feat: replace n8n_create_data_table with n8n_manage_datatable (10 actions)
Replaces the single-purpose n8n_create_data_table tool with a comprehensive n8n_manage_datatable tool covering all 10 n8n data table API endpoints: Table operations: createTable, listTables, getTable, updateTable, deleteTable Row operations: getRows, insertRows, updateRows, upsertRows, deleteRows - Filter system with and/or logic and 8 condition operators - Dry-run support for updateRows, upsertRows, deleteRows - Pagination, sorting, and full-text search for row listing - 9 new N8nApiClient methods for all data table endpoints - Shared error handler and consolidated Zod schemas - Comprehensive tool documentation with examples per action - 36 handler tests + 18 API client tests BREAKING: n8n_create_data_table removed. Use n8n_manage_datatable with action="createTable" instead. Based on work by @djakielski in PR #646.

feat: implement transferWorkflow operation in n8n_update_partial_workflow (#644) (#649)
Add transferWorkflow diff operation to move workflows between n8n projects:
- TransferWorkflowOperation type with destinationProjectId field
- WorkflowDiffEngine validates and tracks transfer intent
- Handler calls PUT /workflows/{id}/transfer after update
- N8nApiClient.transferWorkflow() method
- Zod schema validates destinationProjectId is non-empty
- Tool description and documentation updated
- inferIntentFromOperations case for transfer
Also fixes two pre-existing bugs found during review:
- continueOnError path now properly extracts/propagates activation flags
- Debug log in updateConnectionReferences shows correct old name
Based on work by @djakielski in PR #645.

fix: field normalization, AI connection validation, autofix filter (#581) (#638)
- Normalize name→nodeName and id→nodeId for node-targeting operations in the Zod schema transform, so LLMs using natural field names no longer get "Node not found" errors - Replace hardcoded ALL_CONNECTION_TYPES with dynamic iteration so AI sub-nodes (ai_outputParser, ai_document, ai_textSplitter, etc.) are not flagged as disconnected during save - Add .catchall() to workflowConnectionSchema and extend connection reference validation to cover all connection types, not just main - Fix filterOperationsByFixes ID-vs-name mismatch: typeversion-upgrade operations now include nodeName alongside nodeId, and the filter checks both fields Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - https://www.aiadvisors.pl/en Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix: recognize dynamic AI Tool nodes in validator (Issue #522) (#526)
When n8n connects any node to an AI Agent's tool slot, it creates a dynamic Tool variant at runtime (e.g., googleDrive → googleDriveTool). These don't exist in npm packages, causing false "unknown node type" errors. Added validation-time inference: when a *Tool node type is not found, check if the base node exists. If yes, treat as valid with warning.

Fix: n8n_update_partial_workflow fails with additional properties error (#466)
The n8n Public API uses strict JSON schema validation (additionalProperties: false).
The cleanWorkflowForUpdate() function was sending properties that the API rejects.
Changes:
- Filter out activeVersionId and activeVersion (read-only fields)
- Update settings whitelist to include all 12 properties from n8n OpenAPI spec
- Simplify settings handling (empty {} is now accepted by n8n API)
Source of truth for allowed properties:
- https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/blob/master/packages/cli/src/public-api/v1/handlers/workflows/spec/schemas/workflow.yml
- https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/blob/master/packages/cli/src/public-api/v1/handlers/workflows/spec/schemas/workflowSettings.yml

feat: add n8n_deploy_template tool for one-click template deployment (v2.27.0) (#453)
* feat: add n8n_deploy_template tool for one-click template deployment (v2.27.0) Add new MCP tool that deploys n8n.io workflow templates directly to user's n8n instance in a single operation. Features: - Fetch template from local database - Extract and report required credentials - Optionally strip credentials (default: true) - Optionally auto-upgrade node typeVersions (default: true) - Optionally validate before deployment (default: true) - Return workflow ID, URL, and setup guidance Parameters: - templateId (required): Template ID from n8n.io - name (optional): Custom workflow name - autoUpgradeVersions (default: true) - validate (default: true) - stripCredentials (default: true) Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - https://www.aiadvisors.pl/en 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: address code review findings for n8n_deploy_template - Fix health check tool count (12 → 13) to include new tool - Add templateId validation (must be positive integer) - Use deep copy of workflow to prevent template mutation - Expand unit tests with negative/zero/decimal validation cases Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - https://www.aiadvisors.pl/en 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: update README with n8n_deploy_template tool - Update management tools count from 12 to 13 - Add n8n_deploy_template to the tools list Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - https://www.aiadvisors.pl/en 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: prevent workflow validator from mutating node types The validator was incorrectly mutating node types from full form (n8n-nodes-base.*) to short form (nodes-base.*) during validation. This caused deployed workflows to show "?" icons in n8n UI because the API requires full form node types. Also updated SplitInBatches detection to check both node type forms since workflows may contain either format.

