chisel MCP server](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/@ckanthony/chisel/badges/score.svg)](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/@ckanthony/chisel) 🦀 🏠 🍎 🐧 ☁️ - Reduce context usage on file use. Send only unified diffs instead of full files (up to 20-100× fewer tokens), and read large files with targeted grep/sed instead of full reads (up to 500×). Kernel-enforced path confinement hard-locks the agent to a configured root: no accidental reads or writes outside scope. Standalone for your file access or embed in any MCP server (Rust, Node.js, Python via WASM).
Getting started
