Jan — the local-first assistant — configures MCP servers in its settings. Add Nika as a stdio server. The binary comes first: brew install supernovae-st/tap/nika (other paths). Wiring is manual — nika wire has no Jan target. The three fields, whichever form the settings take:
FieldValue
typestdio
commandnika
argsmcp
Equivalently, where Jan accepts the JSON form: 
{ "mcpServers": { "nika": { "command": "nika", "args": ["mcp"] } } }

​
A fully local pairing

Jan runs the model on your machine; Nika runs workflows on local models with the same sovereignty (ollama/…, no key, no meter) — see the local models guide. The oracle itself is read-only: validation, explanation, schema and cost answers, no execution (the contract).

​
Verify

Jan’s MCP server list shows nika with the eight nika_* tools. Then prove the loop end-to-end: integrate in 10 minutes.
