Build Exec Executor - AgentFront

Builds a distributable executable bundle using esbuild. Produces a single-file output ideal for containerized deployments.

Usage

nx build-exec my-app

Configuration

project.json

{
  "targets": {
    "build-exec": {
      "executor": "@frontmcp/nx:build-exec",
      "outputs": ["{projectRoot}/dist"],
      "options": {
        "entry": "{projectRoot}/src/main.ts",
        "outputPath": "{projectRoot}/dist"
      }
    }
  }
}

Options

Option	Type	Description
`entry`	`string`	Entry file path
`outputPath`	`string`	Output directory path

Output Files

Output	Description
`dist/{name}-server.cjs`	Single-file MCP server bundle
`dist/{name}-runner.sh`	Shell runner with env/port setup

Caching

This executor is cacheable. The bundled output is deterministic given the same inputs. Generated projects set "cache": true on the target, and nx add @frontmcp/nx registers it in nx.json targetDefaults. It runs the frontmcp CLI installed in your workspace and never downloads one with npx.
