settings / update_settings: the account settings page, advertised through the openai/settings capability. A patch is validated in full before anything is saved; administrator read-only mode cannot be turned off.
  • check_connection: account, GitLab version and tier, restrictions in effect, the number of tools the caller can use (counted as tools/list shows them, including the OAuth token's scopes), and what to do about problems.
  • open_settings_panel: MCP App (ui:// resource, text/html;profile=mcp-app, empty CSP) to search projects and groups, apply a scope to this chat or save it for new chats, and check the connection. Follows the host theme, keyboard accessible, shows GitLab strings as text only, reports success from the settings the server holds after saving. Its preview shows the tool groups off in the chat, including those its preset turns off (manage_context show reports them).
  • find_scope_targets: member projects and visible groups by name, for choosing a scope (needs an api or read_api token scope).
  • manage_context clear_scope: the chat works everywhere, also without the account's default scope; its preset and read-only mode stay. The panel's "Work everywhere in this chat" uses it.
  • The channel gateway forwards resources, so the panel opens through it as well. After a lost link it replays a call when the newest downstream catalog marks the tool read-only, falling back to the tool name for a tool not yet listed or without the annotation. It forwards the downstream tools/list_changed notification and advertises listChanged, so a host refreshes its catalog after a settings change.
  • Settings tools are exempt from settings restrictions and from the unreachable-instance check, so a restricted caller can still fix its settings.
  • The mcp.tools catalog in package.json is regenerated by the release PR (prepare-release.sh), as for every tool; this PR does not edit it.

Behaviour change

manage_context switch_preset, set_scope and reset now affect the current chat only (they used to change the whole server process); reset returns the chat to the account settings. With a static token, switch_instance keeps every chat's read-only mode and preset and clears its scope.

Known limitation

An account change sends tools/list_changed only to chats served by the replica that saved it. Chats on other replicas apply the new settings from their next request; their clients refresh the tool list on their next list request.

Integration test maintenance

  • Integration runs wait up to 60 s per test; the API timeouts come from .env.test.
  • closing_issues test accepts GitLab's own issue link in both forms (/-/issues/N before 19.0, /-/work_items/N from 19.0).
  • removeLabelIds test sets a known label first instead of relying on earlier tests that skip without enough lifecycle labels.
  • The lifecycle project step reports GitLab's answer when creation fails.
  • The set_scope project test scopes to a project that exists under the test group.

Testing

  • Unit: 6043/6043 (yarn test), lint and build. Tests read and write settings in a temporary file, never the user's own settings file.
  • Database package: 68/68; the migration applied from scratch on PostgreSQL 17, no drift against the Prisma schema, compare-and-set verified live including concurrent writes and a second replica.
  • Integration against GitLab 19.0 EE: 447/447 (yarn test:integration).
  • Instance routing: each tool family's request URL checked against an OAuth caller on another instance; base URL selection checked for OAuth, switch_instance and the configured fallback.
  • Settings panel exercised in jsdom against a simulated MCP Apps host (handshake, theme, untrusted strings, save and cancel, expired sign-in, unreachable GitLab).
  • Multi-replica test: two users and two chats stay apart, settings survive a restart, concurrent edits from two replicas are kept.
  • Not verified: rendering of the settings page and the panel inside desktop clients.