fix: add n8n 1.121 availableInMCP and callerPolicy settings support (v2.26.4) (#445)
* fix: add n8n 1.121 availableInMCP and callerPolicy settings support (v2.26.4) n8n 1.121 introduced a new workflow setting `availableInMCP` (boolean) that controls whether a workflow is "Available in MCP". The sanitization whitelist was missing this field, causing it to be silently stripped during workflow updates. Changes: - Added `availableInMCP` to Zod schema in workflowSettingsSchema - Added `availableInMCP` and `callerPolicy` to safeSettingsProperties whitelist - Both settings are now preserved during workflow updates - Settings can be toggled via updateSettings operation 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - www.aiadvisors.pl/en * test: update tests for callerPolicy and availableInMCP whitelist changes Updated 5 tests in n8n-validation.test.ts that expected callerPolicy to be filtered out.

fix: AI Agent validator not executing due to nodeType format mismatch (Critical)
Fixed critical bug where AI Agent validator never executed, missing 179 configuration errors (30% of all telemetry-identified failures). The Bug: - Switch case checked for '@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.agent' (full package format) - But nodeType was normalized to 'nodes-langchain.agent' before reaching switch - Result: AI Agent validator never matched, never executed The Fix: - Changed case to 'nodes-langchain.agent' to match normalized format - Now correctly catches prompt configuration, maxIterations, error handling issues Files Changed: - src/services/enhanced-config-validator.ts:322 - Fixed nodeType format - tests/unit/services/enhanced-config-validator.test.ts - Added validateAIAgent to mock and verification test - CHANGELOG.md - Added bug fix section to 2.22.13 (not separate version) Testing: - npm test -- tests/unit/services/enhanced-config-validator.test.ts - ✓ All 51 tests pass including new AI Agent validation test Discovery: Discovered by n8n-mcp-tester agent during post-deployment verification of 2.22.13 improvements. The agent attempted to validate an AI Agent node configuration and discovered the validator was never being called. Impact: - Without fix: 179 AI Agent configuration errors (30%) go undetected - With fix: All AI Agent validation rules now execute correctly Version: 2.22.13 (kept under same version as original implementation) Concieved by Romuald Członkowski - www.aiadvisors.pl/en |

fix: Add defensive response validation for n8n API list operations (issue #349)
Addresses "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'map')" error
by adding validation and fallback handling for n8n API responses.
Changes:
- Add response structure validation in listWorkflows, listExecutions,
listCredentials, and listTags methods
- Handle edge case where API returns array directly instead of
{data: [], nextCursor} wrapper object
- Provide clear error messages when response format is unexpected
- Add logging when using fallback format handling
This fix ensures compatibility with different n8n API versions and
prevents runtime errors when the response structure varies from expected.

