How Nexatron connects to GitLab Self-Managed

Whose permissions
Your administrator approves the access the GitLab Self-Managed connection uses. Where GitLab Self-Managed supports per-user sign-in, answers run under each person's own access, and Nexatron roles decide who in your company can ask.
Read and write
Questions are read-only: asking never changes GitLab Self-Managed data.
Setup
Our team sets up the GitLab Self-Managed connection with your administrator during the pilot. No data migration and no pipeline to build: data is queried where it lives.

GitLab Self-Managed MCP connector for Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot

Nexatron's hosted MCP server is a governed GitLab Self-Managed MCP connector: Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot ask questions of your GitLab Self-Managed data through it. Each person signs in as themselves, so the assistant sees only what they may see.

Connect GitLab Self-Managed to Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot

  1. Connect GitLab Self-Managed to your Nexatron workspace.
  2. In Claude, add Nexatron from Claude's connector directory. In ChatGPT or Copilot, add a custom MCP connector with the server URL https://api.nexatron.io/api/v1/mcp.
  3. Sign in with your own Nexatron identity (OAuth 2.1), then ask your GitLab Self-Managed questions.

GitLab Self-Managed connector FAQ

Can I ask GitLab Self-Managed questions without writing queries?
Yes. Ask in Teams, Slack, the Nexatron web app, or an AI assistant connected through Nexatron's MCP server.
Does Nexatron respect GitLab Self-Managed permissions?
Yes. Where GitLab Self-Managed supports per-user sign-in, answers run under each person's own access.
Can Nexatron change data in GitLab Self-Managed?
No. Asking a question never changes GitLab Self-Managed data.
What do I need to connect GitLab Self-Managed?
An administrator who can approve the connection. Our team sets it up with them during the pilot.
Is there a GitLab Self-Managed MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot?
Yes: Nexatron's hosted MCP server, once GitLab Self-Managed is connected to your workspace. It is Nexatron's server, not one published by GitLab Self-Managed, and the assistant gets the same governed answer as the Nexatron app.
