## Performance

- [Sizing a Deployment](https://docs.jmrp.io/gitlab-mcp-server/performance/sizing/): How many people one instance holds, and what actually decides it: what a credential costs at rest, what a configuration shape costs once, what a call costs, and the knobs worth turning at scale.
- [Resource Benchmark](https://docs.jmrp.io/gitlab-mcp-server/performance/resource-benchmark/): What the server costs to run, measured rather than estimated: resident memory, processor time, goroutines and per-method latency on both transports, across tool surfaces, client counts and telemetry.

## Machine-readable references

These files are generated from the server's own catalog rather than from the site, and are republished here unchanged. Every entry carries its size, because that is what decides which ones you can load and which ones you can only retrieve from. Start with the server index.

- [Server index](https://docs.jmrp.io/gitlab-mcp-server/llms-server.txt) (23 KB, ~6k tokens): the MCP server itself: install channels, client configuration, environment variables, and a one-line summary of every meta-tool, resource and prompt
- [Medium reference](https://docs.jmrp.io/gitlab-mcp-server/llms-medium.txt) (157 KB, ~40k tokens): every tool and action with its description, without the per-action JSON schemas. The largest of these that still loads into a context window
- [Meta-tool and dynamic surfaces, full schemas](https://docs.jmrp.io/gitlab-mcp-server/llms-full-meta-tools.txt) (2.3 MB, ~615k tokens): complete schemas for the two-tool dynamic surface and the domain meta-tools only
- [Individual tools, full schemas](https://docs.jmrp.io/gitlab-mcp-server/llms-full-individual-tools.txt) (983 KB, ~252k tokens): complete schemas for the one-tool-per-operation surface only
- [Resources and prompts, full definitions](https://docs.jmrp.io/gitlab-mcp-server/llms-full-resources-prompts.txt) (32 KB, ~8k tokens): MCP resource and prompt definitions only
- [Full reference](https://docs.jmrp.io/gitlab-mcp-server/llms-full.txt) (3.3 MB, ~875k tokens): the three per-surface splits above concatenated: every surface with every per-action JSON schema. Far beyond any context window, so fetch it only through search or retrieval
