mcp-nixos connects your AI assistant to the Nix configuration system, providing real-time information on NixOS packages, options, Home Manager settings, and more. It allows searching for packages, checking system settings, finding software flakes, and reading documentation in plain text. The tool works on any system, including Windows, macOS, and Linux, and can be integrated via various methods such as uvx, Nix, Docker, or HTTP. This server aims to provide accurate data to AI assistants, reducing hallucinations and bloat. The tool supports querying over 130K+ NixOS packages, 23K+ system configuration options, and other Nix-related data sources like Home Manager, nix-darwin, and Nixvim. mcp-nixos consolidates 17 tools into two, minimizing token usage to around 1,030 tokens. The primary tool, 'nix', serves as a unified query tool for actions like searching, getting information, and browsing options. The tool can be run in different modes, including STDIO, HTTP, and remote MCP. It supports both stateful and stateless HTTP modes. For Pi Coding Agent integration, users can opt for the pi-mcp-adapter or a project-local extension. Overall, mcp-nixos provides a streamlined way for AI assistants to access NixOS data, enhancing their capabilities without adding significant overhead.
