I use the GitLab CLI (glab) extensively, because it is so much better than the (official) GitLab MCP. I just run `glab auth login` before launching Claude Code, then tell CC to use `glab` to communicate with the GitLab API.

When using the MCP, I have to do a whole OAuth browser-launch process and even then I am only limited to the 9-10 tools that they've shipped it with so far.
