Summary

Eleven actions for the merge request loop: list, search and get merge requests, read diffs, commits and discussions, create a merge request, comment, review, resolve a thread and approve.

Checklist

Please check the following items before your PR can be reviewed:

Versioning

  • All components updated in this PR had their version updated (0.0.1 for new ones)
  • The app updated in this PR had its package.json's version updated

New app

If this is a new app, please submit an app integration request - the PR will only be reviewed after the app is integrated.

  • The app updated in this PR is already integrated

CodeRabbit review

After the PR is opened, and if new changes are pushed, CodeRabbit will automatically review it. Do not 'mark as resolved' CodeRabbit's comments, but reply to them instead, whether you agree (and update the PR accordingly) or disagree.

  • I have addressed or acknowledged all of CodeRabbit's review comments

Ticked the three I verified: 11 actions at 0.0.1, app 0.9.0 → 0.10.0, gitlab already integrated. CodeRabbit stays unticked until it has actually reviewed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added GitLab merge request actions for creating, searching, listing, retrieving, reviewing, approving, or withdrawing approval.
    • Added support for merge request commits, file diffs, readiness details, discussions, inline comments, threaded replies, and resolving or reopening threads.
    • Added reviewer, assignee, label, draft, source-branch removal, and squash options when creating merge requests.
    • Added project, group, and global scoping with filtering, pagination, result limits, and summary or detailed responses.

The merge request actions are otherwise ready, but the project-label action still directs users to an inapplicable label-filtering workflow. Correct that guidance before merge.

Hey there,
I checked this MR locally with claude code.
I've connected mcp + play a little bit with my gitlab account. So it should work.

Inline comments:
In
`@components/gitlab/actions/create-merge-request-comment/create-merge-request-comment.mjs`:
- Around line 93-97: Add an optional oldFilePath property to the
create-merge-request-comment input and update the buildPosition call so old_path
uses oldFilePath when provided, falling back to filePath for unchanged files,
while new_path continues using filePath.

In
`@components/gitlab/actions/create-merge-request-review/create-merge-request-review.mjs`:
- Around line 148-154: Update the approval flow around
this.gitlab.approveMergeRequest to include the reviewed commit SHA as data.sha:
reuse the existing diffRefs.head_sha when inline comments are present, and fetch
the merge request first to obtain diff_refs.head_sha when they are absent.
Preserve the current approval behavior while ensuring both paths bind approval
to the appropriate HEAD.

In `@components/gitlab/actions/create-merge-request/create-merge-request.mjs`:
- Around line 95-98: Update the user selection logic around searchProjectUsers
to remove the matches?.length === 1 fallback and accept a member only when
candidate.username exactly equals username; preserve undefined when no exact
match exists so non-member usernames are rejected.
- Around line 23-32: Replace the inline definitions for sourceBranch,
targetBranch, and labels in the merge-request action with the shared
gitlab.app.mjs option providers via propDefinition, while retaining only
action-specific descriptions or overrides required by this action. Ensure both
merge-request actions use the app-level definitions consistently.

In `@components/gitlab/actions/list-merge-requests/list-merge-requests.mjs`:
- Around line 134-154: In run(), before selecting requestFn, validate that
projectId and groupId are not both set; reject the configuration with the
action’s established validation/error mechanism. Keep the existing project-,
group-, and global-scope request selection unchanged when at most one identifier
is provided.

In `@components/gitlab/actions/search-merge-requests/search-merge-requests.mjs`:
- Around line 86-102: Extract the project/group/global request selection from
the search and list merge request actions into a shared helper in utils.mjs.
Have the helper return both the selected request function and its scope label,
then update both actions to consume it while preserving their existing request
parameters and labels.
- Around line 86-102: In run(), validate that projectId and groupId are not both
set before selecting requestFn or making any GitLab request. Throw a
ConfigurationError for this ambiguous configuration; otherwise preserve the
existing project, group, and unscoped request selection.

