nixfredFLOXFIELD GUIDE · BY NIX UNOFFICIAL
TOOLS / MCP SERVER

Use this guide in your own agent

This site runs a read-only MCP server over streamable HTTP. It fetches Flox's docs live from llms.txt and each page's .md version, keeps them in memory for about 10 minutes, and serves this guide's own pages too. No tool writes anything, and no LLM or API key is involved.

This server only reads documentation. It does not run Flox commands or touch your machine. For agents that need to operate Flox itself, see the Flox agent skills described on the agents page.
