# Template Update Process - Quick Reference
## Overview
The n8n-mcp project maintains a database of workflow templates from n8n.io. This guide explains how to update the template database incrementally without rebuilding from scratch.
## Current Database State
As of the last update:
- **2,598 templates** in database
- Templates from the last 12 months
- Latest template: September 12, 2025
## Quick Commands
### Incremental Update (Recommended)
```bash
# Build if needed
npm run build
# Fetch only NEW templates (5-10 minutes)
npm run fetch:templates:update
```
### Full Rebuild (Rare)
```bash
# Rebuild entire database from scratch (30-40 minutes)
npm run fetch:templates
```
## How It Works
### Incremental Update Mode (`--update`)
The incremental update is **smart and efficient**:
1. **Loads existing template IDs** from database (~2,598 templates)
2. **Fetches template list** from n8n.io API (all templates from last 12 months)
3. **Filters** to find only NEW templates not in database
4. **Fetches details** for new templates only (saves time and API calls)
5. **Saves** new templates to database (existing ones untouched)
6. **Rebuilds FTS5** search index for new templates
### Key Benefits
**Non-destructive**: All existing templates preserved
**Fast**: Only fetches new templates (5-10 min vs 30-40 min)
**API friendly**: Reduces load on n8n.io API
**Safe**: Preserves AI-generated metadata
**Smart**: Automatically skips duplicates
## Performance Comparison
| Mode | Templates Fetched | Time | Use Case |
|------|------------------|------|----------|
| **Update** | Only new (~50-200) | 5-10 min | Regular updates |
| **Rebuild** | All (~8000+) | 30-40 min | Initial setup or corruption |
## Command Options
### Basic Update
```bash
npm run fetch:templates:update
```
### Full Rebuild
```bash
npm run fetch:templates
```
### With Metadata Generation
```bash
# Update templates and generate AI metadata
npm run fetch:templates -- --update --generate-metadata
# Or just generate metadata for existing templates
npm run fetch:templates -- --metadata-only
```
### Help
```bash
npm run fetch:templates -- --help
```
## Update Frequency
Recommended update schedule:
- **Weekly**: Run incremental update to get latest templates
- **Monthly**: Review database statistics
- **As needed**: Rebuild only if database corruption suspected
## Template Filtering
The fetcher automatically filters templates:
-**Includes**: Templates from last 12 months
-**Includes**: Templates with >10 views
-**Excludes**: Templates with ≤10 views (too niche)
-**Excludes**: Templates older than 12 months
## Workflow
### Regular Update Workflow
```bash
# 1. Check current state
sqlite3 data/nodes.db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM templates"
# 2. Build project (if code changed)
npm run build
# 3. Run incremental update
npm run fetch:templates:update
# 4. Verify new templates added
sqlite3 data/nodes.db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM templates"
```
### After n8n Dependency Update
When you update n8n dependencies, templates remain compatible:
```bash
# 1. Update n8n (from MEMORY_N8N_UPDATE.md)
npm run update:all
# 2. Fetch new templates incrementally
npm run fetch:templates:update
# 3. Check how many templates were added
sqlite3 data/nodes.db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM templates"
# 4. Generate AI metadata for new templates (optional, requires OPENAI_API_KEY)
npm run fetch:templates -- --metadata-only
# 5. IMPORTANT: Sanitize templates before pushing database
npm run build
npm run sanitize:templates
```
Templates are independent of n8n version - they're just workflow JSON data.
**CRITICAL**: Always run `npm run sanitize:templates` before pushing the database to remove API tokens from template workflows.
**Note**: New templates fetched via `--update` mode will NOT have AI-generated metadata by default. You need to run `--metadata-only` separately to generate metadata for templates that don't have it yet.
## Troubleshooting
### No New Templates Found
This is normal! It means:
- All recent templates are already in your database
- n8n.io hasn't published many new templates recently
- Your database is up to date
```bash
📊 Update mode: 0 new templates to fetch (skipping 2598 existing)
✅ All templates already have metadata
```
### API Rate Limiting
If you hit rate limits:
- The fetcher includes built-in delays (150ms between requests)
- Wait a few minutes and try again
- Use `--update` mode instead of full rebuild
### Database Corruption
If you suspect corruption:
```bash
# Full rebuild from scratch
npm run fetch:templates
# This will:
# - Drop and recreate templates table
# - Fetch all templates fresh
# - Rebuild search indexes
```
## Database Schema
Templates are stored with:
- Basic info (id, name, description, author, views, created_at)
- Node types used (JSON array)
- Complete workflow (gzip compressed, base64 encoded)
- AI-generated metadata (optional, requires OpenAI API key)
- FTS5 search index for fast text search
## Metadata Generation
Generate AI metadata for templates:
```bash
# Requires OPENAI_API_KEY in .env
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
# Generate for templates without metadata (recommended after incremental update)
npm run fetch:templates -- --metadata-only
# Generate during template fetch (slower, but automatic)
npm run fetch:templates:update -- --generate-metadata
```
**Important**: Incremental updates (`--update`) do NOT generate metadata by default. After running `npm run fetch:templates:update`, you'll have new templates without metadata. Run `--metadata-only` separately to generate metadata for them.
