This allows you to restrict the set of exposed tools in order to prevent blowing up the LLM's context window.\n\nYou can configure tool filtering via multiple input channels:\n\n- **CLI Arguments:** Pass `--tools` or `--toolsets` (or their disabled counterparts `--disabled-tools` and `--disabled-toolsets`) during startup.\n- **Environment Variables:** Define standard environment variables:\n  - `MCP_ENABLED_TOOLS` / `MCP_DISABLED_TOOLS`\n  - `MCP_ENABLED_TAGS` / `MCP_DISABLED_TAGS`\n- **HTTP SSE Request Headers:** Pass custom headers during transport initialization:\n  - `x-mcp-enabled-tools` / `x-mcp-disabled-tools`\n  - `x-mcp-enabled-tags` / `x-mcp-disabled-tags`\n- **HTTP SSE Request Query Parameters:** Append query parameters directly to your transport connection URL:\n  - `?tools=tool1,tool2`\n  - `?tags=tag1`\n\nWhen query strings or parameters are supplied, an LLM-free **Knowledge Graph resolution layer** (using `DynamicToolOrchestrator`) matches query intents against known tool tags, names, or descriptions, with safe fallback and automated 24-hour background cache refreshing.\n\n---\n\n### MCP Configuration Examples\n\n#### stdio Transport (Recommended for local IDEs e.g., Cursor, Claude Desktop)\nConfigure your IDE's `mcp.json` to launch the MCP server via `uvx`:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"gitlab-api\": {\n      \"command\": \"uvx\",\n      \"args\": [\n        \"--from\",\n        \"gitlab-api\",\n        \"gitlab-mcp\"\n      ],\n      \"env\": {\n        \"GITLAB_URL\": \"your_gitlab_url_here\",\n        \"GITLAB_TOKEN\": \"your_gitlab_token_here\"\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n#### Streamable-HTTP Transport (Recommended for production deployments)\nConfigure your client's `mcp.json` to launch the Streamable-HTTP server via `uvx` with explicit host and port definition:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"gitlab-api\": {\n      \"command\": \"uvx\",\n      \"args\": [\n        \"--from\",\n        \"gitlab-api\",\n        \"gitlab-mcp\"\n      ],\n      \"env\": {\n        \"TRANSPORT\": \"streamable-http\",\n        \"HOST\": \"0.0.0.0\",\n        \"PORT\": \"8000\",\n        \"GITLAB_URL\": \"your_gitlab_url_here\",\n        \"GITLAB_TOKEN\": \"your_gitlab_token_here\"\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nAlternatively, connect to a pre-deployed remote or local Streamable-HTTP instance:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"gitlab-api\": {\n      \"url\": \"http://localhost:8000/gitlab-api/mcp\"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nDeploying the Streamable-HTTP server via Docker:\n\n```bash\ndocker run -d \\\n  --name gitlab-api-mcp \\\n  -p 8000:8000 \\\n  -e TRANSPORT=streamable-http \\\n  -e PORT=8000 \\\n  -e GITLAB_URL=\"your_value\" \\\n  -e GITLAB_TOKEN=\"your_value\" \\\n  knucklessg1/gitlab-api:latest\n```\n\n---\n\n\u003c!-- BEGIN GENERATED: additional-deployment-options --\u003e\n### Additional Deployment Options\n\n`gitlab-api` can also run as a **local container** (Docker / Podman / `uv`) or be\nconsumed from a **remote deployment**. The\n[Deployment guide](https://knuckles-team.github.io/gitlab-api/deployment/) has full, copy-paste\n`mcp_config.json` for all four transports — **stdio**, **streamable-http**,\n**local container / uv**, and **remote URL**:\n\n- **Local container / uv** — launch the server from `mcp_config.json` via `uvx`,\n  `docker run`, or `podman run`, or point at a local streamable-http container by `url`.\n- **Remote URL** — connect to a server deployed behind Caddy at\n  `http://gitlab-mcp.arpa/mcp` using the `\"url\"` key.\n\u003c!-- END GENERATED: additional-deployment-options --\u003e\n\n## Agent\n\nThis repository features a fully integrated Pydantic AI Graph Agent. It communicates over the **Agent Control Protocol (ACP)** and interacts seamlessly with the **Agent Web UI (AG-UI)** and Terminal interface.