Changes

This PR removes obsolete GitLab MCP components after migrating to @zereight/mcp-gitlab:

  • Removed custom GitLab MCP authentication script (utils/setup-gitlab-mcp-auth.sh)
  • Updated setup.sh to remove references to old auth script
  • Updated local troubleshooting documentation (not included in PR - stays in gitignored flywire-notes/)

Why

Following the Subtraction Creates Value principle, this PR removes technical debt that's no longer needed after switching to the external GitLab MCP server implementation. This simplifies our codebase and reduces maintenance burden.

Architecture Changes

Before:

  • Custom authentication script using glab CLI
  • Complex authentication chain with multiple points of failure
  • References to old implementation in setup script

After:

  • Direct authentication via GITLAB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable
  • Simplified architecture using external package
  • Updated documentation reflecting current implementation (kept private in flywire-notes/)

Testing

  • Verified GitLab MCP functionality still works with external package
  • Confirmed setup script runs without errors
  • Updated local documentation with current authentication instructions

Removed obsolete GitLab MCP components after migrating to @zereight/mcp-gitlab:
- Removed custom GitLab MCP authentication script
- Updated setup.sh to remove references to old auth script
- Updated troubleshooting documentation to reflect current implementation
