Nx
Monorepo build system with MCP server and AI self-healing CI.
About
Nx is the smart monorepo build system and CI platform from Nrwl, used widely across Angular, React, Next.js, and Node ecosystems. Beyond fast task orchestration, affected-only execution, and distributed caching, Nx has leaned into AI-assisted development with an official MCP server that exposes the workspace graph, generators, and docs to AI agents.
Nx Cloud adds AI-powered Self-Healing CI, which detects failed tasks, proposes fixes as pull request suggestions, and retries flaky tests. Recent releases also generate AI agent context files on workspace init, making Nx one of the most agent-ready build systems in the JavaScript ecosystem.
What it can do
