User Problem to Solve

GitLab's official MCP server lacks discoverability among Claude Desktop users. While we have successfully launched the MCP server and it's available for use, potential users must manually discover and configure it. Anthropic maintains an official connectors directory at https://www.claude.com/connectors where Claude Desktop users browse and discover MCP servers. Without a presence in this directory, we're missing a critical opportunity for:

• Brand recognition - GitLab should be prominently featured alongside other major development platforms in the Claude ecosystem
• User discoverability - Developers using Claude Desktop should easily find our official MCP server without needing to search external documentation
• Competitive positioning - Other development platforms and tools are already listed in the directory, establishing themselves as first-class Claude integrations
• Reduced friction - Users currently must manually configure our MCP server; directory listing could streamline the setup process
