403 Forbidden due to Cloudflare when using MCP server on GitLab.com #287
Description
Hi,
I’m using GitHub Copilot in PhpStorm with gitlab-mcp to access GitLab.com. While direct curl requests with my Personal Access Token work fine, the MCP server returns 403 Forbidden with a Cloudflare “Just a moment… Enable JavaScript and cookies to continue” page when trying to fetch merge requests.
Interestingly, using the official GitLab MCP server does not produce this issue.
Is this a known limitation of gitlab-mcp with Cloudflare-protected GitLab instances, or is it something specific to my setup?
Thanks for any guidance!
