MCP-NixOS - Because Your AI Shouldn't Hallucinate Package Names
Quick Start
🚨 No Nix/NixOS Required! Works on any system - Windows, macOS, Linux. You're just querying APIs.
Option 1: uvx (Recommended)
{
"mcpServers": {
"nixos": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-nixos"]
}
}
}Option 2: Nix
{
"mcpServers": {
"nixos": {
"command": "nix",
"args": ["run", "github:utensils/mcp-nixos", "--"]
}
}
}Option 3: Docker
{
"mcpServers": {
"nixos": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["run", "--rm", "-i", "ghcr.io/utensils/mcp-nixos"]
}
}
}Your AI now has access to real NixOS data instead of making things up. You're welcome.
Option 4: HTTP (Remote MCP)
FastMCP supports running this server over HTTP at a URL (the MCP endpoint defaults to /mcp).
# Run an HTTP MCP server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp
MCP_NIXOS_TRANSPORT=http MCP_NIXOS_HOST=127.0.0.1 MCP_NIXOS_PORT=8000 mcp-nixos
