description: Use GitLab from the terminal without registering an MCP server. Covers authenticating the zereight-mcp-gitlab CLI (PAT or OAuth device flow) and reading merge requests, diffs, discussions, issues, and pipelines. Use when the user asks about a GitLab MR/issue/pipeline and no GitLab MCP tools are available, or wants CLI-only setup.
