+
+## High-Level Architecture
+
+### Core Components
+
+1. **MCP Server** (`mcp/server.ts`)
+   - Implements Model Context Protocol for AI assistants
+   - Provides tools for searching, validating, and managing n8n nodes
+   - Supports both stdio (Claude Desktop) and HTTP modes
+
+2. **Database Layer** (`database/`)
+   - SQLite database storing all n8n node information
+   - Universal adapter pattern supporting both better-sqlite3 and sql.js
+   - Full-text search capabilities with FTS5
+
+3. **Node Processing Pipeline**
+   - **Loader** (`loaders/node-loader.ts`): Loads nodes from n8n packages
+   - **Parser** (`parsers/node-parser.ts`): Extracts node metadata and structure
+   - **Property Extractor** (`parsers/property-extractor.ts`): Deep property analysis
+   - **Docs Mapper** (`mappers/docs-mapper.ts`): Maps external documentation
+
+4. **Service Layer** (`services/`)
+   - **Property Filter**: Reduces node properties to AI-friendly essentials
+   - **Config Validator**: Multi-profile validation system
+   - **Expression Validator**: Validates n8n expression syntax
+   - **Workflow Validator**: Complete workflow structure validation
+
+5. **Template System** (`templates/`)
+   - Fetches and stores workflow templates from n8n.io
+   - Provides pre-built workflow examples
+   - Supports template search and validation
+
+### Key Design Patterns
+
+1. **Repository Pattern**: All database operations go through repository classes
+2. **Service Layer**: Business logic separated from data access
+3. **Validation Profiles**: Different validation strictness levels (minimal, runtime, ai-friendly, strict)
+4. **Diff-Based Updates**: Efficient workflow updates using operation diffs
+
+### MCP Tools Architecture
+
+The MCP server exposes tools in several categories:
+
+1. **Discovery Tools**: Finding and exploring nodes
+2. **Configuration Tools**: Getting node details and examples
+3. **Validation Tools**: Validating configurations before deployment
+4. **Workflow Tools**: Complete workflow validation
+5. **Management Tools**: Creating and updating workflows (requires API config)
 
 ## Memories and Notes for Development
 
 ### Development Workflow Reminders
 - When you make changes to MCP server, you need to ask the user to reload it before you test
 - When the user asks to review issues, you should use GH CLI to get the issue and all the comments
+- When the task can be divided into separated subtasks, you should spawn separate sub-agents to handle them in parallel
+- Use the best sub-agent for the task as per their descriptions
+
+### Testing Best Practices
+- Always run `npm run build` before testing changes
+- Use `npm run dev` to rebuild database after package updates
+- Check coverage with `npm run test:coverage`
+- Integration tests require a clean database state
+
+### Common Pitfalls
+- The MCP server needs to be reloaded in Claude Desktop after changes
+- HTTP mode requires proper CORS and auth token configuration
+- Database rebuilds can take 2-3 minutes due to n8n package size
+- Always validate workflows before deployment to n8n
+
+### Performance Considerations
+- Use `get_node_essentials()` instead of `get_node_info()` for faster responses
+- Batch validation operations when possible
+- The diff-based update system saves 80-90% tokens on workflow updates
+
+# important-instruction-reminders
+Do what has been asked; nothing more, nothing less.
+NEVER create files unless they're absolutely necessary for achieving your goal.
+ALWAYS prefer editing an existing file to creating a new one.
+NEVER proactively create documentation files (*.md) or README files. Only create documentation files if explicitly requested by the User.

