# Adding New Packages
## Directory Structure
```text
packages/
├── default.nix # Package aggregator
└── <package-name>/
└── package.nix # Package derivation
```
## StepbyStep Guide
1. **Create the package directory**
```bash
mkdir -p packages/<package-name>
```
2. **Create `package.nix`** using the appropriate builder for the language:
* Python (with pyproject.toml): `python3Packages.buildPythonApplication`
* Python (script only): wrapper approach with `stdenv.mkDerivation`
* Go: `buildGoModule`
* Node.js: `buildNpmPackage`
* Rust: `rustPlatform.buildRustPackage`
3. **Register** in `packages/default.nix`:
```nix
{ pkgs }:
{
manim-mcp-server = pkgs.callPackage ./manim-mcp-server/package.nix { };
# Add your new package here:
new-mcp-server = pkgs.callPackage ./new-mcp-server/package.nix { };
}
```
4. **Build and test**:
```bash
nix build .#<package-name>
./result/bin/<package-name>
```
## Package Templates
### Python (with `pyproject.toml`)
```nix
{ lib, python3Packages, fetchFromGitHub }:
python3Packages.buildPythonApplication rec {
pname = "example-mcp-server";
version = "1.0.0";
pyproject = true;
src = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "owner";
repo = "repo";
rev = "v${version}";
hash = "sha256-AAAA..."; # Use lib.fakeHash first, then update
};
build-system = [ python3Packages.hatchling ];
dependencies = with python3Packages; [
mcp
fastmcp
];
meta = with lib; {
description = "Description of the MCP server";
homepage = "https://github.com/owner/repo";
license = licenses.mit;
mainProgram = "example-mcp-server";
};
}
```
### Python (script only, like `manim-mcp-server`)
```nix
{ lib, stdenv, fetchFromGitHub, makeWrapper, python3 }:
let
python = python3.withPackages (ps: with ps; [
mcp
fastmcp
# other dependencies
]);
in
stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
pname = "example-mcp-server";
version = "0.0.1-unstable";
src = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "owner";
repo = "repo";
rev = "commit-hash";
hash = "sha256-AAAA...";
};
nativeBuildInputs = [ makeWrapper ];
dontBuild = true;
installPhase = ''
runHook preInstall
mkdir -p $out/bin $out/lib/${pname}
cp src/server.py $out/lib/${pname}/
makeWrapper ${python}/bin/python $out/bin/${pname} \
--add-flags "$out/lib/${pname}/server.py"
runHook postInstall
'';
meta = with lib; {
description = "Description";
homepage = "https://github.com/owner/repo";
license = licenses.mit;
mainProgram = pname;
};
}
```
### Go
```nix
{ lib, buildGoModule, fetchFromGitHub }:
buildGoModule rec {
pname = "example-mcp-server";
version = "1.0.0";
src = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "owner";
repo = "repo";
rev = "v${version}";
hash = "sha256-AAAA...";
};
vendorHash = "sha256-BBBB..."; # Use lib.fakeHash first
ldflags = [
"-s" "-w"
"-X main.version=${version}"
];
meta = with lib; {
description = "Description";
homepage = "https://github.com/owner/repo";
license = licenses.mit;
mainProgram = pname;
};
}
```
### Node.js (with `package-lock.json`)
```nix
{ lib, buildNpmPackage, fetchFromGitHub }:
buildNpmPackage rec {
pname = "example-mcp-server";
version = "1.0.0";
src = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "owner";
repo = "repo";
rev = "v${version}";
hash = "sha256-AAAA...";
};
npmDepsHash = "sha256-BBBB..."; # Use lib.fakeHash first
dontNpmBuild = true; # If pre-built or no build step needed
meta = with lib; {
description = "Description";
homepage = "https://github.com/owner/repo";
license = licenses.mit;
mainProgram = pname;
};
}
```
### Node.js (wrapper for npm packages without `package-lock.json`)
```nix
{ lib, stdenvNoCC, nodejs_22, makeWrapper }:
stdenvNoCC.mkDerivation rec {
pname = "example-mcp-server";
version = "1.0.0";
# No source needed - npx fetches the package
dontUnpack = true;
nativeBuildInputs = [ makeWrapper ];
installPhase = ''
runHook preInstall
mkdir -p $out/bin
makeWrapper ${nodejs_22}/bin/npx $out/bin/${pname} \
--add-flags "--yes" \
--add-flags "@scope/package-name@${version}"
runHook postInstall
'';
meta = with lib; {
description = "Description";
homepage = "https://github.com/owner/repo";
license = licenses.mit;
mainProgram = pname;
};
}
```
## Calculating Hashes
When adding a new package, use `lib.fakeHash` initially:
```nix
hash = lib.fakeHash;
```
Then run `nix build` and copy the correct hash from the error message.
