The Nx MCP Server is the Model Context Protocol server from the makers of Nx, shipped in the Nx Console repository and as the nx-mcp npm package. It gives an assistant access to the structure of an Nx monorepo: project relationships, file mappings, runnable tasks, ownership information, tech stacks, Nx generators and the Nx documentation. With that context an assistant can write code that fits the workspace, judge the impact of a change and edit connected files.
It runs locally over stdio with npx nx-mcp@latest, or as an HTTP server with the --sse and --port flags. The Nx Console editor extension can also manage it automatically in VS Code and Cursor. By default it runs in minimal mode, which hides the workspace analysis tools; the --no-minimal flag exposes them all. Settings can also be placed in .nx/nx-mcp-config.json in the workspace root.
When the workspace is connected to Nx Cloud, extra tools read CI pipeline executions and failed task output, and can apply or reject self-healing CI fixes. Recent CI pipeline executions are also offered as MCP resources. Without a workspace path, only the documentation and plugin listing tools are available.