 ## Mock Strategy
 
-### 1. Database Mocking
+### 1. Mock Service Worker (MSW) for API Mocking
+
+We use MSW for intercepting and mocking HTTP requests:
 
 ```typescript
-// tests/unit/database/__mocks__/better-sqlite3.ts
-import { vi } from 'vitest';
+// tests/mocks/n8n-api/handlers.ts
+import { http, HttpResponse } from 'msw';
 
-export class Database {
-  private data = new Map<string, any[]>();
-  
-  prepare = vi.fn((sql: string) => ({
-    all: vi.fn(() => this.data.get('nodes') || []),
-    get: vi.fn((params) => this.data.get('nodes')?.find(n => n.id === params.id)),
-    run: vi.fn(),
-    finalize: vi.fn()
-  }));
-  
-  exec = vi.fn();
-  close = vi.fn();
-  
-  // Test helper to set mock data
-  setMockData(table: string, data: any[]) {
-    this.data.set(table, data);
-  }
-}
-
-export default vi.fn(() => new Database());
-```
-
-### 2. n8n Package Mocking
-
-```typescript
-// tests/unit/loaders/__mocks__/n8n-nodes-base.ts
-import { vi } from 'vitest';
-import { readFileSync } from 'fs';
-import { join } from 'path';
-
-// Load real node definitions for testing
-const mockNodes = JSON.parse(
-  readFileSync(join(__dirname, '../../fixtures/nodes/mock-nodes.json'), 'utf8')
-);
-
-export const loadClassInIsolation = vi.fn((filePath: string) => {
-  const nodeName = filePath.split('/').pop()?.replace('.node.js', '');
-  return mockNodes[nodeName] || { description: { properties: [] } };
-});
-
-export const NodeHelpers = {
-  getVersionedNodeTypeAll: vi.fn(() => [])
-};
-```
-
-### 3. External API Mocking
-
-```typescript
-// tests/utils/mocks/axios.ts
-import { vi } from 'vitest';
-import type { AxiosRequestConfig } from 'axios';
-
-export const createAxiosMock = () => {
-  const mock = {
-    get: vi.fn(),
-    post: vi.fn(),
-    put: vi.fn(),
-    delete: vi.fn(),
-    create: vi.fn(() => mock)
-  };
-  
-  // Default responses
-  mock.get.mockResolvedValue({ data: { success: true } });
-  mock.post.mockResolvedValue({ data: { id: '123' } });
-  
-  return mock;
-};
-```
-
-## Test Data Management
-
-### 1. Factory Pattern
-
-```typescript
-// tests/fixtures/factories/node.factory.ts
-import { Factory } from 'fishery';
-import type { INodeType } from 'n8n-workflow';
-
-export const nodeFactory = Factory.define<INodeType>(({ sequence }) => ({
-  name: `TestNode${sequence}`,
-  displayName: `Test Node ${sequence}`,
-  group: ['test'],
-  version: 1,
-  description: 'Test node for unit tests',
-  defaults: {
-    name: `Test Node ${sequence}`,
-  },
-  inputs: ['main'],
-  outputs: ['main'],
-  properties: [
-    {
-      displayName: 'Test Property',
-      name: 'testProp',
-      type: 'string',
-      default: '',
+export const handlers = [
+  // Workflow endpoints
+  http.get('*/workflows/:id', ({ params }) => {
+    const workflow = mockWorkflows.find(w => w.id === params.id);
+    if (!workflow) {
+      return new HttpResponse(null, { status: 404 });
     }
-  ]
-}));
+    return HttpResponse.json(workflow);
+  }),
 
-// Usage in tests:
-const httpNode = nodeFactory.build({
-  name: 'HttpRequest',
-  properties: [/* custom properties */]
-});
+  // Execution endpoints
+  http.post('*/workflows/:id/run', async ({ params, request }) => {
+    const body = await request.json();
+    return HttpResponse.json({
+      executionId: generateExecutionId(),
+      status: 'running'
+    });
+  })
+];
 ```
 
-### 2. Builder Pattern
+### 2. Database Mocking
+
+For unit tests, we mock the database layer:
 
 ```typescript
-// tests/utils/builders/workflow.builder.ts
-export class WorkflowBuilder {
-  private workflow = {
-    name: 'Test Workflow',
-    nodes: [],
-    connections: {},
-    settings: {}
-  };
+// tests/unit/__mocks__/better-sqlite3.ts
+import { vi } from 'vitest';
+
+export default vi.fn(() => ({
+  prepare: vi.fn(() => ({
+    all: vi.fn().mockReturnValue([]),
+    get: vi.fn().mockReturnValue(undefined),
+    run: vi.fn().mockReturnValue({ changes: 1 }),
+    finalize: vi.fn()
+  })),
+  exec: vi.fn(),
+  close: vi.fn(),
+  pragma: vi.fn()
+}));
+```
+
+### 3. MCP SDK Mocking
+
+For testing MCP protocol interactions:
+
+```typescript
+// tests/integration/mcp-protocol/test-helpers.ts
+export class TestableN8NMCPServer extends N8NMCPServer {
+  private transports = new Set<Transport>();
   
-  withName(name: string) {
-    this.workflow.name = name;
-    return this;
+  async connectToTransport(transport: Transport): Promise<void> {
+    this.transports.add(transport);
+    await this.connect(transport);
   }
   
-  addNode(node: any) {
-    this.workflow.nodes.push(node);
-    return this;
-  }
-  
-  connect(from: string, to: string) {
-    this.workflow.connections[from] = {
