nuxt-graphql-client and nuxt-graphql-server in the same project

[rickroq]

First, thanks to Diizzayy for this great module!

I've just started a project which uses nuxt-graphql-client and nuxt-graphql-server in the same project. I want my project to have an externally available graphql api, and have my client use it as well.
This works great when deployed to production or locally when I have 2 instances of my project running (one dedicated to be the server with the client module disabled).
When trying to run both on the same project I get an error from the client saying it's finding an invalid graphql schema when it tries to connect to localhost:3000/api/graphql.

Error:
Failed to load schema from http://localhost:3000/api/graphql:

Unexpected response: "<title>Starting nuxt...

I think this is because the client is trying to connect before the server is running. Is there a way to delay the client connection by a few seconds or any ideas on what else to try?
