But when trying to install it it behaves like it is non existant, not just in my configuration:

nix registry list?

And also, if you build your system from a flake, what’s your nixpkgs there?

There are three Methode that dont work

  1. is using nixpkgs/unstable als flake input
  2. is nix shell nixpkgs#markitdown-mcp which uses nixpkgs/master?
  3. is nix-shell -p propably irrelevant

What exactly does nixpkgs/unstable mean? An unstable branch does not exist

No, it uses whatever your registry points to, that’s why I asked for it.

Usually just resolves to the same thing as your flake registries nixpkgs.

I see the error. I was using the wrong branch as nixpkgs-unstable input. It should have been nixos-unstable all along
