What GitLab Groups (BYOK) is for

GitLab Groups (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own GitLab Groups data through the GitLab Groups API with a key you supply (personal access token (read_api scope)). Read-only: 11 tools (list_groups, get_group, list_subgroups, list_descendant_groups, list_group_projects, list_group_members, list_shared_groups, list_shared_projects, list_group_issues, list_group_merge_requests, list_group_releases). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to gitlab.com. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by GitLab Groups. GitLab Groups and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Ask your assistant things like:

• "Which GitLab groups do I own?"
• "Describe the gitlab-org group"
• "What subgroups does gitlab-org have?"
• "List all groups nested anywhere under gitlab-org"
• "Which projects are in gitlab-org, most recently active first?"
• "Who are the members of gitlab-org and what roles do they have?"

What it does

• list_groups: List GitLab groups visible to the token, optionally only those you own or only top-level groups, with path, visibility and creation date. Up to 100 per page.
• get_group: Get one group by ID or path: name, description, visibility, parent, creation date and project count; the project list inside it is left out.
• list_subgroups: List the direct subgroups of a group.
• list_descendant_groups: List every subgroup below a group, at any depth.
• list_group_projects: List the projects of a group, optionally including subgroups, with visibility, stars, forks, open issues and last activity.
• list_group_members: List the members of a group including inherited ones, with username, name, state, access level and expiry date; email addresses are left out.
• list_shared_groups: List the groups that have been shared with a group.
• list_shared_projects: List the projects that have been shared with a group.
• list_group_issues: List issues across all projects of a group (and its subgroups) filtered by state, author or search text.
• list_group_merge_requests: List merge requests across all projects of a group (and its subgroups) filtered by state, author, branch or search text.
• list_group_releases: List releases of all projects in a group with tag, name, release date and upcoming flag.

BYOK key

You bring your own GitLab Groups personal access token (read_api scope) (https://gitlab.com/-/user_settings/personal_access_tokens). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with each request. ConnectorBay uses it for that one call only: it is never stored, logged or cached, never shown in an answer, and it is only sent to gitlab.com over https, with no redirects followed. Create a key with the fewest permissions the tools need (read-only if the provider offers it), and revoke it at the provider whenever you like.

Data sources

• https://docs.gitlab.com/api/groups/ (the API this connector calls, with a BYOK key)

Live from the GitLab Groups API (gitlab.com) with a BYOK key; documentation: https://docs.gitlab.com/api/groups/. Endpoints checked against that documentation on 2026-10-16.

What it is not

Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by GitLab Groups. GitLab Groups and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with. It is read-only: it never creates, changes, sends or deletes anything in your GitLab Groups account.

Built for: Worldwide. Languages: English.

GitLab Groups (BYOK) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 October 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What GitLab Groups (BYOK) is. GitLab Groups (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own GitLab Groups data: Read GitLab.com groups: subgroups, group projects, members and roles, shared groups, group issues, merge requests and releases with your own personal access token. You bring your own GitLab Groups personal access token (read_api scope); the assistant sends it to us with each request.

BYOK key. The key you supply is used to make the one GitLab Groups call you asked for. Our application does not store it, write it to a log, put it in a cache, or share it. It is sent only to gitlab.com, over https, and is removed from any text we return to you or your assistant. We do not follow redirects with your key. If GitLab Groups rejects it, we say so without repeating it.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the BYOK key (for that call only), the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant) and standard server logs. What GitLab Groups receives. The request we make on your behalf, including the key and the arguments, under GitLab Groups's own terms and privacy policy. GitLab Groups acts at your direction and is the only recipient of the data of your request besides our hosting provider.

What we return. The answer GitLab Groups gives for your request, trimmed to the fields the tool documents. We do not keep it: it is returned to your assistant and not stored, cached or used to train anything.

What we do not do. We do not build a profile, sell or share personal information, or keep your GitLab Groups data. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting access logs (IP addresses, request paths and status codes) are kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention; our application adds no request headers or bodies to them.

Sub-processors. GitLab Groups (the API you call with a BYOK key, at your direction). Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Your rights. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. Revoke your key at GitLab Groups at any time to end all access.

Children. GitLab Groups (BYOK) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant, under GitLab Groups's own age rules.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
