Cannot run `pnpm create @knip/config` in nx monorepo root

I was running pnpm create @knip/config in my nx monorepo root and the execution fails with the following error.

Node.js v18.17.0

It seems like pnpm add doesn't work in nx/pnpm workspace root unless -w flag is provided. Is there a way to run pnpm create @knip/config in monorepo root without errors?
