## Home Manager Modules
The flake also exports reusable Home Manager modules:
```nix
home-manager.sharedModules = [
mcp-servers.homeManagerModules.mcp-gateway
mcp-servers.homeManagerModules.ssh-mcp
];
```
- `services.mcp-gateway` renders `gateway.yaml` from Nix options.
- `services.ssh-mcp.instances.<name>` renders per-instance `hosts.toml` and
`known_hosts` files and exposes a `gatewayBackend` helper.
See [docs/mcp-gateway.md](docs/mcp-gateway.md) and
[docs/ssh-mcp.md](docs/ssh-mcp.md).

# MCP Gateway Home Manager Module
`homeManagerModules.mcp-gateway` exposes `services.mcp-gateway` and renders
`~/.config/mcp-gateway/gateway.yaml` from Nix options.
## Import
```nix
home-manager.sharedModules = [
mcp-servers.homeManagerModules.mcp-gateway
];
```
## Minimal example
```nix
services.mcp-gateway = {
enable = true;
server = {
host = "100.64.0.19";
port = 39401;
};
environmentFile = "/run/secrets/rendered/mcp_gateway_env";
auth.apiKeys.dev = {
key = "env:DEV_GATEWAY_KEY";
backends = [ "nixos" "fetch" ];
};
backends = {
nixos.command = "${pkgs.mcp-nixos}/bin/mcp-nixos";
fetch.command = "${pkgs.mcp-server-fetch}/bin/mcp-server-fetch";
};
};
```
`services.mcp-gateway.url` is read-only and resolves to
`http://<server.host>:<server.port>/mcp`, for use by MCP clients.
## Backends
Backends are keyed by name and support:
- `command` for stdio backends, or `httpUrl` for HTTP backends
- `cwd`, `timeout`, `env`, `headers`
- `passthrough`, `allowCleartextCredentials`
- `resolveEnv = true` to wrap commands that read literal `${env.VAR}`
placeholders
- `extraConfig` for fields not modelled by the module
## API keys
API keys are keyed by client name. The key may use the gateway's `env:VAR`,
`keychain:NAME`, or `oauth:PROVIDER` indirection. Avoid literal secrets in the
Nix store.
## Routing profiles
`routingProfiles.<name>` supports `allowBackends`, `denyBackends`,
`allowTools`, and `denyTools`. Set `defaultRoutingProfile` to the profile used
when a session has not selected one.

# ssh-mcp Home Manager Module
`homeManagerModules.ssh-mcp` exposes `services.ssh-mcp.instances.<name>`.
Each instance renders its own SSH host policy and known_hosts file under
`~/.config/ssh-mcp/<instance>/`.
## Import
```nix
home-manager.sharedModules = [
mcp-servers.homeManagerModules.ssh-mcp
];
```
## Example
```nix
services.ssh-mcp.instances.admin = {
enable = true;
description = "Read-only systemd/journalctl over SSH";
defaults = {
user = "ai-agent";
port = 22;
platform = "linux";
persistentSession = false;
auth = {
method = "key";
key = "/run/secrets/ssh_ai_agent_key";
};
};
hosts = {
perlis.hostname = "100.64.0.4";
ravel.hostname = "100.64.0.19";
};
knownHosts = {
"100.64.0.4" = "ssh-ed25519 AAAA...";
"100.64.0.19" = "ssh-ed25519 AAAA...";
};
settings = {
enabledGroups = [ "host" "systemctl" ];
allowLowAccessTools = false;
allowDangerousTools = false;
allowSudo = false;
};
};
```
## Gateway integration
Each instance exposes `gatewayBackend`, a plain attrset shaped like a
`services.mcp-gateway.backends.<name>` entry:
```nix
services.mcp-gateway.backends = {
ssh-mcp = config.services.ssh-mcp.instances.admin.gatewayBackend;
ssh-mcp-media = config.services.ssh-mcp.instances.media.gatewayBackend;
};
```
Read-only paths are also available:
- `config.services.ssh-mcp.instances.<name>.hostsFile`
- `config.services.ssh-mcp.instances.<name>.knownHostsFile`
## Notes
- The default `package` is `pkgs.python-ssh-mcp`, so apply
`mcp-servers.overlays.default` on the host or set `package` explicitly.
- `SSH_ENABLED_GROUPS` is server-wide, not per-host. Run separate instances
when different catalogs are needed.
- Tier flags (`allowLowAccessTools`, `allowDangerousTools`, `allowSudo`) are
hard security gates. Group filters only change what is advertised.
- Empty path or command allowlists mean denied, not unrestricted.
