While work on the varlink-http-bridge for systemd I had this idea that a lot of the tech could be used to build an #MCP for systemd via #varlink. So here it it is: https://github.com/mvo5/systemd-mcp - it auto-discovers systemd's varlink sockets, introspects the IDL, and exposes every method as a typed tool. On a typical system that's 50-80+ tools: units, journals, credentials, factory reset, you name it. What could possibly go wrong :) ? (requires systemd v260+)

Some cool news about the rust based varlink-http-bridge - its now under the systemd org and @zeenix ported it to zlink in https://github.com/systemd/varlink-http-bridge/pull/7 - many thanks!

I'm exicted to see more rust usage in the systemd org and hope it will keep growing. Help (especially from experienced rust developers) with the varlink-http-bridge is of course always welcome!

Today I'm super excited to announce Amutable, our new company together with @pid_eins and @blixtra.
I couldn't be happier to have @cyphar, @daandemeyer, @zbyszek, @pothos, @michaelvogt,
@rodrigo_rata, @davidstrauss as part of our team.
I've known them for a very long time and I'm very happy they are on board for the ride.
I can't wait to show everyone what we're building.
Made with ❤️ in Berlin.

Right on time to coincide with the end of the year I finished my #systemd259 series of posts. And I now also prepped a blog story linking to every single one of them here:

Make sure to stay tuned for the #systemd260 series, most likely starting already in a few weeks!

Also, happy new year! 🎇

Ringing in 2026, I'm thrilled to join @amutable with @brauner, @blixtra, and @pid_eins — alongside a wildly talented founding engineering team — to redefine what we expect for infrastructure integrity, declarative systems, compliance, and trust. Today's approaches are tedious and uncertain; it's time for something better.
