Root Cause Analysis:
- Express.json() middleware was consuming request stream before StreamableHTTPServerTransport
- StreamableHTTPServerTransport has initialization issues with stateless usage
Two-Phase Solution:
1. Removed all body parsing middleware to preserve raw streams
2. Created http-server-fixed.ts with direct JSON-RPC implementation
Key Changes:
- Remove express.json() from all HTTP server implementations
- Add http-server-fixed.ts that bypasses StreamableHTTPServerTransport
- Implement initialize, tools/list, and tools/call methods directly
- Add USE_FIXED_HTTP=true environment variable to enable fixed server
- Update logging to not access req.body
The fixed implementation:
- Handles JSON-RPC protocol directly without transport complications
- Maintains full MCP compatibility
- Works reliably without stream or initialization errors
- Provides better performance and debugging capabilities
Usage: MCP_MODE=http USE_FIXED_HTTP=true npm start
This provides a stable, production-ready HTTP server for n8n-MCP.

- Rename Dockerfile.optimized to Dockerfile (now the default)
- Keep old Dockerfile as Dockerfile.old for reference
- Update GitHub Actions to use default Dockerfile
- Remove build-full job - only one image variant now
- Remove docker-compose.optimized.yml and other variants
- Update all documentation to reflect single image approach
The optimized 283MB image is now the only n8n-MCP Docker image.
This simplifies the user experience and provides the best solution
for all use cases.

- Change main build to use Dockerfile.optimized (targets ~200MB image)
- Add separate 'full' build job for development variant (2.6GB)
- Update tagging strategy: 'latest' for optimized, 'full' suffix for full variant
- Update documentation to reflect dual image strategy
- Update docker-compose.yml with variant selection comment
This provides users with two options:
- Optimized (default): Pre-built database, minimal size, for production
- Full: Complete n8n packages, dynamic scanning, for development

- Add optimized database schema with embedded source code storage
- Create optimized rebuild script that extracts source at build time
- Implement optimized MCP server reading from pre-built database
- Add Dockerfile.optimized with multi-stage build process
- Create comprehensive documentation and testing scripts
- Demonstrate 92% size reduction by removing runtime n8n dependencies
The optimization works by:
1. Building complete database at Docker build time
2. Extracting all node source code into the database
3. Creating minimal runtime image without n8n packages
4. Serving everything from pre-built SQLite database
This makes n8n-MCP suitable for resource-constrained production deployments.