feat: Add comprehensive workflow versioning and rollback system with automatic backup (#359)
Implements complete workflow versioning, backup, and rollback capabilities with automatic pruning to prevent memory leaks. Every workflow update now creates an automatic backup that can be restored on failure. ## Key Features ### 1. Automatic Backups - Every workflow update automatically creates a version backup (opt-out via `createBackup: false`) - Captures full workflow state before modifications - Auto-prunes to 10 versions per workflow (prevents unbounded storage growth) - Tracks trigger context (partial_update, full_update, autofix) - Stores operation sequences for audit trail ### 2. Rollback Capability - Restore workflow to any previous version via `n8n_workflow_versions` tool - Automatic backup of current state before rollback - Optional pre-rollback validation - Six operational modes: list, get, rollback, delete, prune, truncate ### 3. Version Management - List version history with metadata (size, trigger, operations applied) - Get detailed version information including full workflow snapshot - Delete specific versions or all versions for a workflow - Manual pruning with custom retention count ### 4. Memory Safety - Automatic pruning to max 10 versions per workflow after each backup - Manual cleanup tools (delete, prune, truncate) - Storage statistics tracking (total size, per-workflow breakdown) - Zero configuration required - works automatically ### 5. Non-Blocking Design - Backup failures don't block workflow updates - Logged warnings for failed backups - Continues with update even if versioning service unavailable ## Architecture - **WorkflowVersioningService**: Core versioning logic (backup, restore, cleanup) - **workflow_versions Table**: Stores full workflow snapshots with metadata - **Auto-Pruning**: FIFO policy keeps 10 most recent versions - **Hybrid Storage**: Full snapshots + operation sequences for audit trail ## Test Fixes Fixed TypeScript compilation errors in test files: - Updated test signatures to pass `repository` parameter to workflow handlers - Made async test functions properly async with await keywords - Added mcp-context utility functions for repository initialization - All integration and unit tests now pass TypeScript strict mode ## Files Changed **New Files:** - `src/services/workflow-versioning-service.ts` - Core versioning service - `scripts/test-workflow-versioning.ts` - Comprehensive test script **Modified Files:** - `src/database/schema.sql` - Added workflow_versions table - `src/database/node-repository.ts` - Added 12 versioning methods - `src/mcp/handlers-workflow-diff.ts` - Integrated auto-backup - `src/mcp/handlers-n8n-manager.ts` - Added version management handler - `src/mcp/tools-n8n-manager.ts` - Added n8n_workflow_versions tool - `src/mcp/server.ts` - Updated handler calls with repository parameter - `tests/**/*.test.ts` - Fixed TypeScript errors (repository parameter, async/await) - `tests/integration/n8n-api/utils/mcp-context.ts` - Added repository utilities ## Impact - **Confidence**: Increases AI agent confidence by 3x (per UX analysis) - **Safety**: Transforms feature from "use with caution" to "production-ready" - **Recovery**: Failed updates can be instantly rolled back - **Audit**: Complete history of workflow changes with operation sequences - **Memory**: Auto-pruning prevents storage leaks (~200KB per workflow max) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - www.aiadvisors.pl/en |

fix: recognize all trigger node types including executeWorkflowTrigger (#351) (#352)
This fix addresses issue #351 where Execute Workflow Trigger and other trigger nodes were incorrectly treated as regular nodes, causing "disconnected node" errors during partial workflow updates. ## Changes **1. Created Shared Trigger Detection Utilities** - src/utils/node-type-utils.ts: - isTriggerNode(): Recognizes ALL trigger types using flexible pattern matching - isActivatableTrigger(): Returns false for executeWorkflowTrigger (not activatable) - getTriggerTypeDescription(): Human-readable trigger descriptions **2. Updated Workflow Validation** - src/services/n8n-validation.ts: - Replaced hardcoded webhookTypes Set with isTriggerNode() function - Added validation preventing activation of workflows with only executeWorkflowTrigger - Now recognizes 200+ trigger types across n8n packages **3. Updated Workflow Validator** - src/services/workflow-validator.ts: - Replaced inline trigger detection with shared isTriggerNode() function - Ensures consistency across all validation code paths **4. Comprehensive Tests** - tests/unit/utils/node-type-utils.test.ts: - Added 30+ tests for trigger detection functions - Validates all trigger types are recognized correctly - Confirms executeWorkflowTrigger is trigger but not activatable ## Impact Before: - Execute Workflow Trigger flagged as disconnected node - Schedule/email/polling triggers also rejected - Users forced to keep unnecessary webhook triggers After: - ALL trigger types recognized (executeWorkflowTrigger, scheduleTrigger, etc.) - No disconnected node errors for triggers - Clear error when activating workflow with only executeWorkflowTrigger - Future-proof (new triggers automatically supported) ## Testing - Build: ✅ Passes - Typecheck: ✅ Passes - Unit tests: ✅ All pass - Validation test: ✅ Trigger detection working correctly Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - https://www.aiadvisors.pl/en |

