What GitLab Packages (BYOK) is for

GitLab Packages (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own GitLab Packages data through the GitLab Packages API with a key you supply (personal access token (read_api scope)). Read-only: 10 tools (list_project_packages, get_package, list_package_files, list_group_packages, list_registry_repositories, list_group_registry_repositories, list_registry_tags, get_registry_tag, list_project_releases, get_project_release). 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 Packages. GitLab Packages 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 npm packages does gitlab-org/gitlab publish?"
• "Describe package 123 of gitlab-org/gitlab"
• "Which files does package 123 of gitlab-org/gitlab contain?"
• "Which packages exist across gitlab-org?"
• "Which container images does gitlab-org/gitlab have in its registry?"
• "Which container images exist across gitlab-org?"

What it does

• list_project_packages: List the packages in a project's package registry (npm, PyPI, Maven, generic and others) with version, type, status and last download time.
• get_package: Get one package of a project by its numeric ID: name, version, type, status, creation and last download time and the pipeline that built it.
• list_package_files: List the files that make up a package with name, size and SHA-256 checksum.
• list_group_packages: List packages across all projects of a group (and its subgroups) with project path, version, type and status.
• list_registry_repositories: List the container registry repositories of a project with location, tag count and size.
• list_group_registry_repositories: List the container registry repositories of all projects in a group with location and project.
• list_registry_tags: List the tags (names and image locations) of one container registry repository.
• get_registry_tag: Get one container image tag: digest, revision, creation time and total size.
• list_project_releases: List a project's releases, newest first, with tag, name, notes, release date and author.
• get_project_release: Get one project release by its tag name with notes, release date, author and commit.

BYOK key

You bring your own GitLab Packages 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/packages/ (the API this connector calls, with a BYOK key)

Live from the GitLab Packages API (gitlab.com) with a BYOK key; documentation: https://docs.gitlab.com/api/packages/. 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 Packages. GitLab Packages 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 Packages account.

GitLab Packages (BYOK) — Privacy Policy

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

What GitLab Packages (BYOK) is. GitLab Packages (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own GitLab Packages data: Read GitLab.com package registry packages and files, container registry repositories and tags, and project releases with your own personal access token. You bring your own GitLab Packages 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 Packages 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 Packages 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 Packages receives. The request we make on your behalf, including the key and the arguments, under GitLab Packages's own terms and privacy policy. GitLab Packages 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 Packages 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 Packages 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 Packages (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 Packages at any time to end all access.

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

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