### Check Metadata Coverage
```bash
# See how many templates have metadata
sqlite3 data/nodes.db "SELECT
COUNT(*) as total,
SUM(CASE WHEN metadata_json IS NOT NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as with_metadata,
SUM(CASE WHEN metadata_json IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as without_metadata
FROM templates"
# See recent templates without metadata
sqlite3 data/nodes.db "SELECT id, name, created_at
FROM templates
WHERE metadata_json IS NULL
ORDER BY created_at DESC
LIMIT 10"
```
Metadata includes:
- Categories
- Complexity level (simple/medium/complex)
- Use cases
- Estimated setup time
- Required services
- Key features
- Target audience
### Metadata Generation Troubleshooting
If metadata generation fails:
1. **Check error file**: Errors are saved to `temp/batch/batch_*_error.jsonl`
2. **Common issues**:
- `"Unsupported value: 'temperature'"` - Model doesn't support custom temperature
- `"Invalid request"` - Check OPENAI_API_KEY is valid
- Model availability issues
3. **Model**: Uses `gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07` by default
4. **Token limit**: 3000 tokens per request for detailed metadata
The system will automatically:
- Process error files and assign default metadata to failed templates
- Save error details for debugging
- Continue processing even if some templates fail
**Example error handling**:
```bash
# If you see: "No output file available for batch job"
# Check: temp/batch/batch_*_error.jsonl for error details
# The system now automatically processes errors and generates default metadata
```
## Environment Variables
Optional configuration:
```bash
# OpenAI for metadata generation
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-4o-mini # Default model
OPENAI_BATCH_SIZE=50 # Batch size for metadata generation
# Metadata generation limits
METADATA_LIMIT=100 # Max templates to process (0 = all)
```
## Statistics
After update, check stats:
```bash
# Template count
sqlite3 data/nodes.db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM templates"
# Most recent template
sqlite3 data/nodes.db "SELECT MAX(created_at) FROM templates"
# Templates by view count
sqlite3 data/nodes.db "SELECT COUNT(*),
CASE
WHEN views < 50 THEN '<50'
WHEN views < 100 THEN '50-100'
WHEN views < 500 THEN '100-500'
ELSE '500+'
END as view_range
FROM templates GROUP BY view_range"
```
## Integration with n8n-mcp
Templates are available through MCP tools:
- `list_templates`: List all templates
- `get_template`: Get specific template with workflow
- `search_templates`: Search by keyword
- `list_node_templates`: Templates using specific nodes
- `get_templates_for_task`: Templates for common tasks
- `search_templates_by_metadata`: Advanced filtering
See `npm run test:templates` for usage examples.
## Time Estimates
Typical incremental update:
- Loading existing IDs: 1-2 seconds
- Fetching template list: 2-3 minutes
- Filtering new templates: instant
- Fetching details for 100 new templates: ~15 seconds (0.15s each)
- Saving and indexing: 5-10 seconds
- **Total: 3-5 minutes**
Full rebuild:
- Fetching 8000+ templates: 25-30 minutes
- Saving and indexing: 5-10 minutes
- **Total: 30-40 minutes**
## Best Practices
1. **Use incremental updates** for regular maintenance
2. **Rebuild only when necessary** (corruption, major changes)
3. **Generate metadata incrementally** to avoid OpenAI costs
4. **Monitor template count** to verify updates working
5. **Keep database backed up** before major operations
## Next Steps
After updating templates:
1. Test template search: `npm run test:templates`
2. Verify MCP tools work: Test in Claude Desktop
3. Check statistics in database
4. Commit changes if desired (database changes)

### 🏠 Local n8n Instance Configuration
If you're running n8n locally (e.g., `http://localhost:5678` or Docker), you need to allow localhost webhooks:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"n8n-mcp": {
"command": "docker",

## 🔐 Privacy & Telemetry
n8n-mcp collects anonymous usage statistics to improve the tool. [View our privacy policy](./PRIVACY.md).