fix: sticky notes validation - eliminate false positives in workflow updates (#350)
Fixed critical bug where sticky notes (UI-only annotation nodes) incorrectly triggered "disconnected node" validation errors when updating workflows via MCP tools (n8n_update_partial_workflow, n8n_update_full_workflow). Problem: - Workflows with sticky notes failed validation with "Node is disconnected" errors - n8n-validation.ts lacked sticky note exclusion logic - workflow-validator.ts had correct logic but as private method - Code duplication led to divergent behavior Solution: 1. Created shared utility module (src/utils/node-classification.ts) - isStickyNote(): Identifies all sticky note type variations - isTriggerNode(): Identifies trigger nodes - isNonExecutableNode(): Identifies UI-only nodes - requiresIncomingConnection(): Determines connection requirements 2. Updated n8n-validation.ts to use shared utilities - Fixed disconnected nodes check to skip non-executable nodes - Added validation for workflows with only sticky notes - Fixed multi-node connection check to exclude sticky notes 3. Updated workflow-validator.ts to use shared utilities - Removed private isStickyNote() method (8 locations) - Eliminated code duplication Testing: - Created comprehensive test suites (54 new tests, 100% coverage) - Tested with n8n-mcp-tester agent using real n8n instance - All test scenarios passed including regression tests - Validated against real workflows with sticky notes Impact: - Sticky notes no longer block workflow updates - Matches n8n UI behavior exactly - Zero regressions in existing validation - All MCP workflow tools now work correctly with annotated workflows Files Changed: - NEW: src/utils/node-classification.ts - NEW: tests/unit/utils/node-classification.test.ts (44 tests) - NEW: tests/unit/services/n8n-validation-sticky-notes.test.ts (10 tests) - MODIFIED: src/services/n8n-validation.ts (lines 198-259) - MODIFIED: src/services/workflow-validator.ts (8 locations) - MODIFIED: tests/unit/validation-fixes.test.ts - MODIFIED: CHANGELOG.md (v2.20.8 entry) - MODIFIED: package.json (version bump to 2.20.8) Test Results: - Unit tests: 54 new tests passing, 100% coverage on utilities - Integration tests: All 10 sticky notes validation tests passing - Regression tests: Zero failures in existing test suite - Real-world testing: 4 test workflows validated successfully Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - www.aiadvisors.pl/en |

feat: Enhanced error messages and documentation for workflow validation (fixes #331) v2.20.3 (#339)
* fix: Prevent broken workflows via partial updates (fixes #331) Added final workflow structure validation to n8n_update_partial_workflow to prevent creating corrupted workflows that the n8n UI cannot render. ## Problem - Partial updates validated individual operations but not final structure - Could create invalid workflows (no connections, single non-webhook nodes) - Result: workflows exist in API but show "Workflow not found" in UI ## Solution - Added validateWorkflowStructure() after applying diff operations - Enhanced error messages with actionable operation examples - Reject updates creating invalid workflows with clear feedback ## Changes - handlers-workflow-diff.ts: Added final validation before API update - n8n-validation.ts: Improved error messages with correct syntax examples - Tests: Fixed 3 tests + added 3 new validation scenario tests ## Impact - Impossible to create workflows that UI cannot render - Clear error messages when validation fails - All valid workflows continue to work - Validates before API call, prevents corruption at source Closes #331 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: Enhanced validation to detect ALL disconnected nodes (fixes #331 phase 2) Improved workflow structure validation to detect disconnected nodes during incremental workflow building, not just workflows with zero connections. ## Problem Discovered via Real-World Testing The initial fix for #331 validated workflows with ZERO connections, but missed the case where nodes are added incrementally: - Workflow has Webhook → HTTP Request (1 connection) ✓ - Add Set node WITHOUT connecting it → validation passed ✗ - Result: disconnected node that UI cannot render properly ## Root Cause Validation checked `connectionCount === 0` but didn't verify that ALL nodes have connections. ## Solution - Enhanced Detection Build connection graph and identify ALL disconnected nodes: - Track all nodes appearing in connections (as source OR target) - Find nodes with no incoming or outgoing connections - Handle webhook/trigger nodes specially (can be source-only) - Report specific disconnected nodes with actionable fixes ## Changes - n8n-validation.ts: Comprehensive disconnected node detection - Builds Set of connected nodes from connection graph - Identifies orphaned nodes (not in connection graph) - Provides error with node names and suggested fix - Tests: Added test for incremental disconnected node scenario - Creates 2-node workflow with connection - Adds 3rd node WITHOUT connecting - Verifies validation rejects with clear error ## Validation Logic ```typescript // Phase 1: Check if workflow has ANY connections if (connectionCount === 0) { /* error */ } // Phase 2: Check if ALL nodes are connected (NEW) connectedNodes = Set of all nodes in connection graph disconnectedNodes = nodes NOT in connectedNodes if (disconnectedNodes.length > 0) { /* error with node names */ } ``` ## Impact - Detects disconnected nodes at ANY point in workflow building - Error messages list specific disconnected nodes by name - Safe incremental workflow construction - Tested against real 28-node workflow building scenario Closes #331 (complete fix with enhanced detection) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat: Enhanced error messages and documentation for workflow validation (fixes #331) v2.20.3 Significantly improved error messages and recovery guidance for workflow validation failures, making it easier for AI agents to diagnose and fix workflow issues. ## Enhanced Error Messages Added comprehensive error categorization and recovery guidance to workflow validation failures: -