Closes #637

- A configuration service resolves the caller from the authenticated
  request (the GitLab account in OAuth mode, the configured token
  otherwise) and combines the account's durable settings with the
  current session's overrides: preset, read-only mode, switched-off
  tool groups and working scope. They only narrow what the operator's
  configuration already allows.
- Account settings are stored with the sessions (memory, file,
  PostgreSQL with a new additive migration) or, on a local server, in
  ~/.config/gitlab-mcp/settings.json; every write is compare-and-set,
  so concurrent or stale edits never overwrite each other silently.
- tools/list hides what the caller's settings exclude and tools/call
  refuses it before anything reaches GitLab, including direct calls.
  A call is refused while the settings cannot be read.
- manage_context acts on the calling session only: switch_preset and
  set_scope now take effect in tool execution instead of changing a
  process-wide state that nothing enforced, and they no longer leak to
  other users and chats. Only the affected sessions are notified.
- get_settings and update_settings serve the account settings as a
  structured settings page (openai/settings capability): preset,
  read-only, default project or group, and tool groups the server
  offers. A patch is validated in full before anything is saved, and
  read-only set by the administrator cannot be turned off.
- check_connection reports the account, GitLab version and tier, the
  restrictions in effect, a saved preset that no longer exists, and
  what to do about problems.
- open_settings_panel opens an MCP App (ui:// resource with an empty
  CSP) to search projects and groups, apply a scope to this chat or
  save it for new chats, and check the connection. The panel follows
  the host theme, is keyboard accessible, shows GitLab strings as text
  only, and reports success from the settings the server holds.
- find_scope_targets finds member projects and visible groups by name.
- Settings tools are exempt from settings restrictions and from the
  unreachable-instance check, so a restricted caller can still fix
  its settings.
- Document the settings layers, storage and clients.
Replicas with their own module graphs and one storage backend: account
settings saved on one apply on the others and survive a restart, chat
overrides and other accounts stay apart, and concurrent edits of
different settings from two replicas are both kept.
switch_preset now changes only the current session, and reset returns
the session to the account settings; the integration test asserts the
exact messages of that behaviour.
Integration tests wait up to 60 s per test and 20 s for GitLab to start
answering a request (unless .env.test sets its own API timeout). The
duplicate per-run timeout in the integration setup is dropped; the Jest
config is the one place it is set.
The API timeouts of an integration run belong to the test instance's
environment file like the rest of its settings; the setup no longer
hardcodes a default.
- closing_issues: accept GitLab's own issue link in both forms,
  /-/issues/N before 19.0 and /-/work_items/N from 19.0.
- removeLabelIds: set a known label first instead of relying on labels
  left by earlier tests, which skip when the lifecycle data has fewer
  than two labels; assert the removed label is gone and nothing else.
Every later lifecycle step depends on this project; a bare ok=false hid
why GitLab refused it.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @packages/gitlab-mcp/src/configuration/index.ts:
- Around line 22-35: Update storeOfDeployment so a rejected initialization
clears the memoized settingsStore promise before rethrowing the error. Preserve
successful promise memoization so later calls can retry after a transient
SessionStore.initialize failure.

Review comments at @packages/gitlab-mcp/src/configuration/settings-store.ts:
- Around line 90-101: Update `SettingsStore.write` to sync the parent directory
after renaming the temporary settings file into place, following the
`syncDirectory` behavior used by `FileStorageBackend.writeState`. Preserve the
existing platform-specific handling for directory syncing and ensure the
directory handle is closed after syncing.

Review comments at @packages/gitlab-mcp/src/entities/context/context-manager.ts:
- Around line 285-286: Update the instance-switch flow to preserve session
overrides across caller-key changes: capture the current session overrides
before `connectionManager.reinitialize`, resolve a caller for the new instance
afterward, omit `scope` when applying the remaining overrides, and reset the old
caller’s session key. Anchor the change in the method containing
`connectionManager.reinitialize` and the current `updateSession` call.

Review comments at @packages/gitlab-mcp/src/entities/context/settings-panel.ts:
- Around line 375-387: Update the workEverywhere handler to clear only the
current session’s scope through a scope-only manage_context action, and remove
the update_settings call so the account default remains unchanged. Preserve the
existing reload and status-announcement flow.

Review comments at @packages/gitlab-mcp/src/entities/context/settings.ts:
- Around line 255-266: Update updateSettings to place tool-group toggles and
scope sub-field changes in the patch as deltas instead of deriving values from
stale saved settings or page.values. In ConfigurationService.updateAccount,
apply those deltas to current?.settings inside each version-conflict retry so
concurrent edits to different settings are preserved.

Review comments at
@packages/gitlab-mcp/tests/integration/schemas/workitems.test.ts:
- Around line 731-733: Replace the `any` annotations in `labelIdsOf` with a type
describing the item’s optional widgets, label-widget data, and label IDs; use
that type for the parameter and let the nested callbacks infer their types.

- A listing or search that names no project or group reads the working
  scope: a global search becomes a search of the scope's group or
  project, a project listing lists the scope's group, a cross-project
  merge request listing lists the scope's project, and project search,
  todos and merge requests under a group scope are filtered to it. A
  global search under a scope of several projects or groups is refused.
- manage_context clear_scope lets a chat work everywhere, also without
  the account's default scope; its preset and read-only mode stay. The
  panel's "Work everywhere in this chat" uses it instead of resetting
  every override and clearing the default for new chats.
- A numeric project_id or group_id is checked against the scope like
  its string form; it passed unchecked before.
- switch_instance moves every chat's overrides of a static token to the
  new instance's account, without the scope; read-only mode and presets
  set for a chat no longer disappear on the switch.
- Tool-group toggles and the subgroup choice are applied to the settings
  saved at write time, so concurrent edits of other groups or of the
  scope are kept.
- A failed first open of the shared settings storage is retried by the
  next request instead of failing every call until restart.
- The local settings file syncs its directory after the rename.
- check_connection counts the tools the caller's settings allow.
- find_scope_targets requires an API-capable token scope.
- The channel gateway forwards resources, so the settings panel opens
  through it.

