What is frontmcp-setup?

A setup guide for starting or organizing a FrontMCP project, a Node-based server project that connects apps and tools through the Model Context Protocol. It covers project layouts, storage choices, and combining multiple apps.

Use it to create a new FrontMCP project, organize an existing one, choose between a standalone project and an Nx monorepo, configure Redis or SQLite storage, or combine several apps in one server.

It helps you choose a suitable project structure and setup path before writing application code. It also reduces confusion about where files, dependencies, and storage should go.

Skill attempts to fill the context window with filler content, displacing legitimate instructions and safety constraints. This can degrade agent performance or bypass safety boundaries.

Fix: Implement context-window management that detects and rejects padding or stuffing attempts. Prioritize system instructions over user-injected content.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00176	$0.03839
Opus 5.5	$0.00070	$0.01536
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00035	$0.00768
Haiku 4.5	$0.00018	$0.00384

Security

Grade A, and why

frontmcp-setup 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 8d 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.

FrontMCP Setup Router

Entry point for project setup and scaffolding. This skill helps you find the right setup guide based on your project needs — from initial scaffolding to storage backends, project structure, and multi-app composition.

When to Use This Skill

Must Use

Starting a new FrontMCP project from scratch and need to choose between standalone vs Nx monorepo
Setting up storage backends (Redis, SQLite) for session or state management
Organizing an existing project and need canonical directory layout guidance

Skip When

You need to build specific components like tools or resources (see frontmcp-development)
You need to configure transport, auth, or throttling (see frontmcp-config)
You need to deploy or build for a target platform (see frontmcp-deployment)

Decision: Use this skill when you need to CREATE or ORGANIZE a project. Use other routers when you need to build, configure, deploy, or test.

Prerequisites

Node.js 24+ and npm/yarn installed
frontmcp CLI available globally (npm install -g frontmcp)

Steps

Use the Scenario Routing Table below to find the right setup guide for your task
Scaffold your project with frontmcp create (standalone) or frontmcp create --nx (monorepo)
Configure storage and project structure per the relevant reference files
Follow the Recommended Reading Order for a complete setup walkthrough

Scenario Routing Table

Scenario	Reference	Description
Scaffold a new project with `frontmcp create`	`references/setup-project.md`	CLI scaffolder (flags: `--target`, `--redis`, `--skills <bundle>`, `--cicd`, `--nx`, `--pm`)
Organize a standalone (non-Nx) project	`references/project-structure-standalone.md`	File layout, naming conventions (`<name>.<type>.ts`), folder hierarchy
Organize an Nx monorepo	`references/project-structure-nx.md`	apps/, libs/, servers/ layout, generators, dependency rules
Set up Redis for production storage	`references/setup-redis.md`	Docker Redis, Vercel KV, pub/sub for distributed subscriptions (single-server uses in-memory)
Set up SQLite for local development	`references/setup-sqlite.md`	WAL mode, migration helpers, encryption
Compose multiple apps into one server	`references/multi-app-composition.md`	`@FrontMcp` with multiple `@App` classes, cross-app providers
Use Nx build, test, and CI commands	`references/nx-workflow.md`	`nx build`, `nx test`, `nx run-many`, caching, affected commands
Browse, install, and manage skills	`references/frontmcp-skills-usage.md`	CLI commands (search, list, install, read, export, publish), bundles, categories, bulk install
Generate or update project README.md	`references/readme-guide.md`	Deployment-target-aware README for npm, CLI, Docker, serverless

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.
