Introduces the GitLab MCP server, now generally available, which acts as an open standard for agents to interact with GitLab workflows. It provides a curated set of tools for agents to access code, pipelines, and group/wiki information with fewer API calls and reduced context bloat. New tools include `add_branch`, `get_repository_file`, `semantic_search`, `get_pipeline`, `list_pipelines`, `get_artifact_file`, `list_groups`, and `list_wiki_pages`. It also details how agents can initiate GitLab Duo Agent Platform flows directly from their client tools using new commands like `list_duo_agents_and_flows`, `start_duo_session`, `get_duo_session`, and `list_duo_sessions`. Toolsets are introduced to allow agents to work with a focused set of tools.