-      main: [[{ node: to, type: 'main', index: 0 }]]
-    };
-    return this;
-  }
-  
-  build() {
-    return this.workflow;
+  async close(): Promise<void> {
+    for (const transport of this.transports) {
+      await transport.close();
+    }
+    this.transports.clear();
   }
 }
 ```
 
-## CI/CD Pipeline (GitHub Actions)
+## Test Patterns and Utilities
+
+### 1. Database Test Utilities
+
+```typescript
+// tests/utils/database-utils.ts
+export class TestDatabase {
+  constructor(options: TestDatabaseOptions = {}) {
+    this.options = {
+      mode: 'memory',
+      enableFTS5: true,
+      ...options
+    };
+  }
+
+  async initialize(): Promise<Database.Database> {
+    const db = this.options.mode === 'memory' 
+      ? new Database(':memory:') 
+      : new Database(this.dbPath);
+    
+    if (this.options.enableFTS5) {
+      await this.enableFTS5(db);
+    }
+    
+    return db;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Data Generators
+
+```typescript
+// tests/utils/data-generators.ts
+export class TestDataGenerator {
+  static generateNode(overrides: Partial<ParsedNode> = {}): ParsedNode {
+    return {
+      nodeType: `test.node${faker.number.int()}`,
+      displayName: faker.commerce.productName(),
+      description: faker.lorem.sentence(),
+      properties: this.generateProperties(5),
+      ...overrides
+    };
+  }
+
+  static generateWorkflow(nodeCount = 3): any {
+    const nodes = Array.from({ length: nodeCount }, (_, i) => ({
+      id: `node_${i}`,
+      type: 'test.node',
+      position: [i * 100, 0],
+      parameters: {}
+    }));
+    
+    return { nodes, connections: {} };
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Custom Assertions
+
+```typescript
+// tests/utils/assertions.ts
+export function expectValidMCPResponse(response: any): void {
+  expect(response).toBeDefined();
+  expect(response.content).toBeDefined();
+  expect(Array.isArray(response.content)).toBe(true);
+  expect(response.content[0]).toHaveProperty('type', 'text');
+  expect(response.content[0]).toHaveProperty('text');
+}
+
+export function expectNodeStructure(node: any): void {
+  expect(node).toHaveProperty('nodeType');
+  expect(node).toHaveProperty('displayName');
+  expect(node).toHaveProperty('properties');
+  expect(Array.isArray(node.properties)).toBe(true);
+}
+```
+
+## Unit Testing
+
+Our unit tests focus on testing individual components in isolation with mocked dependencies:
+
+### Service Layer Tests
+
+The bulk of our unit tests (400+ tests) are in the services layer:
+
+```typescript
+// tests/unit/services/workflow-validator-comprehensive.test.ts
+describe('WorkflowValidator Comprehensive Tests', () => {
+  it('should validate complex workflow with AI nodes', () => {
+    const workflow = {
+      nodes: [
+        {
+          id: 'ai_agent',
+          type: '@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.agent',
+          parameters: { prompt: 'Analyze data' }
+        }
+      ],
+      connections: {}
+    };
+    
+    const result = validator.validateWorkflow(workflow);
+    expect(result.valid).toBe(true);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Parser Tests
+
+Testing the node parsing logic:
+
+```typescript
+// tests/unit/parsers/property-extractor.test.ts
+describe('PropertyExtractor', () => {
+  it('should extract nested properties correctly', () => {
+    const node = {
+      properties: [
+        {
+          displayName: 'Options',
+          name: 'options',
+          type: 'collection',
+          options: [
+            { name: 'timeout', type: 'number' }
+          ]
+        }
+      ]
+    };
+    
+    const extracted = extractor.extractProperties(node);
+    expect(extracted).toHaveProperty('options.timeout');
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Mock Testing
+
+Testing our mock implementations:
+
+```typescript
+// tests/unit/__mocks__/n8n-nodes-base.test.ts
+describe('n8n-nodes-base mock', () => {
+  it('should provide mocked node definitions', () => {
+    const httpNode = mockNodes['n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest'];
+    expect(httpNode).toBeDefined();
+    expect(httpNode.description.displayName).toBe('HTTP Request');
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## Integration Testing
+
+Our integration tests verify the complete system behavior:
+
+### MCP Protocol Testing
+
+```typescript
+// tests/integration/mcp-protocol/tool-invocation.test.ts
+describe('MCP Tool Invocation', () => {
+  let mcpServer: TestableN8NMCPServer;
+  let client: Client;
+
+  beforeEach(async () => {
+    mcpServer = new TestableN8NMCPServer();
+    await mcpServer.initialize();
