Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

The GitLab plugin currently hardcodes https://gitlab.com/api/v4/mcp as the MCP server URL. This means users with self-hosted GitLab instances (GitLab CE/EE) cannot use the plugin without manually patching the plugin cache file — which gets overwritten on every plugin update.

Workaround (Current)

Code Example

"pluginConfigs": {
    "gitlab@claude-plugins-official": {                                                                                                                     
      "options": {                     
        "gitlabUrl": "https://git.example.com"                                                                                                              
      }

Problem Statement

The GitLab plugin currently hardcodes https://gitlab.com/api/v4/mcp as the MCP server URL. This means users with self-hosted GitLab instances (GitLab CE/EE) cannot use the plugin without manually patching the plugin cache file — which gets overwritten on every plugin update.

Proposed Solution

Support a configurable base URL via pluginConfigs in settings.json:

  "pluginConfigs": {
    "gitlab@claude-plugins-official": {                                                                                                                     
      "options": {                     
        "gitlabUrl": "https://git.example.com"                                                                                                              
      }                                                  
    }  
  }

The plugin's .mcp.json would then resolve the URL from this config value instead of hardcoding gitlab.com.

Alternative Solutions

Workaround (Current)

Manually edit ~/.claude/plugins/cache/claude-plugins-official/gitlab/unknown/.mcp.json and replace the URL — but this reverts on every plugin update.

extent analysis

TL;DR

To fix the issue, support a configurable base URL via pluginConfigs in settings.json to allow users with self-hosted GitLab instances to use the plugin without manual patching.

Guidance

  • Modify the settings.json file to include a configurable base URL for the GitLab plugin, as shown in the proposed solution.
  • Update the plugin's .mcp.json file to resolve the URL from the config value instead of hardcoding gitlab.com.
  • Test the plugin with the updated configuration to ensure it works as expected with self-hosted GitLab instances.
  • Consider implementing a fallback or default value for users who do not configure the gitlabUrl option.

Example

"pluginConfigs": {
  "gitlab@claude-plugins-official": {
    "options": {
      "gitlabUrl": "https://git.example.com"
    }
  }
}

Notes

This solution assumes that the plugin's .mcp.json file can be updated to support a configurable URL. If this is not possible, an alternative solution may be required.

Recommendation

Apply workaround by modifying the settings.json file and updating the plugin's configuration, as this allows users with self-hosted GitLab instances to use the plugin without manual patching.
