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.

Replaces #660 (same change, squashed into one commit on the current main).

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 (actions the preset denies leave the listed schema, and a tool with none left is not listed) and to every call, including direct calls a client never offered: a refused call returns a clear reason and does not execute the requested operation. Tool, group, read-only and action limits are checked first; only a call they allow has a project or group named by numeric id read from GitLab and checked as its path (an id GitLab does not know is refused; any other lookup failure, such as an expired sign-in, fails the call with GitLab's error and its reauthorization challenge), URL-encoded paths are compared decoded, and destinations are checked too (target_project_id, target_group_id, namespace_id, a new subgroup's parent_id, and the namespace a project is created or forked into, as the group it goes into). A scope of projects reaches no group, so group-targeted calls are refused under it. get_profile, the host's account identity, is never hidden by settings.
  • Numeric scope IDs are saved as the canonical path returned by the same GitLab lookup, so later path checks and scoped listings use the confirmed identity.
  • 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; an expired sign-in (401, or 403 insufficient_scope) fails with GitLab's error and the reauthorization challenge.
  • An action the operator (GITLAB_DENIED_ACTIONS) or the preset denied stays denied under a working scope, also where the scope runs other actions in its place, and a call the scope rewrites, filters or answers by other requests is parsed by the tool's schema first, so it is validated and coerced exactly like an unscoped call. Unknown arguments are stripped by the selected action schema before target checks; another action’s arguments cannot incorrectly reject a valid call.
  • 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. One call reads at most 1000 pending todos and marks at most 100; when more remain it is marked partial, and a repeated call continues.
  • A project created or forked 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. A fork naming both namespace and namespace_path has each checked.
  • 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, and browse_users stays the instance's user directory, to find people not yet in the scope (a global search of users finds its members). 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 (keeping a caller's include_subgroups: false, and the active-projects default of a plain listing unless active or archived is given; or, for a plain listing under a scope made of projects, those projects themselves, archived ones left out), a global project search under a project scope answers with the active scope projects whose name, path or description match, ordered as GitLab orders it (newest created first unless sort/order_by name another order) before pagination (at most 1000 projects; missing ordering data or an incomplete scan is reported as partial; project search has no projects scope), a global search of groups answers with the scope's groups that match, read from the namespace listing and ordered by creation as the search orders them (updated_at ordering is marked partial; project search has no groups scope and group search none before GitLab 19.4; refused under a scope of projects), a snippet title search (instance-wide only) answers with the scope's project snippets that GitLab's search matches (title, description or file name, as Snippet.search matches them), newest updated first, a listing of public or personal snippets (which belong to no project) and of personal access tokens (which belong to an account) are refused, and a cross-project merge request or vulnerability listing names the scope's target. A preset scope of one project or group, named alone, as a list of one or as a namespace (which covers its subgroups), is that single target. Project listings and searches (including projects only shared with the scope group), todos, cross-project merge requests and namespace listings are filtered to the scope (a namespace listing is refused under a scope of projects, which reaches no group), reading further GitLab pages until the requested page is full (at most ten pages of 100; a page still short then comes back marked partial with a hint to narrow the listing, and a page starting past those rows answers so without a request). Instance-wide listings read the scope instead: deploy keys (with public omitted or false, GitLab's default) the deduplicated keys of the scope's projects, named or in its groups (at most ten project-enumeration pages and ten total key requests, with incomplete results marked partial), instance audit events the trail of the scope project, or under a group or several targets the trails of the scope's projects and groups merged newest first (GitLab keeps a group's trail to its own events, so a group is read with its projects' trails and those of the subgroups on the way to them; a scope including subgroups is marked partial, as a subgroup holding no project is not found that way), project snippets that name no project the scope project's, or under a group or several targets those of the scope's projects merged newest first, all runners those available to the scope's project or group, the caller's own runners the owned feed (with its cursor) kept to those the scope can use (marked partial past 1000 such runners); scopes with no such form are refused. The projects of a scope made of projects are listed in GitLab's simple representation unless simple is false, read a few at a time and ordered before the page is cut. The caller's own activity (browse_events user) shows the scope project's events under a single project scope; under groups or several targets it filters the user feed by the events' resolved project paths, with at most ten feed pages and 100 distinct project lookups, reporting a partial result when either bound prevents completing the page. A namespace argument (labels, wiki, milestones) passes when it names an allowed project or an allowed group, so the scope group itself works also without its subgroups. Under a group scope without subgroups (GitLab's group results always cover them), a search and a vulnerability listing, global or naming the group itself, read the group's results kept to the group and its direct projects, in the tools' own answer shapes (vulnerabilities now carry their project's path); a user search stays as GitLab gives it, and a search of a group with more than 1000 direct projects comes back marked partial. Under a scope of several projects or groups, a vulnerability listing merges the targets' listings, deduplicated and in the requested order, with a cursor bound to the scope and filters; the all-runners and owned-runners listings keep their own feed and cursor, limited to runners available to one of the targets. Each of these, and the composed audit trails and project snippets, shares ten requests across the scope and marks a result past that bound partial. Under any scope, an audit listing filtered by entity follows GitLab's audit finder: Project or Group keeps the scope's trails of that kind, entity_id reads that one in-scope trail, and user or instance events answer an empty page. A global search there searches each target and merges the results without repeats within the same ten requests (groups without their subgroups list their direct projects within eleven more, shared by all of them), in GitLab's order for issues, merge requests and milestones and in target order (marked partial) for the other kinds; a search of projects there is refused unless the scope is made of projects.
  • A preset's allowed_tools overrides its denied_tools_regex, as documented for profiles; list-tools counts preset tools the same way.
  • A saved preset that was later removed makes the caller read-only (reported by check_connection) instead of failing every call.

