This walkthrough takes you from an empty directory to a running multi-app MCP server inside an Nx monorepo.
Create the workspace
npx frontmcp create my-platform --nx
cd my-platform
Generate an app
nx g @frontmcp/nx:app crm
apps/crm/ with a main entry point, app class, and sample tool.Add a tool
nx g @frontmcp/nx:tool fetch-contacts --project crm
apps/crm/src/tools/fetch-contacts.tool.ts — edit the execute() method to add your logic.Generate a shared library
nx g @frontmcp/nx:lib shared-utils
libs/shared-utils/ — use it for code shared across apps.Generate a server
nx g @frontmcp/nx:server production --apps crm --deploymentTarget node
servers/production/ with a Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, and an entry point that composes the CRM app.Start development
Starts the CRM app in development mode with hot-reload. Build for production
Compiles the production server to servers/production/dist/. Run tests
Runs E2E tests for the CRM app using @frontmcp/testing. Your monorepo is ready! Add more apps, tools, and libraries as your platform grows.
