Implement n8n-MCP integration

This commit adds a complete integration between n8n workflow automation and the Model Context Protocol (MCP):

Features:
- MCP server that exposes n8n workflows as tools, resources, and prompts
- Custom n8n node for connecting to MCP servers from workflows
- Bidirectional bridge for data format conversion
- Token-based authentication and credential management
- Comprehensive error handling and logging
- Full test coverage for core components

Infrastructure:
- TypeScript/Node.js project setup with proper build configuration
- Docker support with multi-stage builds
- Development and production docker-compose configurations
- Installation script for n8n custom node deployment

Documentation:
- Detailed README with usage examples and API reference
- Environment configuration templates
- Troubleshooting guide
