In MCP Servers

How to read this: HVTrust (0–100) weighs supply-chain signals (provenance, OSSF Scorecard, signed commits, open license) alongside real-world adoption. Grade D reflects the trust score band: A ≥ 80, B ≥ 65, C ≥ 50, D < 50. Evidence coverage C is separate — it grades how many independent signal types back the score (2 of 5), so a high score on thin evidence stays visible. Full methodology →

Is Gitlab MCP safe?

Public trust evidence for Gitlab MCP is thin: several supply-chain signals are missing or weak. This does not mean the project is unsafe — it means an outside observer cannot easily verify the usual integrity checks. Treat with extra scrutiny.

Does Gitlab MCP publish package provenance?

Yes. Gitlab MCP's package releases carry build provenance attestations, which cryptographically link the published package back to its source repository and CI workflow.

Does Gitlab MCP have an OpenSSF Scorecard?

No OpenSSF Scorecard data is currently published for Gitlab MCP. Maintainers can enable the Scorecard GitHub Action to get a public score; without it, automated supply-chain hygiene is harder for outsiders to verify.

Is Gitlab MCP actively maintained?

Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 2 day(s).

What license does Gitlab MCP use?

Gitlab MCP ships under MIT. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.

Are Gitlab MCP's commits signed?

53% of the last 100 commits to Gitlab MCP are verified-signed (GPG, SSH, S/MIME, or GitHub's signing flow). Signed commits help confirm that code was authored by who the commit claims.

Not a safety endorsement. HVTracker describes what public signals show, not whether a project is safe for your use case. Run your own security review before adopting in production.

Maintain Gitlab MCP?

For maintainers

HVTrust scores Gitlab MCP from public signals only — we never contact maintainers first. If a signal is wrong, stale, or missing (provenance you publish, a Scorecard you run, signed releases), tell us and we'll review it. Corrections are public and tracked on GitHub.
