What is the Ndlovu MCP Server?

Manual code reviews are time-consuming and often miss the opportunity to combine static analysis with contextual, human-friendly feedback. This project was created

What it actually does

A Gemini-CLI (for now), powered code review assistant that runs as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.

Automates the busywork of gathering diffs and lint results from local, uncommitted changes
Streams that context into the Gemini CLI so the model can focus on actionable insights
Returns a structured JSON review that fits naturally into MCP-compatible clients

Configuration

Node.js 18 or later (ES modules and AbortSignals are used throughout). - npm (installed with Node.js). - Git (used to collect local diffs). - Google Gemini CLI (gemini) installed and authenticated. See the Gemini quickstart for setup instructions.
