Quick Start

🚨 No Nix/NixOS Required! Works on any system - Windows, macOS, Linux. You're just querying APIs.

Option 1: uvx (Recommended)

[](https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=nixos&config=eyJjb21tYW5kIjoidXZ4IG1jcC1uaXhvcyJ9)

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nixos": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-nixos"]
    }
  }
}

Option 2: Nix

[](https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=nixos&config=eyJjb21tYW5kIjoibml4IHJ1biBnaXRodWI6dXRlbnNpbHMvbWNwLW5peG9zIC0tIn0%3D)

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nixos": {
      "command": "nix",
      "args": ["run", "github:utensils/mcp-nixos", "--"]
    }
  }
}

Option 3: Docker

[](https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=nixos&config=eyJjb21tYW5kIjoiZG9ja2VyIiwiYXJncyI6WyJydW4iLCItLXJtIiwiLWkiLCJnaGNyLmlvL3V0ZW5zaWxzL21jcC1uaXhvcyJdfQ%3D%3D)

json

{
  "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).

bash

# 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

STDIO (default):

bash

MCP_NIXOS_TRANSPORT=stdio mcp-nixos

Custom path:

bash

MCP_NIXOS_TRANSPORT=http MCP_NIXOS_PATH=/api/mcp mcp-nixos

Stateless HTTP (disables per-client session state):

bash

MCP_NIXOS_TRANSPORT=http MCP_NIXOS_STATELESS_HTTP=1 mcp-nixos
