Active·★ 16·MIT·Updated 2026-10-16

`nix-agent` is a local MCP (Multi-Agent Communication Protocol) server that provides AI agents with a comprehensive set of composable NixOS operations, including evaluation, linting, formatting, building, diffing, and system switching. It integrates with `mcp-nixos` for package and option discovery, enabling AI agents to programmatically manage and automate NixOS configurations.
