GitLab functions as both an MCP client (allowing Duo features to connect to external tools) and MCP server (enabling external AI tools like Cursor and Claude Desktop to connect to GitLab instances). This bidirectional support eliminates context switching by letting developers interact with their entire toolkit through natural language directly in their IDE, while maintaining strict security and authentication controls. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
