+## Create MR Pipeline
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/31722) in Gitlab 12.3.
+
+Create a new [pipeline for a merge request](../ci/merge_request_pipelines/index.md). A pipeline created via this endpoint will not run a regular branch/tag pipeline, it requires `.gitlab-ci.yml` to be configured with `only: [merge_requests]` to create jobs.
+
+The new pipeline can be:
+
+- A detached merge request pipeline.
+- A [pipeline for merged results](../ci/merge_request_pipelines/pipelines_for_merged_results/index.md)
+  if the [project setting is enabled](../ci/merge_request_pipelines/pipelines_for_merged_results/index.md#enabling-pipelines-for-merged-results).
+
+```
+POST /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/pipelines
+```
+
+Parameters:
+
+- `id` (required) - The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding)
+- `merge_request_iid` (required) - The internal ID of the merge request
+