Regression tests cover each fix.

- REST calls take their GitLab base URL from one place: the OAuth
  token's instance, else the instance the server's own token works
  with now (it follows switch_instance), else GITLAB_API_URL. Tools
  that built URLs from the startup GITLAB_API_URL sent an OAuth
  caller's request to the wrong instance.
- whoami reports and links the caller's instance the same way.
- Project listings are always filtered by the working scope: a
  group's listing also returns projects only shared with the group.
- A global search under a group scope without subgroups is refused:
  GitLab group search always covers subgroups.
- The channel gateway replays a call after a lost link when the
  downstream catalog marks the tool read-only, not only by its name.
- Smaller fixes: locale-aware sort of disabled tool groups, raw panel
  script, node: builtin imports, merged duplicate imports, and
  settings and call handling split into smaller helpers.

Regression tests: instance-routing, gitlab-base-url, scope-targets
(shared projects, subgroup search) and gateway (read-only replay).

- Around line 67-68: Update the catalog-read tracking in the gateway so each
tool on a returned page is added to `catalogReads` when its `readOnlyHint` is
true and removed otherwise; preserve entries for tools absent from that page.
Ensure concurrent catalog updates cannot apply out of generation order and
reintroduce stale read classifications.

- A scope of projects reaches no group: group-targeted calls (for
  example deleting an unrelated group) were allowed because a scope
  without group entries counted as unrestricted for groups.
- check_connection counts tools the way tools/list shows them, also
  leaving out tools the OAuth token's scopes do not allow.
- The channel gateway keeps the newest catalog verdict per tool: a
  later catalog that drops readOnlyHint stops replays, and an older
  catalog answer arriving last cannot restore a stale verdict.
- The channel gateway forwards the downstream tools/list_changed
  notification and advertises listChanged, so a host refreshes its
  catalog after a settings change.
- The settings guide describes the group rule and the refused global
  searches.

Regression tests: scope-enforcer (project-only scopes), connection
check (OAuth token scopes) and gateway (stale verdict, out-of-order
catalog answers, list_changed forwarding).

- manage_todos mark_all_done in a scoped chat marks only the scope's
  pending todos done, one by one over every page, instead of clearing
  the whole queue.
- Destination identifiers are checked against the scope like the
  primary target: target_project_id, target_group_id, namespace_path
  (fork target) and namespace_id.
- update_settings and manage_context set_scope accept only a project
  or group GitLab confirms; a typo or an unreachable GitLab is refused
  instead of being saved as a guessed type.
- Account settings use the session storage only when it is durable
  (file or PostgreSQL); with sessions in memory, the OAuth default,
  they go to the settings file so they survive a restart.
- Tests read and write settings in a temporary file, never the user's
  own settings file; the replicas test models the shared database
  with a durable backend.
- The settings guide describes the storage choice and scoped todos.

Regression tests: scoped mark_all_done, destination identifiers,
unconfirmed scope paths, storage choice with memory sessions, and the
test settings isolation.

- Scoped mark_all_done marks todos a few at a time and reports how
  many were marked and which failed, instead of starting every request
  at once and losing the partial effect on the first error.
- A scope change that does not name the subgroup choice keeps the one
  saved at write time, so it no longer overwrites a concurrent change
  of that choice from another chat.
- manage_context show reports the tool groups off for the chat, by the
  account and by its preset; the settings panel shows those.
- Account settings stay with the session storage only when its backend
  can keep them; a database package older than the server falls back
  to the settings file with a warning instead of failing every call.
- Under a working scope, a project created without a namespace goes
  into the scope's single group; otherwise the call is refused, as is
  a group without a parent.
- The working scope is documented as a focus, not an access boundary:
  objects addressed only by a global id are not resolved first, and a
  project or group access token is the hard boundary.
- Settings test setup imports node builtins with the node: prefix.

Regression tests: bounded and partial todo marking, the concurrent
subgroup choice, preset-disabled groups in the context and the panel,
the storage fallback for an old database package, and targetless
project and group creation under a scope.
