What is the primary benefit of using nx-mcp with Claude?

It provides Claude with a standardized way to query your Nx workspace structure, making it much better at understanding project dependencies and workspace-specific commands.

What is the difference between project and user scope?

Project scope saves configuration to a .mcp.json file in your repo (shareable via Git), while user scope is global to your local machine.

What are CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md files?

These are specialized documentation files that provide Claude with instructions and context about your specific codebase, coding standards, and available AI agents.

Does this skill require an existing Nx project?

Yes, the skill checks for the existence of an nx.json file and will only proceed if it detects a valid Nx workspace.
