MCP.Pizza Chef: zereight

Work that normally means clicking through the GitLab website can happen in conversation instead: open and triage issues, review and comment on merge requests, check whether a build passed, browse a repository, edit wiki pages, and cut releases or tags. It works with gitlab.com and with self-hosted GitLab. You sign in with a personal access token or a browser login, and there is a read-only mode if you would rather it never change anything.
