What is MCP-NixOS?
MCP-NixOS is a server implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide precise, real-time data about NixOS resources, including packages, system options, Home Manager configurations, and nix-darwin settings. It interacts with Elasticsearch to search and retrieve detailed metadata, aiding AI models in delivering accurate OS-specific information. Its architecture supports multiple channels, detailed resource parsing, and rich search capabilities, ensuring AI-powered tools can reliably access NixOS data without hallucinating or providing outdated info. It also caches responses for offline access and performance improvements, making it ideal for developers, system administrators, and AI integrations requiring dependable NixOS resource data.
