Connect this server

Efficient Gitlab — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Efficient Gitlab?
Efficient Gitlab runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package efficient-gitlab-mcp-server was installed 96 times last week.
Is Efficient Gitlab still maintained?
The author archived this repository on GitHub, meaning it is no longer maintained. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect Efficient Gitlab?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls efficient-gitlab-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Efficient Gitlab?
The npm package efficient-gitlab-mcp-server was installed 96 times in the last week. Week over week that is -67%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Efficient Gitlab open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 3 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
