+ ## How This Differs from GitLab's Official MCP Server
13
+
14
+ GitLab ships an [official MCP server](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/gitlab_duo/model_context_protocol/mcp_server/) (Beta) that requires **Premium/Ultimate** and **GitLab Duo** with beta features enabled. This community server is an alternative for teams that don't have those requirements or need different capabilities.

35
+
36
+ **Choose the official server** if you have GitLab Premium/Ultimate with Duo, need CI/CD pipeline tools, or prefer OAuth over PATs.
