It includes an admin UI, user management, and Single-Sign-On, supporting a wide array of models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Llama.; mcp-nixos: MCP-NixOS is an MCP server that provides real-time, accurate information about NixOS packages, options, Home Manager, nix-darwin, and more. It works on any system without requiring Nix, using just two tools to query multiple sources.