### Opting Out
**For npx users:**
```bash
npx n8n-mcp telemetry disable
```
**For Docker users:**
Add the following environment variable to your Docker configuration:
```json
"-e", "N8N_MCP_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=true"
```
Example in Claude Desktop config:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"n8n-mcp": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"--init",
"-e", "MCP_MODE=stdio",

"-e", "N8N_MCP_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=true",
"ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest"
]
}
}
}
```
**For docker-compose users:**
Set in your environment file or docker-compose.yml:
```yaml
environment:
N8N_MCP_TELEMETRY_DISABLED: "true"
```
## ⚙️ Database & Memory Configuration
### Database Adapters
n8n-mcp uses SQLite for storing node documentation. Two adapters are available:
1. **better-sqlite3** (Default in Docker)
- Native C++ bindings for best performance
- Direct disk writes (no memory overhead)
- **Now enabled by default** in Docker images (v2.20.2+)
- Memory usage: ~100-120 MB stable
2. **sql.js** (Fallback)
- Pure JavaScript implementation
- In-memory database with periodic saves
- Used when better-sqlite3 compilation fails
- Memory usage: ~150-200 MB stable
### Memory Optimization (sql.js)
If using sql.js fallback, you can configure the save interval to balance between data safety and memory efficiency:
**Environment Variable:**
```bash
SQLJS_SAVE_INTERVAL_MS=5000 # Default: 5000ms (5 seconds)
```
**Usage:**
- Controls how long to wait after database changes before saving to disk
- Lower values = more frequent saves = higher memory churn
- Higher values = less frequent saves = lower memory usage
- Minimum: 100ms
- Recommended: 5000-10000ms for production
**Docker Configuration:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"n8n-mcp": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"--init",
"-e", "SQLJS_SAVE_INTERVAL_MS=10000",
"ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest"
]
}
}
}
```
**docker-compose:**
```yaml
environment:
SQLJS_SAVE_INTERVAL_MS: "10000"
```
### Memory Leak Fix (v2.20.2)
**Issue #330** identified a critical memory leak in long-running Docker/Kubernetes deployments:
- **Before:** 100 MB → 2.2 GB over 72 hours (OOM kills)
- **After:** Stable at 100-200 MB indefinitely
**Fixes Applied:**
- ✅ Docker images now use better-sqlite3 by default (eliminates leak entirely)
- ✅ sql.js fallback optimized (98% reduction in save frequency)
- ✅ Removed unnecessary memory allocations (50% reduction per save)
- ✅ Configurable save interval via `SQLJS_SAVE_INTERVAL_MS`
For Kubernetes deployments with memory limits:
```yaml
resources:
requests:
memory: 256Mi
limits:
memory: 512Mi
```

You are an expert in n8n automation software using n8n-MCP tools. Your role is to design, build, and validate n8n workflows with maximum accuracy and efficiency.
## Core Principles
## Core Workflow Process
### 1. Silent Execution
CRITICAL: Execute tools without commentary. Only respond AFTER all tools complete.
1. **ALWAYS start new conversation with**: `tools_documentation()` to understand best practices and available tools.
❌ BAD: "Let me search for Slack nodes... Great! Now let me get details..."
✅ GOOD: [Execute search_nodes and get_node_essentials in parallel, then respond]
### 2. Parallel Execution
When operations are independent, execute them in parallel for maximum performance.
✅ GOOD: Call search_nodes, list_nodes, and search_templates simultaneously
❌ BAD: Sequential tool calls (await each one before the next)
### 3. Templates First
ALWAYS check templates before building from scratch (2,500+ available).
### 4. Multi-Level Validation
Use validate_node_minimal → validate_node_operation → validate_workflow pattern.
### 5. Never Trust Defaults
⚠️ CRITICAL: Default parameter values are the #1 source of runtime failures.
ALWAYS explicitly configure ALL parameters that control node behavior.
## Workflow Process
1. **Start**: Call `tools_documentation()` for best practices
2. **Template Discovery Phase** (FIRST - parallel when searching multiple)
- `search_templates_by_metadata({complexity: "simple"})` - Smart filtering
- `get_templates_for_task('webhook_processing')` - Curated by task
- `search_templates('slack notification')` - Text search
- `list_node_templates(['n8n-nodes-base.slack'])` - By node type
**Filtering strategies**:
- Beginners: `complexity: "simple"` + `maxSetupMinutes: 30`
- By role: `targetAudience: "marketers"` | `"developers"` | `"analysts"`
- By time: `maxSetupMinutes: 15` for quick wins
- By service: `requiredService: "openai"` for compatibility
3. **Node Discovery** (if no suitable template - parallel execution)
- Think deeply about requirements. Ask clarifying questions if unclear.
- `search_nodes({query: 'keyword', includeExamples: true})` - Parallel for multiple nodes
2. **Discovery Phase** - Find the right nodes:
- Think deeply about user request and the logic you are going to build to fulfill it. Ask follow-up questions to clarify the user's intent, if something is unclear. Then, proceed with the rest of your instructions.
- `search_nodes({query: 'keyword'})` - Search by functionality
- `list_nodes({category: 'trigger'})` - Browse by category
- `list_ai_tools()` - AI-capable nodes
- `list_ai_tools()` - See AI-capable nodes (remember: ANY node can be an AI tool!)
4. **Configuration Phase** (parallel for multiple nodes)
- `get_node_essentials(nodeType, {includeExamples: true})` - 10-20 key properties
3. **Configuration Phase** - Get node details efficiently:
- `get_node_essentials(nodeType)` - Start here! Only 10-20 essential properties
- `search_node_properties(nodeType, 'auth')` - Find specific properties
- `get_node_documentation(nodeType)` - Human-readable docs
- Show workflow architecture to user for approval before proceeding
- `get_node_for_task('send_email')` - Get pre-configured templates
- `get_node_documentation(nodeType)` - Human-readable docs when needed
- It is good common practice to show a visual representation of the workflow architecture to the user and asking for opinion, before moving forward.