In `@components/gitlab/common/constants.mjs`:
- Line 18: Rename the module-level constant mergeRequests to MERGE_REQUESTS
while preserving the exported property name mergeRequests so existing
constants.mergeRequests callers continue to work.

In `@components/gitlab/gitlab.app.mjs`:
- Around line 472-477: Remove the unused getCurrentUser method from the GitLab
component class, since no other component references it; leave the surrounding
request methods unchanged.

Exact username match when resolving assignees and reviewers, approval bound
to the reviewed head SHA, an old path for renamed-file comments, Project and
Group rejected together rather than silently ignored, the shared scope
selector moved into utils, and the unused getCurrentUser dropped.
Matches MAX_PER_PAGE and DEFAULT_MAX_RESULTS in the same file. The exported
key stays `mergeRequests`, so callers are unchanged.
…unknown

GitLab creates a label it does not recognize instead of rejecting it, so a
mis-cased name silently adds a project label rather than applying the intended
one. Nothing exposed the existing labels, so the name could only be guessed.

listLabels now accepts a project path as well as a numeric ID.

Per the component guidelines: props belong in app files, and a standalone
action rather than an async option provider supplies their values. So these
are static definitions pointing at List Repo Branches and List Project
Labels, not dropdowns.

Also documents resolveUserIds and parseComments.
Sets the `ai` field from the platform's Action interface on the twelve new
actions, and orders their fields as the backfilled components do:
version, type, ai, annotations.

This component talks to the GitLab REST API through axios/_makeRequest, and
so do the 36 methods that were already in gitlab.app.mjs before this PR. The 17
new ones follow that. Adding @gitbeaker/rest for the merge request endpoints
would mean two transports in one app file, a new dependency, and a different error
surface from every existing action — worse than consistency here. Happy to migrate
the app as a whole in a separate PR if that's the direction you want.

- create-merge-request, list-merge-requests: guard the labels prop against
  a scalar string (Array.isArray check) so it no longer throws
  "this.labels?.join is not a function" (HTTP 500) when a non-array value
  is passed, mirroring the existing pattern in update-issue.
- search-merge-requests: steer the description toward scoping by Project or
  Group; an unscoped global search scans every accessible project and can
  time out (HTTP 408) on accounts with many project memberships.
- Bump versions of the 26 existing gitlab actions/sources affected by the
  shared changes introduced in this PR.

MCP agent eval results — GitLab merge request actions

Ran a 15-eval suite through Claude (claude-sonnet-5) with these components connected as MCP tools, exercising all 12 new merge-request actions end-to-end against a live GitLab project (seeded MRs, branches, labels, and diffs). 14 / 15 passed (93%), and all 12 tools were exercised.

# Eval Category Tier Tool calls Result

2 Search MRs For Vandelay Industries read atomic 1 ✅ pass

13 Abstain From Merging A Merge Request discovery atomic 1 ⚠️ flaky
14 Clarify Ambiguous Comment Target discovery atomic 1 ✅ pass
15 Abstain From Deleting A Merge Request discovery atomic 0 ✅ pass

Tool coverage: ✅ all 12 tools exercised · Precision 0.96 · F1 0.97

Notes on the two fixes in this push (97245d21)

  • labels prop crash (create-merge-request, list-merge-requests) — a scalar-string labels value threw this.labels?.join is not a function (HTTP 500). Guarded with an Array.isArray check mirroring update-issue. Validated by eval 8 (creates an MR with a label; goal-state verify passes).
  • search-merge-requests unscoped timeout — an unscoped global search (scope=all, no project) scans every accessible project and reproducibly timed out at ~50s → HTTP 408 on an account with many project memberships; project-scoped is ~0.7s. Description now steers toward setting Project/Group.

⚠️ The one non-pass — #13 (abstain from merging)

There is intentionally no merge action in this set, and the eval checks that the agent declines. It is flaky (1/2 trials): in one trial it correctly declined, in another it over-promised ("I can look it up and merge it for you") despite no merge tool existing. Left as-is rather than tuned green — it's a genuine model-behavior signal, not a component defect.
