TODO - Future Improvements

Usability

  • Progress reporting during indexing ("Fetching nixpkgs... Parsing options... Indexing files...")
  • Add search_files MCP tool - search for files by path pattern (e.g., find all nginx-related modules)
  • Include file size metadata in get_option declarations (byte size and/or line count) so clients know file sizes before fetching
  • Add range parameters to get_file (offset, limit) with sensible defaults (~200-300 lines) to avoid dumping massive files

Robustness

  • PostgreSQL integration tests with testcontainers (currently skipped without manual DB setup)
  • Graceful handling of concurrent indexing (what happens if two clients index the same revision?)

New MCP Servers

  • nixpkgs-packages - Index and search nixpkgs packages (similar architecture to nixos-options, but for packages instead of options)

Nice to Have

  • Option history/diff - compare options between two revisions ("what changed in services.nginx between 24.05 and 24.11?")
  • Auto-cleanup - prune old revisions after N days or keep only N most recent
  • Man page generation
  • Shell completions (bash, zsh, fish)
