policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "gitlab_list_issue_note_emoji_reactions": {}
  }
}

gitlab_list_issue_note_emoji_reactions is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Gitlab — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
