MCP-NixOS
An MCP server that provides AI assistants with accurate, real-time access to NixOS packages, options, documentation, and community resources.
What is MCP-NixOS?
MCP-NixOS is a Model Context Protocol server that provides AI assistants and development tools with accurate, real-time access to the Nix and NixOS ecosystem. It solves the problem of AI hallucinations by querying official sources like search.nixos.org, FlakeHub, Noogle, and the NixOS Wiki to deliver precise information about packages, configuration options, and documentation.
Developers and system administrators using Nix/NixOS who integrate AI assistants (like those in Cursor) into their workflow, and anyone who needs reliable, programmatic access to Nix ecosystem data without installing Nix locally.
Developers choose MCP-NixOS because it consolidates access to over 17 Nix data sources into two minimal tools, drastically reducing AI context window usage while providing comprehensive, accurate information. It works on any system without requiring a local Nix installation.