+    
+    const [serverTransport, clientTransport] = InMemoryTransport.createLinkedPair();
+    await mcpServer.connectToTransport(serverTransport);
+    
+    client = new Client({ name: 'test-client', version: '1.0.0' }, {});
+    await client.connect(clientTransport);
+  });
+
+  it('should list nodes with filtering', async () => {
+    const response = await client.callTool({ 
+      name: 'list_nodes', 
+      arguments: { category: 'trigger', limit: 10 } 
+    });
+    
+    expectValidMCPResponse(response);
+    const result = JSON.parse(response.content[0].text);
+    expect(result.nodes).toHaveLength(10);
+    expect(result.nodes.every(n => n.category === 'trigger')).toBe(true);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Database Integration Testing
+
+```typescript
+// tests/integration/database/fts5-search.test.ts
+describe('FTS5 Search Integration', () => {
+  it('should perform fuzzy search', async () => {
+    const results = await nodeRepo.searchNodes('HTT', 'FUZZY');
+    
+    expect(results.some(n => n.nodeType.includes('httpRequest'))).toBe(true);
+    expect(results.some(n => n.displayName.includes('HTTP'))).toBe(true);
+  });
+
+  it('should handle complex boolean queries', async () => {
+    const results = await nodeRepo.searchNodes('webhook OR http', 'OR');
+    
+    expect(results.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
+    expect(results.some(n => 
+      n.description?.includes('webhook') || 
+      n.description?.includes('http')
+    )).toBe(true);
+  });
+});
+```

+## Environment Configuration
+
+Test environment is configured via `.env.test`:
+
+```bash
+# Test Environment Configuration
+NODE_ENV=test
+TEST_DB_PATH=:memory:
+TEST_PARALLEL=false
+TEST_MAX_WORKERS=4
+FEATURE_TEST_COVERAGE=true
+MSW_ENABLED=true
+```
+
+## Key Patterns and Lessons Learned
+
+### 1. Response Structure Consistency
+
+All MCP responses follow a specific structure that must be handled correctly:
+
+```typescript
+// Common pattern for handling MCP responses
+const response = await client.callTool({ name: 'list_nodes', arguments: {} });
+
+// MCP responses have content array with text objects
+expect(response.content).toBeDefined();
+expect(response.content[0].type).toBe('text');
+
+// Parse the actual data
+const data = JSON.parse(response.content[0].text);
+```
+
+### 2. MSW Integration Setup
+
+Proper MSW setup is crucial for integration tests:
+
+```typescript
+// tests/integration/setup/integration-setup.ts
+import { setupServer } from 'msw/node';
+import { handlers } from '@tests/mocks/n8n-api/handlers';
+
+// Create server but don't start it globally
+const server = setupServer(...handlers);
+
+beforeAll(async () => {
+  // Only start MSW for integration tests
+  if (process.env.MSW_ENABLED === 'true') {
+    server.listen({ onUnhandledRequest: 'bypass' });
+  }
+});
+
+afterAll(async () => {
+  server.close();
+});
+```
+
+### 3. Database Isolation for Parallel Tests
+
+Each test gets its own database to enable parallel execution:
+
+```typescript
+// tests/utils/database-utils.ts
+export function createTestDatabaseAdapter(
+  db?: Database.Database,
+  options: TestDatabaseOptions = {}
+): DatabaseAdapter {
+  const database = db || new Database(':memory:');
+  
+  // Enable FTS5 if needed
+  if (options.enableFTS5) {
+    database.exec('PRAGMA main.compile_options;');
+  }
+  
+  return new DatabaseAdapter(database);
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Environment-Aware Performance Thresholds
+
+CI environments are slower, so we adjust expectations:
+
+```typescript
+// Environment-aware thresholds
+const getThreshold = (local: number, ci: number) => 
+  process.env.CI ? ci : local;
+
+it('should respond quickly', async () => {
+  const start = performance.now();
+  await someOperation();
+  const duration = performance.now() - start;
+  
+  expect(duration).toBeLessThan(getThreshold(50, 200));
+});
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Test Isolation
+- Each test creates its own database instance
+- Tests clean up after themselves
+- No shared state between tests
+
+### 2. Proper Cleanup Order
+```typescript
+afterEach(async () => {
+  // Close client first to ensure no pending requests
+  await client.close();
+  
+  // Give time for client to fully close
+  await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 50));
+  
+  // Then close server
+  await mcpServer.close();
+  
+  // Finally cleanup database
+  await testDb.cleanup();
+});
+```
+
+### 3. Handle Async Operations Carefully
+```typescript
+// Avoid race conditions in cleanup
+it('should handle disconnection', async () => {
+  // ... test code ...
