netlify-frameworks-nuxt

Deployment guidance for running Nuxt 3 web applications on Netlify, a hosting platform. It explains how Nuxt’s Nitro system creates the server and edge functions Netlify needs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when configuring a Nuxt project for Netlify, including server API routes, server-rendered pages, and public or server-only environment variables.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork about adapters, build settings, server routes, and environment variables when deploying Nuxt to Netlify.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

netlify-frameworks-nuxt 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 2d ago.

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 it actually says

Nuxt on Netlify

Nuxt 3 is built on Nitro, which has first-class Netlify support. No Netlify adapter or module install is required. When you build on Netlify, Nitro auto-detects the platform and selects its netlify preset, emitting Netlify Functions and Edge Functions for SSR and server routes. You do not add an adapter to nuxt.config the way you would with some other frameworks, and there is no separate Netlify adapter package to install.

Setup

Deploy a standard Nuxt project as-is — Netlify auto-detects Nuxt and configures the build (typically nuxt build). You generally do not need to set the publish directory manually; the Nitro netlify preset writes the static assets and functions where Netlify expects them.

# netlify.toml (optional — Netlify auto-detects Nuxt)
[build]
command = "nuxt build"

Server Routes

Nuxt server routes under server/api/ and server/routes/ are compiled into Netlify Functions by Nitro automatically. Do not hand-author raw Netlify Functions under netlify/functions/ for them.

Environment Variables

Client-exposed values use the NUXT_PUBLIC_ prefix and are read via useRuntimeConfig().public. Server-only values are read via useRuntimeConfig() (private keys) or standard runtime env access. As with any framework, client-exposed values are baked in at build time, so changing them requires a redeploy.

Local Development

npm run dev    # nuxt dev

For Netlify platform primitives (Blobs, DB, env vars) during local dev, use netlify dev.

Changes

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.

netlify-frameworks-nuxt is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository netlify/context-and-tools (36 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 392 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
