| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Best for | CI/CD agents that file issues, inspect MRs, or check pipeline status. |
| Connect with | Route mode for api.gitlab.com, REST at {base}/gitlab/api/..., hosted https://{sessionId}.clones.molar.it/gitlab/api, or MCP molar_clone_spawn |
| Known limits | Recorded responses only; unimplemented paths return 501; read-only by default unless promoted stateful |
| Seeds | empty — apply on spawn or via molar_clone_seed |
MCP tools
Fixture clones use shared control-plane tools — no vendor-specific MCP surface.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
molar_clone_spawn | Spawn fixture session (kind: "gitlab", optional seed) |
molar_clone_seed | Apply a named seed to an existing session |
molar_clone_route | Map api.gitlab.com to the active session |
molar_clone_stop | Tear down the session |
See MCP server for world_snapshot, world_restore, and cross-clone tools.
REST API coverage
The clone handles these recorded endpoints (local base http://localhost:8000/gitlab/api):
GET /v4/projectsGET /v4/projects/101/issuesGET /v4/projects/101/merge_requests/42GET /v4/projects/101/pipelinesGET /v4/projects/101/repository/branchesPOST /v4/projects/101/issues
If your agent calls a path not in this list, the clone returns 501 unimplemented_in_clone and logs the request. Submit missing coverage via the dashboard Developers → 501 request form.
