The whole AI toolkit, in one flake. nix run and go.
nix-ai is the package and config layer for everything AI-coding-related. It packages CLIs that don’t yet have first-party Nix derivations, pins MCP server versions, and exports overlays the rest of the Nix stack consumes.

​
What it does

  • Packages Claude Code, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, and assorted AI tooling
  • Provides MLX module derivations for Apple Silicon
  • Pins 15+ MCP servers and exposes them as reusable Nix attributes
  • Exports an overlay so nix-darwin and nix-home can include AI tools without duplicating logic
  • Includes a shell module (devShells.default) for “just give me an AI sandbox” workflows

​
How it fits

​
Getting started

1

Try a single tool

nix run github:JacobPEvans/nix-ai#claude-code -- --help. No clone needed.
2

Enter the sandbox shell

nix develop github:JacobPEvans/nix-ai drops you into a shell with every AI CLI on PATH.
3

Import into nix-darwin

Add nix-ai as a flake input, then include nix-ai.overlays.default in your nixpkgs config. The README has the boilerplate.

ai-assistant-instructions

The rules layer. nix-ai packages the tools; this configures them.

claude-code-plugins

Extension layer on top of the packaged Claude Code CLI.

nix-darwin

The system-level consumer.