Runner project restrictions

  • GITLAB_ALLOWED_PROJECT_IDS is enforced independently of the working scope in both runner handlers. Project listing and registration validate the resolved project ID or configured full path.
  • Lists filter out runners outside the allowlist while preserving upstream cursors. Operations addressed by runner ID verify all associated projects before reading, updating, pausing/resuming, deleting or rotating a token. GitLab's total project count must match the complete visible association page; hidden or truncated associations fail closed.
  • Group/instance runners cannot be confined to a project allowlist. Their registration and ID-based operations are refused under that restriction. A runner's jobs, for any runner type, are kept to the jobs of allowed projects, and internal project authorization fields are omitted from the response.
  • Ownership checks use GitLab 16.0 fields and at most 100 associated projects per runner. A GraphQL runner listing reads them in the same request; the pre-18.3 REST owned-runners page checks its runners ten per query. With no allowlist, the listing asks for no ownership fields and makes no additional requests.

Instance routing

  • Every REST call takes its GitLab base URL from one place: the OAuth token's instance, else the instance the running tool call started with (a switch_instance from another chat does not move a call already running), 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, and get_profile reads the account of that instance.

Storage

  • With PostgreSQL session storage (new oauth_account_settings table and migration), account settings live with the sessions in the database. File session storage keeps them in its file.
  • With sessions in memory (the OAuth default) or a local static-token server, they live in ~/.config/gitlab-mcp/settings/ 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 directory with a warning instead of failing calls.
  • A scope change that does not name the subgroup choice keeps the one saved at write time for a group scope (subgroups included after a project scope or none), 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 directory needs no lock: each write saves the next numbered generation with an exclusive link and, when another process saved it first, re-reads and checks its version again, so a process that dies or is suspended mid-write never blocks the others or overwrites newer settings. As pruning frees old numbers, a write counts only when the newest state holds it after the link, so a writer resuming after several newer writes is refused instead of reported as saved. Older generations and temporary files of crashed writers are pruned, the directory is synced after each write (the link is the commit, so a failed sync is logged rather than reported as a failed write), and entries of the wrong shape are skipped; 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; the server and the channel gateway declare the io.modelcontextprotocol/ui extension) 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), and a superseded search finishing late cannot change it. In OAuth mode listing and reading resources needs mcp:resources (refused with an insufficient_scope challenge otherwise), and the panel tool declares both mcp:tools and mcp:resources.
  • 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; a complete catalog that drops a tool drops its verdict. It forwards the downstream tools/list_changed notification and advertises listChanged, so a host refreshes its catalog after a settings change; it also tells the host to list again after it reconnects downstream.
  • Settings tools are exempt from settings restrictions and from the unreachable-instance check, so a restricted caller can still fix its settings; the OAuth token's scopes are checked for them as for any call. One answered while GitLab is marked unreachable has the health monitor probe GitLab again, so other tools recover as soon as GitLab answers.
  • 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, clears its scope, and points every session at the new instance before telling it to refresh its tool list.