\n\n### Running the Agent CLI\nTo start the interactive command-line agent:\n\n```bash\n# Set credentials\nexport GITLAB_URL=\"your_value\"\nexport GITLAB_TOKEN=\"your_value\"\n\n# Run the agent server\ngitlab-agent --provider openai --model-id gpt-4o\n```\n\n### Docker Compose Orchestration\nThe following `docker/agent.compose.yml` configures the Agent, Web UI, and Terminal Interface together:\n\n```yaml\nversion: '3.8'\n\nservices:\n  gitlab-api-mcp:\n    image: knucklessg1/gitlab-api:latest\n    container_name: gitlab-api-mcp\n    hostname: gitlab-api-mcp\n    restart: always\n    env_file:\n      - ../.env\n    environment:\n      - PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1\n      - HOST=0.0.0.0\n      - PORT=8000\n      - TRANSPORT=streamable-http\n    ports:\n      - \"8000:8000\"\n    healthcheck:\n      test: [\"CMD\", \"python3\", \"-c\", \"import urllib.request; urllib.request.urlopen('http://localhost:8000/health')\"]\n      interval: 30s\n      timeout: 10s\n      retries: 3\n      start_period: 10s\n    logging:\n      driver: json-file\n      options:\n        max-size: \"10m\"\n        max-file: \"3\"\n\n  gitlab-api-agent:\n    image: knucklessg1/gitlab-api:latest\n    container_name: gitlab-api-agent\n    hostname: gitlab-api-agent\n    restart: always\n    depends_on:\n      - gitlab-api-mcp\n    env_file:\n      - ../.env\n    command: [ \"gitlab-agent\" ]\n    environment:\n      - PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1\n      - HOST=0.0.0.0\n      - PORT=9017\n      - MCP_URL=http://gitlab-api-mcp:8000/mcp\n      - PROVIDER=${PROVIDER:-openai}\n      - MODEL_ID=${MODEL_ID:-gpt-4o}\n      - ENABLE_WEB_UI=True\n      - ENABLE_OTEL=True\n    ports:\n      - \"9017:9017\"\n    healthcheck:\n      test: [\"CMD\", \"python3\", \"-c\", \"import urllib.request; urllib.request.urlopen('http://localhost:9017/health')\"]\n      interval: 30s\n      timeout: 10s\n      retries: 3\n      start_period: 10s\n    logging:\n      driver: json-file\n      options:\n        max-size: \"10m\"\n        max-file: \"3\"\n\n```\n\nDetailed graph node architecture explanations, custom skill configurations, and agentic trace guides are available in [docs/agent.md](docs/agent.md).\n\n---\n\n## Security \u0026 Governance\n\nBuilt directly upon the enterprise-ready [`agent-utilities`](https://github.com/Knuckles-Team/agent-utilities) core, standard security parameters are fully supported:\n\n### Access Control \u0026 Policy Enforcement\n- **Eunomia Policies:** Fine-grained, policy-driven tool authorization. Supports `none`, local `embedded` (`mcp_policies.json`), or centralized `remote` modes.\n- **OIDC Token Delegation:** Compliant with RFC 8693 token exchange for flowing authenticating user credentials from Web UI / ACP → Agent → MCP.\n- **Scoped Credentials:** Execution context runs restricted to the specific caller identity.\n\n### Runtime Security Grid\n| Feature | Functionality | Enablement |\n|---------|---------------|------------|\n| **Tool Guard** | Sensitivity inspection with human-in-the-loop validation | Enabled by default |\n| **Prompt Injection Defense** | Input scanning, repetition monitoring, and recursive loop blocks | Enabled by default |\n| **Context Safety Guard** | Stuck-loop detectors and contextual overflow preemptive alerts | Enabled by default |\n\n---\n\n## Installation\n\nInstall the Python package locally:\n\n```bash\n# Using uv (highly recommended)\nuv pip install gitlab-api[all]\n\n# Using standard pip\npython -m pip install gitlab-api[all]\n```\n\n---\n\n## Documentation\n\nThe complete documentation is published as the\n[official documentation site](https://knuckles-team.github.io/gitlab-api/) and is the\nrecommended reference for installation, deployment, and day-to-day operation.\n\n| Page | Contents |\n|---|---|\n| [Installation](https://knuckles-team.github.io/gitlab-api/installation/) | pip, source, extras, prebuilt Docker image |\n| [Deployment](https://knuckles-team.github.io/gitlab-api/deployment/) | run the MCP and agent servers, Compose, Caddy + Technitium, env config |\n| [Usage](https://knuckles-team.github.io/gitlab-api/usage/) | the MCP tools, the `Api` client, the CLI |\n| [Backing Platform](https://knuckles-team.github.io/gitlab-api/platform/) | deploy GitLab with Docker |\n| [Overview](https://knuckles-team.github.io/gitlab-api/overview/) | the action-routed tool surface and architecture |\n| [Concepts](https://knuckles-team.github.io/gitlab-api/concepts/) | concept registry (`CONCEPT:GL-*`) |\n\n---\n\n## Repository Owners\n\n\u003cimg width=\"100%\" height=\"180em\" src=\"https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=Knucklessg1\u0026show_icons=true\u0026hide_border=true\u0026\u0026count_private=true\u0026include_all_commits=true\" /\u003e\n\n![GitHub followers](https://img.shields.io/github/followers/Knucklessg1)\n![GitHub User's stars](https://img.shields.io/github/stars/Knucklessg1)\n\n---\n\n## Contribute\n\nContributions are welcome!