BEFORE: - HTTP Request (2 properties) → 29 warnings (96% false positives) - Webhook (1 property) → 6 warnings (83% false positives) - Signal-to-noise ratio: 3% AFTER: - HTTP Request (2 properties) → 1 warning (96.5% reduction) - Webhook (1 property) → 1 warning (83% reduction) - Signal-to-noise ratio: >90% Changes: - Track user-provided keys separately from defaults - Filter UI-only properties (notice, callout, infoBox) - Improve warning messages with visibility requirements - Enhance profile-aware filtering Files modified: - src/services/config-validator.ts: Add user key tracking, UI filtering - src/services/enhanced-config-validator.ts: Extract user keys, enhance profiles - src/mcp-tools-engine.ts: Pass user keys to validator - CHANGELOG.md: Document v2.18.0 release - package.json: Bump version to 2.18.0 Verified with extensive testing via n8n-mcp-tester agent. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> |

feat: add TypeScript type safety with strategic any assertions (v2.17.5)
Added comprehensive TypeScript type definitions for n8n node parsing while maintaining zero compilation errors. Uses pragmatic "70% benefit with 0% breakage" approach with strategic `any` assertions. ## Type Definitions (src/types/node-types.ts) - NodeClass union type replaces `any` in method signatures - Type guards: isVersionedNodeInstance(), isVersionedNodeClass() - Utility functions for safe node handling ## Parser Updates - node-parser.ts: All methods use NodeClass (15+ methods) - simple-parser.ts: Strongly typed method signatures - property-extractor.ts: Typed extraction methods - 30+ method signatures improved ## Strategic Pattern - Strong types in public method signatures (caller type safety) - Strategic `as any` assertions for internal union type access - Pattern: const desc = description as any; // Access union properties ## Benefits - Better IDE support and auto-complete - Compile-time safety at call sites - Type-based documentation - Zero compilation errors - Bug prevention (would have caught v2.17.4 baseDescription issue) ## Test Updates - All test files updated with `as any` for mock objects - Zero compilation errors maintained ## Known Limitations - ~70% type coverage (signatures typed, internal logic uses assertions) - Union types (INodeTypeBaseDescription vs INodeTypeDescription) not fully resolved - Future work: Conditional types or overloads for 100% type safety 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> |

test: fix failing test and add comprehensive version extraction test coverage
Address code review feedback from PR #285: 1. Fix Failing Test (CRITICAL) - Updated test from baseDescription.defaultVersion to description.defaultVersion - Added test to verify baseDescription is correctly ignored (legacy bug) 2. Add Missing Test Coverage (HIGH PRIORITY) - Test currentVersion priority over description.defaultVersion - Test currentVersion = 0 edge case (version 0 should be valid) - All 34 tests now passing 3. Enhanced Documentation - Added comprehensive JSDoc for extractVersion() explaining priority chain - Enhanced validation comments explaining why typeVersion must run before langchain skip - Clarified that parameter validation (not typeVersion) is skipped for langchain nodes Test Results: - ✅ 34/34 tests passing - ✅ Version extraction priority chain validated - ✅ Edge cases covered (version 0, missing properties) - ✅ Legacy bug prevention tested 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix: correct version extraction and typeVersion validation for langchain nodes
This commit fixes two critical bugs affecting AI Agent and other langchain nodes: 1. Version Extraction Bug (node-parser.ts) - AI Agent was returning version "3" instead of "2.2" (the defaultVersion) - Root cause: extractVersion() checked non-existent instance.baseDescription.defaultVersion - Fix: Updated priority to check currentVersion first, then description.defaultVersion - Impact: All VersionedNodeType nodes now return correct version 2. typeVersion Validation Bypass (workflow-validator.ts) - Langchain nodes with invalid typeVersion passed validation (even typeVersion: 99999) - Root cause: langchain skip happened before typeVersion validation - Fix: Moved typeVersion validation before langchain parameter skip - Impact: Invalid typeVersion values now properly caught for all nodes Also includes: - Database rebuilt with corrected version data (536 nodes) - Version bump: 2.17.3 → 2.17.4 - Comprehensive CHANGELOG entry 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> |
