 # Comprehensive Integration Testing Plan
 
+## Status
+
+**Phase 1: Foundation** ✅ **COMPLETE** (October 3, 2025)
+- All utility files created and tested
+- Webhook workflows created on `https://n8n-test.n8n-mcp.com`
+- GitHub secrets configured
+- Critical fix: Updated credentials to use webhook URLs instead of IDs
+- Environment loading fixed to support real n8n API integration tests
+
+**Phase 2: Workflow Creation Tests** ✅ **COMPLETE** (October 3, 2025)
+- 15 test scenarios implemented and passing
+- P0 bug verification confirmed (FULL node type format)
+- All test categories covered: base nodes, advanced features, error scenarios, edge cases
+- Documented actual n8n API behavior (validation at execution time, not creation time)
+- Test file: `tests/integration/n8n-api/workflows/create-workflow.test.ts` (484 lines)
+
+**Next Phase**: Phase 3 - Workflow Retrieval Tests
+
+---
+
 ## Overview
 
 Transform the test suite to test all 17 n8n API handlers against a **real n8n instance** instead of mocks. This plan ensures 100% coverage of every tool, operation, and parameter combination to prevent bugs like the P0 workflow creation issue from slipping through.

 2. **Pre-activated Webhook Workflows**:
    - n8n API doesn't support workflow activation via API
    - Need pre-created, activated workflows for webhook testing
-   - Store workflow IDs in `.env`:
-     - `N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_GET_ID` - Webhook with GET method
-     - `N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_POST_ID` - Webhook with POST method
-     - `N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_PUT_ID` - Webhook with PUT method
-     - `N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_DELETE_ID` - Webhook with DELETE method
+   - Store webhook URLs (not workflow IDs) in `.env`:
+     - `N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_GET_URL` - GET method webhook URL
+     - `N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_POST_URL` - POST method webhook URL
+     - `N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_PUT_URL` - PUT method webhook URL
+     - `N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_DELETE_URL` - DELETE method webhook URL
+   - **Rationale**: Webhook URLs are what the `n8n_trigger_webhook_workflow` tool needs. Workflow IDs are only for workflow management tests (which create workflows dynamically during test execution).

 ## Success Criteria
 
-- ✅ All 17 handlers have integration tests
-- ✅ All operations/parameters covered (150+ scenarios)
-- ✅ Tests run successfully locally and in CI
+### Phase 1: Foundation ✅ COMPLETE
+- ✅ Environment configuration (.env, GitHub secrets)
+- ✅ All utility files created (8 files, ~1,520 lines of code)
+- ✅ Pre-activated webhook workflows created and tested
+- ✅ Cleanup helpers with pagination safety
+- ✅ Resource tracking with TestContext
+- ✅ Fixtures and factories for test data
+- ✅ Documentation updated
+- ✅ Environment loading fixed (loads .env before test defaults)
+- ✅ Vitest integration config updated (removed MSW for n8n-api tests)
+
+### Phase 2: Workflow Creation Tests ✅ COMPLETE
+- ✅ 15 test scenarios implemented (all passing)
+- ✅ P0 bug verification (FULL vs SHORT node type format)
+- ✅ Base node tests (webhook, HTTP, langchain, multi-node)
+- ✅ Advanced features (connections, settings, expressions, error handling)
+- ✅ Error scenarios (4 tests documenting actual API behavior)
+- ✅ Edge cases (3 tests for minimal/empty configurations)
+- ✅ Test file: 484 lines covering all handleCreateWorkflow scenarios
+- ✅ All tests passing on real n8n instance
+
+### Overall Project (In Progress)
+- ⏳ All 17 handlers have integration tests (1 of 17 complete)
+- ⏳ All operations/parameters covered (15 of 150+ scenarios complete)
+- ✅ Tests run successfully locally (Phase 2 verified)
+- ⏳ Tests run successfully in CI (pending Phase 9)
 - ✅ No manual cleanup required (automatic)
-- ✅ Test coverage catches P0-level bugs
-- ✅ CI runs on every PR and daily
+- ✅ Test coverage catches P0-level bugs (verified in Phase 2)
+- ⏳ CI runs on every PR and daily (pending Phase 9)
 - ✅ Clear error messages when tests fail
 - ✅ Documentation for webhook workflow setup

+## Key Learnings from Phase 2
+
+### n8n API Behavior Discoveries
+1. **Validation Timing**: n8n API accepts workflows with invalid node types and connection references at creation time. Validation only happens at execution time.
+2. **Node Type Format**: FULL node type format (`n8n-nodes-base.*`) must be used in API requests. The P0 bug was confirmed fixed.
+3. **Missing Parameters**: n8n accepts workflows with missing required parameters. They fail during execution, not creation.
+4. **Duplicate Names**: n8n API handles duplicate node names gracefully (may auto-rename).
+
+### Technical Implementation Insights
+1. **MSW Interference**: Integration tests that need real network requests must NOT load MSW setup. Removed from vitest.config.integration.ts.
+2. **Environment Loading**: Must load `.env` file BEFORE test defaults in global setup to preserve real credentials.
+3. **Cleanup Safety**: TestContext pattern works well for tracking and cleaning up test resources.
+4. **Test Isolation**: Each test creates unique workflows with timestamps to avoid conflicts.