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 and integration suites (yarn test:all, integration against GitLab 19.0 EE), lint and a compile of the build configuration pass. Tests read and write settings in a temporary directory, never the user's own settings.
  • Database package tests pass; the migration applies from scratch on PostgreSQL 17 with no drift against the Prisma schema, and compare-and-set holds under concurrent writes from two connections.
  • 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).
  • Shared-store test: two users and two chats stay apart, settings survive a restart, concurrent edits from two server processes over one store are kept.

Closes #637

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added account-level defaults and chat-level settings for presets, read-only access, tool groups, and project or group scopes.
    • Added a settings panel for managing scopes and checking connection health, plus tools for reading and updating settings and finding scope targets.
    • GitLab tools now enforce configured access restrictions, including scoped results and actions. Runner access also respects project allowlists.
    • Tool catalogs refresh when they change or reconnect, and GitLab requests follow the active instance, including after instance switches.
  • Documentation
    • Added settings guidance and clarified how settings and scopes behave when switching instances.

📝 Walkthrough

This pull request adds account-level settings and session overrides, persists account settings, and applies resolved policies to tool visibility and execution. It also adds settings and diagnostic interfaces, scoped GitLab operations, caller-aware instance routing, project-allowlisted runner access, and gateway support for resources and tool-list changes.

Changes: Caller settings and scoped access

Layer / File(s) Summary
Account settings and persistence
packages/gitlab-mcp/src/configuration/types.ts, packages/gitlab-mcp/src/configuration/settings-store.ts, packages/gitlab-mcp/src/oauth/storage/*, packages/gitlab-mcp-db/prisma/*
Account settings use validated records and version-checked writes in local, OAuth-backed, and PostgreSQL storage.
Caller identity and policy resolution
packages/gitlab-mcp/src/configuration/*, packages/gitlab-mcp/src/registry-manager.ts, packages/gitlab-mcp/src/handlers.ts
The configuration service resolves caller settings and session overrides into policies. Tool listings and calls use policy restrictions and registry metadata.
Scoped execution
packages/gitlab-mcp/src/configuration/scope-*, packages/gitlab-mcp/src/configuration/scoped-*, packages/gitlab-mcp/src/profiles/scope-enforcer.ts
Calls are narrowed, refused, filtered, or emulated for project and group scopes. Scoped reads use bounds and report partial results where applicable.
Settings tools and context panel
packages/gitlab-mcp/src/entities/context/*, packages/gitlab-mcp/src/handlers.ts, packages/gitlab-mcp/src/session-manager.ts
Settings, connection checks, scope search, context actions, and a settings panel are registered and connected to caller-specific configuration. Tests and documentation cover these interfaces.

