🚀 agentic-cicd: Automate GitLab CI/CD with Natural Language + AI

“Automate your GitLab CI/CD workflows using natural language — powered by AI and Google Cloud.”

---

✨ Overview

agentic-cicd is an intelligent DevOps agent that allows users to automate complex GitLab CI/CD workflows simply by describing what they want in natural language.

It bridges natural language commands and real infrastructure changes by using an AI-driven multi-agent system that understands, generates, pushes, and monitors CI/CD pipelines on GitLab.

Whether you're a developer looking to set up a CI/CD pipeline or an ops engineer handling deployments — this tool simplifies GitLab automation through LLMs + agents + MCP tool servers.

🧠 Key Features

• 🔐 GitLab OAuth Integration – Connect your GitLab account securely.

• 💬 Natural Language Input – Describe what you want, like:

  Set up CI to run tests on push and deploy to GKE when main branch is updated.
  

• 🤖 Multi-Agent AI Engine – Understands the request and plans accordingly.

• ⚙️ Pipeline & Infra Generation – Generates .gitlab-ci.yml, Dockerfile, Terraform, Helm config, etc.

• ↻ Push + Merge Request – Pushes the generated files to your GitLab repo and opens an MR.

• 🔍 Pipeline Monitoring – Optionally track status of the build, test, and deployment stages.

• 🧹 MCP Server/Client Architecture – Modular tool abstraction to interface with GitLab API via agents.

🧠 Multi-Agent Architecture – LangGraphJS Supervisor Pattern

This project follows the LangGraphJS Multi-Agent Supervisor Pattern to automate GitLab CI/CD workflows using natural language commands.

---

🧑‍⚖️ 1. Supervisor Agent

• The central decision-maker.
• Receives natural language input from the user.
• Maintains shared memory and execution state across agents.
• Dynamically delegates to sub-agents using a graph-based control flow.

---

🔄 Agent Workflow Graph

The Supervisor uses LangGraph to define a directed graph of agents, where edges represent conditional flows based on task results.

---

🤖 Sub-Agents

Each agent handles a distinct responsibility within the pipeline.

---

🧭 PlanAgent

“Understand what needs to be done.”

• Parses user intent and decomposes it into logical subtasks.
• Understands GitLab CI/CD terminology and translates user commands accordingly.
• Outputs a plan with goals such as:
  • Generate .gitlab-ci.yml
  • Create Dockerfile
  • Define cloud deployment strategy (e.g., GKE)

---

🧑‍💻 CodeAgent

“Write the code/configuration needed.”

• Converts the structured plan into CI/CD artifacts such as:
  • .gitlab-ci.yml
  • Dockerfile
  • Terraform / Helm configurations
• Adapts generation based on selected cloud providers (GCP, AWS, etc.)
• Can scaffold standard GitLab CI templates dynamically.

---

🧪 TestAgent

“Validate the configuration before use.”

• Runs tests on generated configuration to ensure correctness.
• Performs:
  • YAML linting / CI syntax validation
  • Dry-run of GitLab CI if applicable
  • Optional LLM-assisted analysis of pipeline logic

---

💬 ChatAgent

“Explain what’s happening or answer user queries.”

• Maintains conversation with the user.
• Can answer questions like:
  • "What is this pipeline doing?"
  • "Why did my build fail?"
• Pushes updates about:
  • MR creation
  • Pipeline execution
  • Deployment status
• Can re-prompt for missing details if required

---

🔧 GitLab MCP Tool Server (Tool Use via API)

Agents like CodeAgent and ChatAgent interact with GitLab via a dedicated Tool Server (GitLab MCP Server).

🛠 MCP GitLab Tool Server

• A REST API wrapper around GitLab’s official APIs.
• Allows fine-grained agent control over GitLab actions like:
  • Getting project info
  • Creating branches/commits
  • Listing and triggering pipelines
  • Monitoring job statuses
  • Opening Merge Requests

---

🤝 MCP Client

• Each agent uses an MCP Client to communicate with the Tool Server.
• Benefits:
  • Keeps logic clean and separated from direct API calls.
  • Enables observability, tracing, and debugging of agent decisions.
  • Makes actions reversible and replicable.

---

🔄 Feedback Loop

1. User Input

   “Set up CI to run tests on push and deploy to GKE when main is updated.”

2. Supervisor Flow

   • PlanAgent → Understands the request and breaks into subgoals.
   • CodeAgent → Generates .gitlab-ci.yml, Dockerfile, etc.
   • TestAgent → Validates the generated files.
   • GitLab MCP Server → Applies the changes via GitLab API (opens MR).
   • ChatAgent → Informs the user and monitors progress.

3. Pipeline Execution

   • GitLab CI is triggered.
   • Status is periodically updated to the user.

---

✅ Why LangGraphJS?

• Structured Reasoning
  Flow is modeled as a directed graph for better traceability and control.

• Shared Memory Across Agents
  All agents work with a centralized state context.

• Retries and Fallbacks
  Automatically retry failed tasks or re-ask user when needed.

• Plug-and-Play Agents
  Each agent is modular, testable, and can be extended independently.

---

✨ The result is a natural-language-driven GitLab CI/CD automation system powered by intelligent agents, tailored infrastructure, and real-time feedback – all orchestrated via LangGraph.

🔐 Authorization:

• Uses the user’s OAuth token to act on their behalf.
• Each API call is scoped by the GitLab OAuth access token.

❗ Troubleshooting

Issue	Fix
CORS error	Ensure backend sets correct Access-Control-Allow-Origin
OAuth redirect 404	Check GitLab app redirect URI matches deployed frontend
Failed to fetch	Backend must be live + CORS enabled
503 MCP Init	GitLab token expired or MCP endpoint down
CI config invalid	Re-run or correct command syntax
