directory	string	libs/<name>	The directory of the library
libType	generic | plugin | adapter | tool-register	generic	The type of library to generate
publishable	boolean	false	Generate a publishable library with package.json
importPath	string	—	The npm scope/import path (required for publishable)
tags	string	—	Comma-separated tags for the project

Library Types

Generic (default)

A plain TypeScript library with a class and barrel export:

nx g @frontmcp/nx:lib shared-utils --libType generic

libs/shared-utils/src/
├── shared-utils.ts    # Sample class
└── index.ts           # Barrel export

Plugin

A FrontMCP plugin library extending DynamicPlugin:

nx g @frontmcp/nx:lib my-plugin --libType plugin

libs/my-plugin/src/
├── my-plugin.plugin.ts  # @Plugin class
└── index.ts

Adapter

A FrontMCP adapter library extending DynamicAdapter:

nx g @frontmcp/nx:lib my-adapter --libType adapter

libs/my-adapter/src/
├── my-adapter.adapter.ts  # @Adapter class
└── index.ts

Tool Register

A multi-tool library that exports an array of tools:

nx g @frontmcp/nx:lib github-tools --libType tool-register

libs/github-tools/src/
├── github-tools.tools.ts  # Tool classes + exported array
└── index.ts

Usage in an app:

import { GithubToolsTools } from '@libs/github-tools';

@App({
  id: 'my-app',
  tools: [...GithubToolsTools, ...OtherTools],
})
class MyApp {}

Publishable Libraries

Generate a library with a package.json for npm publishing:

nx g @frontmcp/nx:lib my-plugin --libType plugin --publishable --importPath @my-org/plugin-cache
