nx-mcp

nx-mcp is an MCP server for Cursor from TanStack/devtools. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

An MCP server for Nx, a tool for managing JavaScript and TypeScript workspaces. It lets an agent inspect the project graph, find code generators, and run tasks in an Nx monorepo, which is one repository containing multiple related projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to understand an Nx workspace, look up generators, and run its configured tasks through a local server.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a structured view of project relationships and available workspace tasks instead of requiring it to discover them manually.

Security

Grade A, and why

nx-mcp scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
