• Comprehensive security reports
• Support for multiple branches

• Git Operations
• Branch enumeration and management
• Commit history analysis
• Diff comparisons
• Repository structure visualization

Usage

Basic MCP Commands

# Analyze repository structure
analyze_repository_structure(
    repo_url="https://gitlab.com/user/repo",
    gitlab_credentials={"api_key": "your-token"},  # Optional
    branch="main"  # Optional
)

# Perform code quality analysis
analyze_code_quality(
    repo_url="https://gitlab.com/user/repo",
    language="python"  # Optional, will auto-detect if not specified
)

# Security scan
security_scan_repository(
    repo_url="https://gitlab.com/user/repo",
    scan_type="trivy"
)

# Compare changes
compare_git_changes(
    repo_url="https://gitlab.com/user/repo",
    source="feature-branch",
    target="main"
)

# Security scan repository
security_scan_repository(
    repo_url="https://gitlab.com/user/repo",
    scan_type="trivy"
)

### MCP Configuration

        "argus"
    ],
    "alwaysAllow": [
        "get_commit_history",
        "enumerate_branches",
        "compare_git_changes",
        "analyze_code_quality",

Supported Analysis Tools

| Language | Tools | Installation | |------------|-------------------------|------------------------------------------------| | Go | gocyclo, golangci-lint | go install github.com/fzipp/gocyclo/cmd/gocyclo@latest | | Java | PMD | macOS: brew install pmd, Linux: Auto-installed | | Python | Pylint, Bandit | Auto-installed via dependencies | | JavaScript | ESLint | npm install -g eslint |

Environment Variables

• SKIP_SYSTEM_CHECK: Set to any value to skip system dependency checks
• PATH: Automatically updated for tool installations

Error Handling

The tool provides detailed error messages and graceful fallbacks:

• Dependency installation failures show warnings instead of errors
• Language detection falls back to specified language if auto-detection fails
• Tool execution errors are captured in the response structure