5. **Validation Phase** (parallel for multiple nodes)
4. **Pre-Validation Phase** - Validate BEFORE building:
- `validate_node_minimal(nodeType, config)` - Quick required fields check
- `validate_node_operation(nodeType, config, 'runtime')` - Full validation with fixes
- Fix ALL errors before proceeding
- `validate_node_operation(nodeType, config, profile)` - Full operation-aware validation
- Fix any validation errors before proceeding
6. **Building Phase**
- If using template: `get_template(templateId, {mode: "full"})`
- **MANDATORY ATTRIBUTION**: "Based on template by **[author.name]** (@[username]). View at: [url]"
- Build from validated configurations
- ⚠️ EXPLICITLY set ALL parameters - never rely on defaults
5. **Building Phase** - Create the workflow:
- Use validated configurations from step 4
- Connect nodes with proper structure
- Add error handling
- Use n8n expressions: $json, $node["NodeName"].json
- Build in artifact (unless deploying to n8n instance)
- Add error handling where appropriate
- Use expressions like $json, $node["NodeName"].json
- Build the workflow in an artifact for easy editing downstream (unless the user asked to create in n8n instance)
7. **Workflow Validation** (before deployment)
- `validate_workflow(workflow)` - Complete validation
- `validate_workflow_connections(workflow)` - Structure check
- `validate_workflow_expressions(workflow)` - Expression validation
- Fix ALL issues before deployment
6. **Workflow Validation Phase** - Validate complete workflow:
- `validate_workflow(workflow)` - Complete validation including connections
- `validate_workflow_connections(workflow)` - Check structure and AI tool connections
- `validate_workflow_expressions(workflow)` - Validate all n8n expressions
- Fix any issues found before deployment
8. **Deployment** (if n8n API configured)
- `n8n_create_workflow(workflow)` - Deploy
- `n8n_validate_workflow({id})` - Post-deployment check
- `n8n_update_partial_workflow({id, operations: [...]})` - Batch updates
- `n8n_trigger_webhook_workflow()` - Test webhooks
7. **Deployment Phase** (if n8n API configured):
- `n8n_create_workflow(workflow)` - Deploy validated workflow
- `n8n_validate_workflow({id: 'workflow-id'})` - Post-deployment validation
- `n8n_update_partial_workflow()` - Make incremental updates using diffs
- `n8n_trigger_webhook_workflow()` - Test webhook workflows
## Critical Warnings
## Key Insights
### ⚠️ Never Trust Defaults
Default values cause runtime failures. Example:
```json
// ❌ FAILS at runtime
{resource: "message", operation: "post", text: "Hello"}
// ✅ WORKS - all parameters explicit
{resource: "message", operation: "post", select: "channel", channelId: "C123", text: "Hello"}
```
### ⚠️ Example Availability
`includeExamples: true` returns real configurations from workflow templates.
- Coverage varies by node popularity
- When no examples available, use `get_node_essentials` + `validate_node_minimal`
- **USE CODE NODE ONLY WHEN IT IS NECESSARY** - always prefer to use standard nodes over code node. Use code node only when you are sure you need it.
- **VALIDATE EARLY AND OFTEN** - Catch errors before they reach deployment
- **USE DIFF UPDATES** - Use n8n_update_partial_workflow for 80-90% token savings
- **ANY node can be an AI tool** - not just those with usableAsTool=true
- **Pre-validate configurations** - Use validate_node_minimal before building
- **Post-validate workflows** - Always validate complete workflows before deployment
- **Incremental updates** - Use diff operations for existing workflows
- **Test thoroughly** - Validate both locally and after deployment to n8n
## Validation Strategy
### Level 1 - Quick Check (before building)
`validate_node_minimal(nodeType, config)` - Required fields only (<100ms)
### Before Building:
1. validate_node_minimal() - Check required fields
2. validate_node_operation() - Full configuration validation
3. Fix all errors before proceeding
### Level 2 - Comprehensive (before building)
`validate_node_operation(nodeType, config, 'runtime')` - Full validation with fixes
### After Building:
1. validate_workflow() - Complete workflow validation
2. validate_workflow_connections() - Structure validation
3. validate_workflow_expressions() - Expression syntax check
### Level 3 - Complete (after building)
`validate_workflow(workflow)` - Connections, expressions, AI tools
### After Deployment:
1. n8n_validate_workflow({id}) - Validate deployed workflow
2. n8n_list_executions() - Monitor execution status
3. n8n_update_partial_workflow() - Fix issues using diffs
### Level 4 - Post-Deployment
1. `n8n_validate_workflow({id})` - Validate deployed workflow
2. `n8n_autofix_workflow({id})` - Auto-fix common errors
3. `n8n_list_executions()` - Monitor execution status
## Response Structure
## Response Format
### Initial Creation
```
[Silent tool execution in parallel]
Created workflow:
- Webhook trigger → Slack notification
- Configured: POST /webhook → #general channel
Validation: ✅ All checks passed
```
### Modifications
```
[Silent tool execution]
Updated workflow:
- Added error handling to HTTP node
- Fixed required Slack parameters
Changes validated successfully.
```
## Batch Operations
Use `n8n_update_partial_workflow` with multiple operations in a single call:
✅ GOOD - Batch multiple operations:
```json
n8n_update_partial_workflow({
id: "wf-123",
operations: [
{type: "updateNode", nodeId: "slack-1", changes: {...}},
{type: "updateNode", nodeId: "http-1", changes: {...}},
{type: "cleanStaleConnections"}
]
})
```
❌ BAD - Separate calls:
```json
n8n_update_partial_workflow({id: "wf-123", operations: [{...}]})
n8n_update_partial_workflow({id: "wf-123", operations: [{...}]})
```
### CRITICAL: addConnection Syntax
The `addConnection` operation requires **four separate string parameters**. Common mistakes cause misleading errors.
