Nx workspace scaffolding fails in create command: Cannot find package 'nx'

[alexmercerpo]

Summary

Running the FrontMCP create command with --nx fails during Nx workspace scaffolding because the package nx cannot be found.

Reproduction

Command used:

alexmercerpo@alexmercerpo git % npx frontmcp@1.0.0-beta.1 create my-workspace --nx

Actual behavior

The command fails with:

Failed to scaffold Nx workspace: Cannot find package 'nx' imported from /Users/alexmercerpo/.npm/_npx/e89a88f7af22de5f/node_modules/frontmcp/src/commands/scaffold/create.js

Expected behavior

When using --nx, the CLI should successfully scaffold an Nx workspace, or at least install/resolve the required Nx dependency automatically before trying to use it.

Notes

It looks like the create flow assumes nx is already available, but when running through npx frontmcp@1.0.0-beta.1 ..., nx is not present in that execution context.

Possibly related to how create.js imports or resolves nx during scaffolding.

Version

• frontmcp@1.0.0-beta.1
