`gitlab_public_get_project`

Pack: gitlab-public · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/gitlab_public_get_project for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Get full details for a public GitLab project by numeric ID or “namespace/project” path (e.g., “gitlab-org/gitlab”). Pass the path as written, with a plain slash — do not URL-encode it, the tool handles that internally. Returns name, description, stars, forks, default branch, topics, and last activity date.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`id`	string	yes	Project numeric ID (e.g., “278964”) or “namespace/project” path with a plain slash (e.g., “gitlab-org/gitlab”). Do not percent-encode the slash.