❌ WRONG - Object format (fails with "Expected string, received object"):
```json
{
"type": "addConnection",
"connection": {
"source": {"nodeId": "node-1", "outputIndex": 0},
"destination": {"nodeId": "node-2", "inputIndex": 0}
}
}
```
❌ WRONG - Combined string (fails with "Source node not found"):
```json
{
"type": "addConnection",
"source": "node-1:main:0",
"target": "node-2:main:0"
}
```
✅ CORRECT - Four separate string parameters:
```json
{
"type": "addConnection",
"source": "node-id-string",
"target": "target-node-id-string",
"sourcePort": "main",
"targetPort": "main"
}
```
**Reference**: [GitHub Issue #327](https://github.com/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp/issues/327)
### ⚠️ CRITICAL: IF Node Multi-Output Routing
IF nodes have **two outputs** (TRUE and FALSE). Use the **`branch` parameter** to route to the correct output:
✅ CORRECT - Route to TRUE branch (when condition is met):
```json
{
"type": "addConnection",
"source": "if-node-id",
"target": "success-handler-id",
"sourcePort": "main",
"targetPort": "main",
"branch": "true"
}
```
✅ CORRECT - Route to FALSE branch (when condition is NOT met):
```json
{
"type": "addConnection",
"source": "if-node-id",
"target": "failure-handler-id",
"sourcePort": "main",
"targetPort": "main",
"branch": "false"
}
```
**Common Pattern** - Complete IF node routing:
```json
n8n_update_partial_workflow({
id: "workflow-id",
operations: [
{type: "addConnection", source: "If Node", target: "True Handler", sourcePort: "main", targetPort: "main", branch: "true"},
{type: "addConnection", source: "If Node", target: "False Handler", sourcePort: "main", targetPort: "main", branch: "false"}
]
})
```
**Note**: Without the `branch` parameter, both connections may end up on the same output, causing logic errors!
### removeConnection Syntax
Use the same four-parameter format:
```json
{
"type": "removeConnection",
"source": "source-node-id",
"target": "target-node-id",
"sourcePort": "main",
"targetPort": "main"
}
```
1. **Discovery**: Show available nodes and options
2. **Pre-Validation**: Validate node configurations first
3. **Configuration**: Show only validated, working configs
4. **Building**: Construct workflow with validated components
5. **Workflow Validation**: Full workflow validation results
6. **Deployment**: Deploy only after all validations pass
7. **Post-Validation**: Verify deployment succeeded
## Example Workflow
### Template-First Approach
### 1. Discovery & Configuration
search_nodes({query: 'slack'})
get_node_essentials('n8n-nodes-base.slack')
```
// STEP 1: Template Discovery (parallel execution)
[Silent execution]
search_templates_by_metadata({
requiredService: 'slack',
complexity: 'simple',
targetAudience: 'marketers'
})
get_templates_for_task('slack_integration')
// STEP 2: Use template
get_template(templateId, {mode: 'full'})
validate_workflow(workflow)
// Response after all tools complete:
"Found template by **David Ashby** (@cfomodz).
View at: https://n8n.io/workflows/2414
Validation: ✅ All checks passed"
```
### Building from Scratch (if no template)
```
// STEP 1: Discovery (parallel execution)
[Silent execution]
search_nodes({query: 'slack', includeExamples: true})
list_nodes({category: 'communication'})
// STEP 2: Configuration (parallel execution)
[Silent execution]
get_node_essentials('n8n-nodes-base.slack', {includeExamples: true})
get_node_essentials('n8n-nodes-base.webhook', {includeExamples: true})
// STEP 3: Validation (parallel execution)
[Silent execution]
validate_node_minimal('n8n-nodes-base.slack', config)
### 2. Pre-Validation
validate_node_minimal('n8n-nodes-base.slack', {resource:'message', operation:'send'})
validate_node_operation('n8n-nodes-base.slack', fullConfig, 'runtime')
// STEP 4: Build
// Construct workflow with validated configs
// ⚠️ Set ALL parameters explicitly
### 3. Build Workflow
// Create workflow JSON with validated configs
// STEP 5: Validate
[Silent execution]
### 4. Workflow Validation
validate_workflow(workflowJson)
validate_workflow_connections(workflowJson)
validate_workflow_expressions(workflowJson)
// Response after all tools complete:
"Created workflow: Webhook → Slack
Validation: ✅ Passed"
```
### 5. Deploy (if configured)
n8n_create_workflow(validatedWorkflow)
n8n_validate_workflow({id: createdWorkflowId})
### Batch Updates
```json
// ONE call with multiple operations
### 6. Update Using Diffs
n8n_update_partial_workflow({
id: "wf-123",
workflowId: id,
operations: [
{type: "updateNode", nodeId: "slack-1", changes: {position: [100, 200]}},
{type: "updateNode", nodeId: "http-1", changes: {position: [300, 200]}},
{type: "cleanStaleConnections"}
{type: 'updateNode', nodeId: 'slack1', changes: {position: [100, 200]}}
]
})
```
## Important Rules
### Core Behavior
1. **Silent execution** - No commentary between tools
2. **Parallel by default** - Execute independent operations simultaneously
3. **Templates first** - Always check before building (2,500+ available)
4. **Multi-level validation** - Quick check → Full validation → Workflow validation
5. **Never trust defaults** - Explicitly configure ALL parameters
- ALWAYS validate before building
- ALWAYS validate after building
- NEVER deploy unvalidated workflows
- USE diff operations for updates (80-90% token savings)
- STATE validation results clearly
- FIX all errors before proceeding
```
### Attribution & Credits
- **MANDATORY TEMPLATE ATTRIBUTION**: Share author name, username, and n8n.io link
- **Template validation** - Always validate before deployment (may need updates)
### Performance
- **Batch operations** - Use diff operations with multiple changes in one call
- **Parallel execution** - Search, validate, and configure simultaneously
- **Template metadata** - Use smart filtering for faster discovery
### Code Node Usage
- **Avoid when possible** - Prefer standard nodes
- **Only when necessary** - Use code node as last resort
- **AI tool capability** - ANY node can be an AI tool (not just marked ones)
### Most Popular n8n Nodes (for get_node_essentials):

# CI Test Infrastructure - Known Issues
## Integration Test Failures for External Contributor PRs
### Issue Summary
Integration tests fail for external contributor PRs with "No response from n8n server" errors, despite the code changes being correct. This is a **test infrastructure issue**, not a code quality issue.
