What is it?

Nx Console is the user interface for Nx and Lerna monorepos, delivered as an extension for VS Code and Cursor and as a plugin for JetBrains IDEs. It lets developers browse projects and their targets, run tasks, and explore the project and task graphs without leaving the editor.

The Generate UI parses the schema of any Nx generator and offers autocomplete, validation and dry-run previews. The Project Details View shows tasks and configuration for each project, and Nx Cloud integration shows CI pipeline status with notifications.

Nx Console also ships an MCP server for VS Code and Cursor, and an nx-mcp npm package can be installed separately. It supplies workspace architecture, generators and Nx documentation to AI chat tools.
