feat: Implement n8n-MCP Enhancement Plan v2.1 Final
- Implement simple node loader supporting n8n-nodes-base and langchain packages - Create parser handling declarative, programmatic, and versioned nodes - Build documentation mapper with 89% coverage (405/457 nodes) - Setup SQLite database with minimal schema - Create rebuild script for one-command database updates - Implement validation script for critical nodes - Update MCP server with documentation-focused tools - Add npm scripts for streamlined workflow Successfully loads 457/458 nodes with accurate documentation mapping. Versioned node detection working (46 nodes detected). 3/4 critical nodes pass validation tests. Known limitations: - Slack operations extraction incomplete for some versioned nodes - One langchain node fails due to missing dependency - No AI tools detected (none have usableAsTool flag) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

# n8n-MCP Implementation Report
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Successfully implemented the n8n-MCP Enhancement Plan v2.1 Final, delivering a functional MVP that provides accurate n8n node documentation through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
|
||||
|
||||
## Achievements
|
||||
|
||||
### Week 1: Core Implementation ✅
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Node Loader** (`src/loaders/node-loader.ts`)
|
||||
- Loads nodes from both `n8n-nodes-base` and `@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain`
|
||||
- Handles both array and object formats for node configurations
|
||||
- Successfully loads 457 out of 458 nodes
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Simple Parser** (`src/parsers/simple-parser.ts`)
|
||||
- Parses both declarative and programmatic nodes
|
||||
- Detects versioned nodes (both VersionedNodeType and inline versioning)
|
||||
- Extracts node metadata, properties, and operations
|
||||
- Handles instantiation of nodes to access instance properties
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Documentation Mapper** (`src/mappers/docs-mapper.ts`)
|
||||
- Maps nodes to their documentation files
|
||||
- Handles both file and directory documentation structures
|
||||
- Includes known fixes for problematic node names
|
||||
- Achieves 89% documentation coverage (405/457 nodes)
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Database Schema** (`src/database/schema.sql`)
|
||||
- Simple SQLite schema optimized for the MVP
|
||||
- Stores all essential node information
|
||||
- Includes indexes for performance
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Rebuild Script** (`src/scripts/rebuild.ts`)
|
||||
- One-command database rebuild (`npm run rebuild`)
|
||||
- Provides clear progress and error reporting
|
||||
- Completes in under 30 seconds
|
||||
|
||||
### Week 2: Testing and Integration ✅
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Validation Script** (`src/scripts/validate.ts`)
|
||||
- Tests critical nodes (HTTP Request, Code, Slack, Agent)
|
||||
- Validates documentation coverage
|
||||
- Provides database statistics
|
||||
- 3 out of 4 critical nodes pass all tests
|
||||
|
||||
2. **MCP Server Updates** (`src/mcp/server-update.ts`)
|
||||
- Implements all planned MCP tools:
|
||||
- `list_nodes` - Filter and list nodes
|
||||
- `get_node_info` - Detailed node information
|
||||
- `search_nodes` - Full-text search
|
||||
- `list_ai_tools` - List AI-capable nodes
|
||||
- `get_node_documentation` - Fetch node docs
|
||||
- `get_database_statistics` - Database stats
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
- **Nodes Loaded**: 457/458 (99.8%)
|
||||
- **Documentation Coverage**: 405/457 (88.6%)
|
||||
- **Versioned Nodes Detected**: 46
|
||||
- **AI Tools**: 0 (none marked with usableAsTool flag)
|
||||
- **Triggers**: 10
|
||||
- **Packages Supported**: 2
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Slack Operations**: Unable to extract operations from some versioned nodes due to complex structure
|
||||
2. **AI Tools Detection**: No nodes currently have the `usableAsTool` flag set
|
||||
3. **One Failed Node**: One node from langchain package fails to load due to missing dependency
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Setup
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n-docs.git n8n-docs
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
|
||||
# Build
|
||||
npm run build
|
||||
|
||||
# Rebuild database
|
||||
npm run rebuild
|
||||
|
||||
# Validate
|
||||
npm run validate
|
||||
|
||||
# Start MCP server
|
||||
npm start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps (Post-MVP)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Improve operations extraction for complex versioned nodes
|
||||
2. Add real-time monitoring capabilities
|
||||
3. Implement version history tracking
|
||||
4. Add support for community nodes
|
||||
5. Create web UI for browsing documentation
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
The implementation successfully achieves the MVP goals:
|
||||
- ✅ Accurate node-to-documentation mapping
|
||||
- ✅ Coverage of official n8n packages
|
||||
- ✅ Fast rebuild process (<30 seconds)
|
||||
- ✅ Simple one-command operations
|
||||
- ✅ Reliable processing of standard nodes
|
||||
- ✅ Working MCP server with documentation tools
|
||||
|
||||
The system is ready for use and provides a solid foundation for future enhancements.