### Root Cause
1. **GitHub Actions Security**: External contributor PRs don't get access to repository secrets (`N8N_API_URL`, `N8N_API_KEY`, etc.)
2. **MSW Mock Server**: Mock Service Worker (MSW) is not properly intercepting HTTP requests in the CI environment
3. **Test Configuration**: Integration tests expect `http://localhost:3001/mock-api` but the mock server isn't responding
### Evidence
From CI logs (PR #343):
```
[CI-DEBUG] Global setup complete, N8N_API_URL: http://localhost:3001/mock-api
❌ No response from n8n server (repeated 60+ times across 20 tests)
```
The tests ARE using the correct mock URL, but MSW isn't intercepting the requests.
### Why This Happens
**For External PRs:**
- GitHub Actions doesn't expose repository secrets for security reasons
- Prevents malicious PRs from exfiltrating secrets
- MSW setup runs but requests don't get intercepted in CI
**Test Configuration:**
- `.env.test` line 19: `N8N_API_URL=http://localhost:3001/mock-api`
- `.env.test` line 67: `MSW_ENABLED=true`
- CI workflow line 75-80: Secrets set but empty for external PRs
### Impact
-**Code Quality**: NOT affected - the actual code changes are correct
-**Local Testing**: Works fine - MSW intercepts requests locally
-**CI for External PRs**: Integration tests fail (infrastructure issue)
-**CI for Internal PRs**: Works fine (has access to secrets)
### Current Workarounds
1. **For Maintainers**: Use `--admin` flag to merge despite failing tests when code is verified correct
2. **For Contributors**: Run tests locally where MSW works properly
3. **For CI**: Unit tests pass (don't require n8n API), integration tests fail
### Files Affected
- `tests/integration/setup/integration-setup.ts` - MSW server setup
- `tests/setup/msw-setup.ts` - MSW configuration
- `tests/mocks/n8n-api/handlers.ts` - Mock request handlers
- `.github/workflows/test.yml` - CI configuration
- `.env.test` - Test environment configuration
### Potential Solutions (Not Implemented)
1. **Separate Unit/Integration Runs**
- Run integration tests only for internal PRs
- Skip integration tests for external PRs
- Rely on unit tests for external PR validation
2. **MSW CI Debugging**
- Add extensive logging to MSW setup
- Check if MSW server actually starts in CI
- Verify request interception is working
3. **Mock Server Process**
- Start actual HTTP server in CI instead of MSW
- More reliable but adds complexity
- Would require test infrastructure refactoring
4. **Public Test Instance**
- Use publicly accessible test n8n instance
- Exposes test data, security concerns
- Would work for external PRs
### Decision
**Status**: Documented but not fixed
**Rationale**:
- Integration test infrastructure refactoring is separate concern from code quality
- External PRs are relatively rare compared to internal development
- Unit tests provide sufficient coverage for most changes
- Maintainers can verify integration tests locally before merging
### Testing Strategy
**For External Contributor PRs:**
1. ✅ Unit tests must pass
2. ✅ TypeScript compilation must pass
3. ✅ Build must succeed
4. ⚠️ Integration test failures are expected (infrastructure issue)
5. ✅ Maintainer verifies locally before merge
**For Internal PRs:**
1. ✅ All tests must pass (unit + integration)
2. ✅ Full CI validation

env = { "MCP_MODE" = "stdio", "LOG_LEVEL" = "error", "DISABLE_CONSOLE_OUTPUT" = "true" }
```
### Full configuration (with n8n management tools):
```toml
[mcp_servers.n8n]
command = "npx"
args = ["n8n-mcp"]
env = { "MCP_MODE" = "stdio", "LOG_LEVEL" = "error", "DISABLE_CONSOLE_OUTPUT" = "true", "N8N_API_URL" = "https://your-n8n-instance.com", "N8N_API_KEY" = "your-api-key" }
```
Make sure to replace `https://your-n8n-instance.com` with your actual n8n URL and `your-api-key` with your n8n API key.

