Could you build this?
Partial While wrapping CLIs in an MCP server is straightforward, integrating high-performance in-process Git operations via Rust's gitoxide requires low-level systems programming and deep Git internals knowledge.
What it would actually take: The service requires a Rust or TypeScript backend implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) spec over stdio or SSE. Integrating gitoxide requires native Rust bindings and memory management for parsing Git objects directly on disk, alongside robust subprocess management and error normalization for external forge CLIs (gh, glab, tea).
