Questions

What is the Nx Console MCP server?

Nx Console is the user interface for Nx & Lerna.

Is Nx Console safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it D (69/100) and found 2 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.

What credentials does Nx Console need?

It reads GH_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, NX_CLOUD_ACCESS_TOKEN and NX_CLOUD_AUTH_TOKEN from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does Nx Console run?

It speaks sse, stdio and streamable-http, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as nx-console at 17.28.3.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (3eb0dd6dd60c), read on 2026-09-24. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
