simple gitbutler-mcp server binary

Instead of needing to set env vars and run a node server, this
implements a simple Rust compiled binary that has direct access to all
the GitButler apis. Should be possible to build this into a single
binary that can be run as an MCP server that doesn’t need anything else.

+# GitButler MCP
+
+A Model Context Protocol server implementation for GitButler that provides AI assistants with branch management capabilities.
+
+## Overview
+
+`gitbutler-mcp` is a Rust crate that implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for GitButler. It enables AI assistants to perform branch-related operations in GitButler repositories through standardized MCP interactions.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Branch Management**: Update branches with summaries and prompts
+- **MCP Compliance**: Fully implements the Model Context Protocol specification
+- **Tooling Integration**: Provides tools that can be used by AI assistants
+
+## Usage
+
+The MCP server can be integrated with AI assistants that support the Model Context Protocol. It exposes tools that allow these assistants to:
+
+- Update branches with contextual information
+- Process prompts and convert them into branch-specific actions
+
+## Tool Reference
+
+### `update_branch`
+
+Updates a GitButler branch with a given prompt and summary.
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `working_directory`: Path to the Git repository
+- `full_prompt`: Complete prompt that was used for the branch update
+- `summary`: Short description of the changes
+
+## Development
+
+To run the MCP server:
+
+```bash
+cargo run -p gitbutler-mcp
+```
+
+## Integration
+
+This MCP server can be integrated with any AI assistant that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) specification.
+
+## License
+
+Same as the GitButler project.