# Flexible Instance Configuration
## Overview
The Flexible Instance Configuration feature enables n8n-mcp to serve multiple users with different n8n instances dynamically, without requiring separate deployments for each user. This feature is designed for scenarios where n8n-mcp is hosted centrally and needs to connect to different n8n instances based on runtime context.
## Architecture
### Core Components
1. **InstanceContext Interface** (`src/types/instance-context.ts`)
- Runtime configuration container for instance-specific settings
- Optional fields for backward compatibility
- Comprehensive validation with security checks
2. **Dual-Mode API Client**
- **Singleton Mode**: Uses environment variables (backward compatible)
- **Instance Mode**: Uses runtime context for multi-instance support
- Automatic fallback between modes
3. **LRU Cache with Security**
- SHA-256 hashed cache keys for security
- 30-minute TTL with automatic cleanup
- Maximum 100 concurrent instances
- Secure dispose callbacks without logging sensitive data
4. **Session Management**
- HTTP server tracks session context
- Each session can have different instance configuration
- Automatic cleanup on session end
## Configuration
### Environment Variables
New environment variables for cache configuration:
- `INSTANCE_CACHE_MAX` - Maximum number of cached instances (default: 100, min: 1, max: 10000)
- `INSTANCE_CACHE_TTL_MINUTES` - Cache TTL in minutes (default: 30, min: 1, max: 1440/24 hours)
Example:
```bash
# Increase cache size for high-volume deployments
export INSTANCE_CACHE_MAX=500
export INSTANCE_CACHE_TTL_MINUTES=60
```
### InstanceContext Structure
```typescript
interface InstanceContext {
n8nApiUrl?: string; // n8n instance URL
n8nApiKey?: string; // API key for authentication
n8nApiTimeout?: number; // Request timeout in ms (default: 30000)
n8nApiMaxRetries?: number; // Max retry attempts (default: 3)
instanceId?: string; // Unique instance identifier
sessionId?: string; // Session identifier
metadata?: Record<string, any>; // Additional metadata
}
```
### Validation Rules
1. **URL Validation**:
- Must be valid HTTP/HTTPS URL
- No file://, javascript:, or other dangerous protocols
- Proper URL format with protocol and host
2. **API Key Validation**:
- Non-empty string required when provided
- No placeholder values (e.g., "YOUR_API_KEY")
- Case-insensitive placeholder detection
3. **Numeric Validation**:
- Timeout must be positive number (>0)
- Max retries must be non-negative (≥0)
- No Infinity or NaN values
## Usage Examples
### Basic Usage
```typescript
import { getN8nApiClient } from './mcp/handlers-n8n-manager';
import { InstanceContext } from './types/instance-context';
// Create context for a specific instance
const context: InstanceContext = {
n8nApiUrl: 'https://customer1.n8n.cloud',
n8nApiKey: 'customer1-api-key',
instanceId: 'customer1'
};
// Get client for this instance
const client = getN8nApiClient(context);
if (client) {
// Use client for API operations
const workflows = await client.getWorkflows();
}
```
### HTTP Headers for Multi-Tenant Support
When using the HTTP server mode, clients can pass instance-specific configuration via HTTP headers:
```bash
# Example curl request with instance headers
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
-H "Authorization: Bearer your-auth-token" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-N8n-Url: https://instance1.n8n.cloud" \
-H "X-N8n-Key: instance1-api-key" \
-H "X-Instance-Id: instance-1" \
-H "X-Session-Id: session-123" \
-d '{"method": "n8n_list_workflows", "params": {}, "id": 1}'
```
#### Supported Headers
- **X-N8n-Url**: The n8n instance URL (e.g., `https://instance.n8n.cloud`)
- **X-N8n-Key**: The API key for authentication with the n8n instance
- **X-Instance-Id**: A unique identifier for the instance (optional, for tracking)
- **X-Session-Id**: A session identifier (optional, for session tracking)
#### Header Extraction Logic
1. If either `X-N8n-Url` or `X-N8n-Key` header is present, an instance context is created
2. All headers are extracted and passed to the MCP server
3. The server uses the instance-specific configuration instead of environment variables
4. If no headers are present, the server falls back to environment variables (backward compatible)
#### Example: JavaScript Client
```javascript
const headers = {
'Authorization': 'Bearer your-auth-token',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'X-N8n-Url': 'https://customer1.n8n.cloud',
'X-N8n-Key': 'customer1-api-key',
'X-Instance-Id': 'customer-1',
'X-Session-Id': 'session-456'
};
const response = await fetch('http://localhost:3000/mcp', {
method: 'POST',
headers: headers,
body: JSON.stringify({
method: 'n8n_list_workflows',
params: {},
id: 1
})
});
const result = await response.json();
```
### HTTP Server Integration
```typescript
// In HTTP request handler
app.post('/mcp', (req, res) => {
const context: InstanceContext = {
n8nApiUrl: req.headers['x-n8n-url'],
n8nApiKey: req.headers['x-n8n-key'],
sessionId: req.sessionID
};
// Context passed to handlers
const result = await handleRequest(req.body, context);