Instance routing, runner restrictions, and gateway

Layer / File(s) Summary
Caller-aware GitLab routing
packages/gitlab-mcp/src/utils/*, packages/gitlab-mcp/src/entities/*/registry.ts, packages/gitlab-mcp/src/services/ConnectionManager.ts
A shared resolver selects and normalizes the GitLab base URL from OAuth, caller, active-instance, and configured sources. GitLab API callers use this resolver.
Project-scoped runner restrictions
packages/gitlab-mcp/src/entities/runners/*, packages/gitlab-mcp/src/graphql/runners.ts
Runner provenance is checked against the configured project allowlist. Runner listings and jobs are filtered, and selected operations are rejected when access cannot be established.
Gateway resources and tool catalog
packages/gitlab-mcp/src/channel-gateway/gateway.ts, packages/gitlab-mcp/src/session-manager.ts, packages/gitlab-mcp/src/oauth/tool-auth.ts
The gateway forwards resource operations and tool-list changes. Resource requests use OAuth scope checks, and catalog classifications inform reconnect replay.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5333c

Repeated configuration calls can increase reconnect attempts during an outage. A rare storage-sync failure can also leave account settings inconsistent after restart. These are bounded risks that warrant owner awareness before merging.

- Around line 82-85: Prevent stale writers in SettingsStore.put from reusing
generation numbers deleted by prune. Preserve pruned generation paths as
tombstones so save’s exclusive link continues to reject previously used numbers,
while ensuring newestGeneration and latest ignore tombstones when reading
settings.

Review comments at @packages/gitlab-mcp/src/entities/context/context-manager.ts:
- Around line 316-321: Move the `pinAllSessions(instanceUrl)` call in the
session migration flow before `moveSessions`; `moveSessions` notifies sessions
before returning, so they must already be pinned when clients refresh their tool
lists. Keep `resolveCaller` and the existing account-key arguments to
`moveSessions` intact.

Review comments at @packages/gitlab-mcp/src/handlers.ts:
- Line 355: Update the manual reconnect flow at the

at least the current reconnect backoff before starting another probe. Apply the
cooldown to attempts originating from both disconnected and failed states, while
preserving the existing scheduled reconnect behavior.

const result = await registryManager.executeTool(toolName, toolArguments, effectiveInstanceUrl);

P2 Badge Enforce OAuth scopes on disconnected fast-path calls

When the tracked instance is marked unreachable, this fast path executes configuration tools without passing the request's GitLab scopes to executeTool. A direct OAuth call to find_scope_targets with a token lacking api/read_api therefore bypasses the per-request check in RegistryManager.getTool, even though TokenScopeDetector.ts explicitly requires one of those scopes, and reaches the GitLab projects/groups endpoints instead of being refused as unavailable. Pass requestScopes through this fast path (including its availability lookup) just as the normal dispatch path does.

🟠 Major · Invalidate catalog retry policy when the downstream link closes. · gateway.ts:227-233

packages/gitlab-mcp/src/channel-gateway/gateway.ts:227-233
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Invalidate catalog retry policy when the downstream link closes.

handleDownstreamClose currently preserves catalogReads. The close can occur before the in-flight call rejects, and forwardWithPolicy evaluates policy.isRead(name) after that rejection. A stale readOnlyHint: true can therefore replay a replacement tool that is now mutating. Clearing the map alone is not sufficient because isRead falls back to isReadCall(name).

Suggested fix
   private readonly catalogReads = new Map<string, { read: boolean; generation: number }>();
   private catalogGeneration = 0;
+  private catalogReady = true;

...
     for (const [name, known] of this.catalogReads) {
       if (known.generation < generation) this.catalogReads.delete(name);
     }
+    this.catalogReady = true;
   }

   /** Whether a call is a read: the catalog's annotation, else the name for an unlisted tool. */
   private isRead(name: string): boolean {
+    if (!this.catalogReady) return false;
     return this.catalogReads.get(name)?.read ?? isReadCall(name);
   }

   private handleDownstreamClose(): void {
     this.connected = false;
+    this.catalogReady = false;
+    this.catalogReads.clear();

@coderabbitai Re: invalidating catalog retry policy on downstream close (gateway.ts) - won't fix. A replay is unsafe only if the first attempt may have had a side effect, and that is decided by the catalog of the link the call was sent on, which is exactly the verdict kept; the replay then runs once. The downstream derives readOnlyHint from the tool name alone (registry-manager getReadOnlyTools), so a replacement process of the same command classifies the tool identically. The suggested catalogReady=false would also stop every in-flight read from being replayed, since the SDK calls onclose before rejecting in-flight requests. The reasoning is now in the isRead doc comment.

