GitLab ACTION

Get Merge Request Commits

List the commits contained in a merge request, newest first. Use this to understand how a change was built up — whether it is one clean commit or a long history to squash, who wrote each part, and what the commit messages claim. For the actual code changes call Get Merge Request Diffs instead; for merge readiness call Get Merge Request. See the documentation

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's GitLab account once, then configure and run Get Merge Request Commits from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "gitlab-get-merge-request-commits",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    gitlab: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    projectId: "Project",
    mergeRequestIid: 10,
  },
})

console.log(result)

SCHEMA

Inputs

Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.

Get Merge Request Commits inputs
Property Type Description
projectId Project string
The project, given either as its path — group/project or group/subgroup/project, e.g. backend/payments — or as its numeric project ID. The path is what appears in the project URL and is usually what a user will name, so prefer it. A pasted GitLab URL also works. Use List Projects to find the path if you only know part of the name.
Required
mergeRequestIid Merge Request IID integer
The merge request's internal ID — the !N shown in the GitLab UI and the number at the end of the merge request URL. This is not the id field, which is a much larger instance-wide number; passing id here returns a 404. Use List Merge Requests or Search Merge Requests to resolve the IID from a title, branch or author.
Required
maxResults Max Results integer
Maximum number of records to return in total, paginating as needed. Defaults to 100. GitLab caps a single page at 100, so higher values mean multiple requests — keep it modest unless you need the whole list.
Optional
detail Detail string
How much of each commit to return. summary (the default) returns SHA, title, author and date. Use full for the complete commit objects, including the full message body and stats.
Optional

REFERENCE

Tool details

Behavior hints are published with the component in the Pipedream registry and surface as MCP tool annotations, so an agent can reason about a tool before it calls it.