+  
+  // Ensure operations complete before cleanup
+  await transport.close();
+  await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
+});
+```
+
+### 4. Meaningful Test Organization
+- Group related tests using `describe` blocks
+- Use descriptive test names that explain the behavior
+- Follow AAA pattern: Arrange, Act, Assert
+- Keep tests focused on single behaviors
+
+## Debugging Tests
+
+### Running Specific Tests
+```bash
+# Run a single test file
+npm test tests/integration/mcp-protocol/tool-invocation.test.ts
+
+# Run tests matching a pattern
+npm test -- --grep "should list nodes"
+
+# Run with debugging output
+DEBUG=* npm test
+```
+
+### VSCode Integration
+```json
+// .vscode/launch.json
+{
+  "configurations": [
+    {
+      "type": "node",
+      "request": "launch",
+      "name": "Debug Tests",
+      "program": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs",
+      "args": ["run", "${file}"],
+      "console": "integratedTerminal"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+While we don't enforce strict coverage thresholds yet, the infrastructure is in place:
+- Coverage reports generated in `lcov`, `html`, and `text` formats
+- Integration with Codecov for tracking coverage over time
+- Per-file coverage visible in VSCode with extensions
+
+## Future Improvements
+
+1. **E2E Testing**: Add Playwright for testing the full MCP server interaction
+2. **Load Testing**: Implement k6 or Artillery for stress testing
+3. **Contract Testing**: Add Pact for ensuring API compatibility
+4. **Visual Regression**: For any UI components that may be added
+5. **Mutation Testing**: Use Stryker to ensure test quality
+
+## Common Issues and Solutions

+### 1. Tests Hanging in CI
+
+**Problem**: Tests would hang indefinitely in CI due to `process.exit()` calls.
+
+**Solution**: Remove all `process.exit()` calls from test code and use proper cleanup:
+```typescript
+// Bad
+afterAll(() => {
+  process.exit(0); // This causes Vitest to hang
+});
+
+// Good
+afterAll(async () => {
+  await cleanup();
+  // Let Vitest handle process termination
+});
+```
+
+### 2. MCP Response Structure
+
+**Problem**: Tests expecting wrong response format from MCP tools.
+
+**Solution**: Always access responses through `content[0].text`:
+```typescript
+// Wrong
+const data = response[0].text;
+
+// Correct
+const data = JSON.parse(response.content[0].text);
+```
+
+### 3. Database Not Found Errors
+
+**Problem**: Tests failing with "node not found" when database is empty.
+
+**Solution**: Check for empty databases before assertions:
+```typescript
+const stats = await server.executeTool('get_database_statistics', {});
+if (stats.totalNodes > 0) {
+  expect(result.nodes.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
+} else {
+  expect(result.nodes).toHaveLength(0);
+}
+```
+
+### 4. MSW Loading Globally
+
+**Problem**: MSW interfering with unit tests when loaded globally.
+
+**Solution**: Only load MSW in integration test setup:
+```typescript
+// vitest.config.integration.ts
+setupFiles: [
+  './tests/setup/global-setup.ts',
+  './tests/integration/setup/integration-setup.ts' // MSW only here
+]
+```
