Installation

Prerequisites

Node.js 22+ (24 recommended)
npm 10+ (or yarn/pnpm)

Option A: New Monorepo

Scaffold a complete FrontMCP Nx workspace from scratch:

npx frontmcp create my-workspace --nx

This creates:

Nx workspace with nx.json configuration
apps/, libs/, servers/ directory structure
@frontmcp/sdk, @frontmcp/cli, @frontmcp/nx pre-installed
Sample application (optional)
TypeScript, Jest, ESLint pre-configured

Package Manager

Choose your package manager during creation:

npx frontmcp create my-workspace --nx --pm yarn
npx frontmcp create my-workspace --nx --pm pnpm
npx frontmcp create my-workspace --nx --pm npm   # default

Option B: Existing Nx Workspace

Add @frontmcp/nx to an existing Nx workspace:

npm install -D @frontmcp/nx @frontmcp/sdk @frontmcp/cli @frontmcp/testing

yarn add -D @frontmcp/nx @frontmcp/sdk @frontmcp/cli @frontmcp/testing

pnpm add -D @frontmcp/nx @frontmcp/sdk @frontmcp/cli @frontmcp/testing

Ensure your tsconfig.base.json includes decorator support:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "target": "es2022",
    "module": "esnext",
    "strict": true
  }
}
