Creating a barebones MCP server around python (plus uv), encapsulated in a nix flake

3 stars NixServers & Infrastructure Updated Aug 24, 2025

Documentation

MCP server in Python

also nixified in uv

This project is derived from the template at

shell
nix flake init --template "github:nulladmin1/nix-flake-templates#uv"

And I am very thankful he figured out making python happy with nix.

To add to your Claude config:

code
"minimal-mcp-in-nix": {
  "command": "nix",
  "args": [
    "run",
    "github:mccartykim/minimal-mcp-in-nix",
  ]
}

This is a very simple MPC demo that offers a stub location that just says where I'm presenting my demo for the time being, plus a tool to get the current time.