@polaz Thanks for the clarification. I withdraw the recommendation to invalidate the catalog retry policy on downstream close.

I checked isRead and forwardWithPolicy. The retry decision uses the retained catalog verdict, and the replay runs once outside the retry handler. For the same downstream command, reconnecting does not change the tool’s read classification. Clearing catalog readiness on close would therefore block valid in-flight read retries, not improve replay safety.


✏️ Learnings added
Learnt from: polaz
URL: https://github.com/structured-world/gitlab-mcp/pull/661

Timestamp: 2026-10-13T13:09:20.345Z
Learning: In packages/gitlab-mcp/src/channel-gateway/gateway.ts, ChannelGateway.isRead intentionally retains catalog read classifications across downstream close. In packages/gitlab-mcp/src/channel-gateway/forwarding.ts, forwardWithPolicy checks the read classification after a sent call fails with DownstreamDisconnectedError, then replays once outside the retry handler. For the same downstream command, tool read classifications remain stable across replacement processes. The SDK calls onclose before rejecting in-flight requests, so invalidating catalog readiness on close would prevent valid in-flight read retries. Do not recommend catalog invalidation on close as a replay-safety fix for this flow.

…nnection panel

- Settings in three layers: the operator configuration stays the floor,
  account settings (preset, read-only, default project or group, tool
  groups) apply to every chat of a GitLab account, and manage_context
  overrides apply to the current chat. Settings only narrow what the
  operator allows, both in the tool list and on every call.
- A working scope narrows targetless listings and searches to its
  projects and groups, filters or composes results where GitLab has no
  per-scope form, refuses instance-wide calls it cannot narrow, and
  keeps creation (projects, groups, snippets) and mark_all_done inside
  the scope. Numeric IDs are resolved and checked as their paths.
- GITLAB_ALLOWED_PROJECT_IDS is enforced in the runner tools, with
  ownership checks read within the runner listing.
- Every REST call takes its base URL from the caller's instance.
- Account settings are stored with the sessions (PostgreSQL table and
  migration, or the session file), or in the user's settings directory
  with compare-and-set writes.
- New tools: get_settings and update_settings (the openai/settings
  page), check_connection, open_settings_panel (an MCP App panel) and
  find_scope_targets; manage_context gains clear_scope. The channel
  gateway forwards resources and tool list changes.
- manage_context switch_preset, set_scope and reset now affect the
  current chat only.

Closes #637

P2 Badge Advertise UI support from the gateway's downstream client

After adding the gateway's upstream MCP Apps capability, its downstream Client still initializes without capabilities.extensions["io.modelcontextprotocol/ui"]. The MCP Apps capability-negotiation contract requires clients to advertise the extension and supported MIME types, so a conforming downstream server can omit the panel metadata when launched through the channel gateway even though the gateway advertises that panel to its host; construct this client with MCP_APPS_EXTENSION as well.

P2 Badge Bound explicit-project lookups in scoped listings

When a preset contains hundreds of explicit projects, a plain scoped project listing or global project search performs one browse_projects get request for every configured project, up to 1,000 requests; concurrency of five limits only simultaneous work, not the total. This can exceed the 120-second handler timeout while the underlying requests continue, and scopes of exactly 1,000 projects are not even marked partial. Apply the same shared request budget used by the other composed feeds and return an explicitly partial page when it is exhausted.

P2 Badge Route supported ordering through the project-scope emulator

For a multi-project scope, adding sort to browse_projects { action: "list" } makes this allowlist reject the direct-project path even though listScopeProjects already implements the default created_at ordering in either direction. The call instead scans the instance-wide project feed and filters only its bounded prefix, so a configured project outside the first 1,000 global rows is omitted unnecessarily; allow sort and the ordering values the direct emulator can reproduce before falling back to filtered instance listings.
