MR Creator

Create Merge Requests from multiple branches in one click — right inside VS Code.

GitLab · GitHub · Bitbucket — one extension, one license. Free to start, no sign-up in the editor.

code --install-extension alphaZ.mr-creator-ext

Or open it directly in VS Code. Already installed? Buy a license / start the 14-day free PRO trial.

Features

• Multi-source MR — create MRs from many branches in one click; exclude unready branches, the rest are processed automatically
• Connect multiple Git providers — GitLab, GitHub, Bitbucket (incl. self-hosted GitLab)
• Code Review in the editor — approve, comment, request changes without leaving VS Code (PRO)
• Auto-merge — awaits mergeability, then merges automatically; falls back to immediate merge when already mergeable
• Auto branch creation — missing target branches are created via API
• Templates — save and reuse MR configurations (title, description, repo, reviewers, assignee, auto-merge, branch removal)
• MR History — track all created merge requests, reuse them as templates
• Smart reviewer assignment — on conflicts, the MR is assigned to the author of the last commit
• Secure secrets — tokens and licenses live in the OS keychain / VS Code SecretStorage
• Honest offline license — ECDSA P-256 signatures verified locally; once a day the extension checks that your license wasn't revoked, with a 24/72 h grace period when the server is unreachable

Supported Git Providers

Missing a provider? Request it — we're tracking demand for Gerrit, Gitea, Azure DevOps and more.

Code Review in the Editor (PRO)

Review merge requests without opening a browser: tree of open MRs, inline comments, approve / request changes, diff navigation — all inside VS Code. The whole review loop lives in your editor, not in a tab.

Quick Start

1. Get a License

Run MR Creator: License Menu from the Command Palette, then Buy License — or jump straight to the Telegram bot and start the free trial.

2. Connect a Git Provider

Click + in the Providers panel or run MR Creator: Connect Git Provider, then paste a personal access token.

3. Create a Merge Request

• Run MR Creator: Create Merge Request from the Command Palette
• Or use the editor title bar buttons (when a git repo is open)
• Or right-click a provider in the sidebar and select Create MR for Provider

What's New

3.0.0 — honest offline licensing: the signature is still verified locally (ECDSA P-256), but once a day the extension now checks with the license server that your license wasn't refunded or revoked. If the server is unreachable, PRO keeps working for a 24‑hour grace period (72 h when the official server is down and the network is reachable), then pauses until the next successful check and resumes automatically — your key is never deleted. Corporate networks can whitelist license.mr-creator.ru (outbound TCP 443) and keep using the hosted license server; air-gapped teams can self-host a license container. 2.1.0 — Code Review: open the diff in the editor with file/folder tree, inline comment threads, and diff-editor Approve/Comment actions; own pull requests are clearly marked (Approve disabled on GitHub). 2.0.0 — platform architecture: single unified build, Code Review plugin, 500+ tests, shared provider SDK.

Commands

License

This extension requires a valid license key. Licenses are issued through the Telegram bot @mr_creator_license_bot.

• Free — start with a 14-day free PRO trial
• Buy License — purchase a new license
• Renew License — extend an active license
• Enter License — activate with an existing key

The license is stored securely in VS Code's SecretStorage. The signature is verified locally using ECDSA P-256, so the extension keeps working offline without sending your repo data anywhere. To close the refund/abuse loophole, once a day the extension sends one lightweight request to the license server to confirm your license wasn't revoked; without a connection PRO keeps working for a grace period (24 h, or 72 h when the official server is down but the network is up), then pauses and resumes automatically on the next successful check. Your key is never erased. On a corporate proxy just whitelist license.mr-creator.ru (outbound TCP 443).
