# qodev-gitlab-cli

Agent-friendly CLI for the GitLab API. Designed for both human and AI-agent workflows, with structured JSON output, consistent flags, and predictable error codes.

## Why this CLI?

- **Agent-friendly** — `--json` on every command, consistent flags, predictable exit codes
- **Built for AI agent workflows** — works seamlessly with Claude Code, scripts, and automation pipelines
- **How it compares**: [`glab`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cli) is GitLab's official interactive CLI for humans; `qodev-gitlab` is optimized for programmatic and agent use

## Installation

```bash
pip install qodev-gitlab-cli
```

Or run directly without installing:

```bash
uvx qodev-gitlab-cli
```

## Quick Start

```bash
# Set your GitLab token
export GITLAB_TOKEN="glpat-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
```

```bash
# List open merge requests
$ qodev-gitlab mrs list
!42  Add authentication  opened  feature/auth → main

# Get MR details as JSON (for scripts/agents)
$ qodev-gitlab mrs get 42 --json
{"iid": 42, "title": "Add authentication", "state": "opened", ...}

# List pipelines
$ qodev-gitlab pipelines list
12345  running  main  2m ago

# Get details of a specific issue
$ qodev-gitlab issues get 42

# Create a merge request from the current branch
$ qodev-gitlab mrs create --title "Add new feature"
```