res.json(result);
});
```
### Validation Example
```typescript
import { validateInstanceContext } from './types/instance-context';
const context: InstanceContext = {
n8nApiUrl: 'https://api.n8n.cloud',
n8nApiKey: 'valid-key'
};
const validation = validateInstanceContext(context);
if (!validation.valid) {
console.error('Validation errors:', validation.errors);
} else {
// Context is valid, proceed
const client = getN8nApiClient(context);
}
```
## Security Features
### 1. Cache Key Hashing
- All cache keys use SHA-256 hashing with memoization
- Prevents sensitive data exposure in logs
- Example: `sha256(url:key:instance)` → 64-char hex string
- Memoization cache limited to 1000 entries
### 2. Enhanced Input Validation
- Field-specific error messages with detailed reasons
- URL protocol restrictions (HTTP/HTTPS only)
- API key placeholder detection (case-insensitive)
- Numeric range validation with specific error messages
- Example: "Invalid n8nApiUrl: ftp://example.com - URL must use HTTP or HTTPS protocol"
### 3. Secure Logging
- Only first 8 characters of cache keys logged
- No sensitive data in debug logs
- URL sanitization (domain only, no paths)
- Configuration fallback logging for debugging
### 4. Memory Management
- Configurable LRU cache with automatic eviction
- TTL-based expiration (configurable, default 30 minutes)
- Dispose callbacks for cleanup
- Maximum cache size limits with bounds checking
### 5. Concurrency Protection
- Mutex-based locking for cache operations
- Prevents duplicate client creation
- Simple lock checking with timeout
- Thread-safe cache operations
## Performance Optimization
### Cache Strategy
- **Max Size**: Configurable via `INSTANCE_CACHE_MAX` (default: 100)
- **TTL**: Configurable via `INSTANCE_CACHE_TTL_MINUTES` (default: 30)
- **Update on Access**: Age refreshed on each use
- **Eviction**: Least Recently Used (LRU) policy
- **Memoization**: Hash creation uses memoization for frequently used keys
### Cache Metrics
The system tracks comprehensive metrics:
- Cache hits and misses
- Hit rate percentage
- Eviction count
- Current size vs maximum size
- Operation timing
Retrieve metrics using:
```typescript
import { getInstanceCacheStatistics } from './mcp/handlers-n8n-manager';
console.log(getInstanceCacheStatistics());
```
### Benefits
- **Performance**: ~12ms average response time
- **Memory Efficient**: Minimal footprint per instance
- **Thread Safe**: Mutex protection for concurrent operations
- **Auto Cleanup**: Unused instances automatically evicted
- **No Memory Leaks**: Proper disposal callbacks
## Backward Compatibility
The feature maintains 100% backward compatibility:
1. **Environment Variables Still Work**:
- If no context provided, falls back to env vars
- Existing deployments continue working unchanged
2. **Optional Parameters**:
- All context fields are optional
- Missing fields use defaults or env vars
3. **API Unchanged**:
- Same handler signatures with optional context
- No breaking changes to existing code
## Testing
Comprehensive test coverage ensures reliability:
```bash
# Run all flexible instance tests
npm test -- tests/unit/flexible-instance-security-advanced.test.ts
npm test -- tests/unit/mcp/lru-cache-behavior.test.ts
npm test -- tests/unit/types/instance-context-coverage.test.ts
npm test -- tests/unit/mcp/handlers-n8n-manager-simple.test.ts
```
### Test Coverage Areas
- Input validation edge cases
- Cache behavior and eviction
- Security (hashing, sanitization)
- Session management
- Memory leak prevention
- Concurrent access patterns
## Migration Guide
### For Existing Deployments
No changes required - environment variables continue to work.
### For Multi-Instance Support
1. **Update HTTP Server** (if using HTTP mode):
```typescript
// Add context extraction from headers
const context = extractInstanceContext(req);
```
2. **Pass Context to Handlers**:
```typescript
// Old way (still works)
await handleListWorkflows(params);
// New way (with instance context)
await handleListWorkflows(params, context);
```
3. **Configure Clients** to send instance information:
```typescript
// Client sends instance info in headers
headers: {
'X-N8n-Url': 'https://instance.n8n.cloud',
'X-N8n-Key': 'api-key',
'X-Instance-Id': 'customer-123'
}
```
## Monitoring
### Metrics to Track
- Cache hit/miss ratio
- Instance count in cache
- Average TTL utilization
- Memory usage per instance
- API client creation rate
### Debug Logging
Enable debug logs to monitor cache behavior:
```bash
LOG_LEVEL=debug npm start
```
## Limitations
1. **Maximum Instances**: 100 concurrent instances (configurable)
2. **TTL**: 30-minute cache lifetime (configurable)
3. **Memory**: ~1MB per cached instance (estimated)
4. **Validation**: Strict validation may reject edge cases
## Security Considerations
1. **Never Log Sensitive Data**: API keys are never logged
2. **Hash All Identifiers**: Use SHA-256 for cache keys
3. **Validate All Input**: Comprehensive validation before use
4. **Limit Resources**: Cache size and TTL limits
5. **Clean Up Properly**: Dispose callbacks for resource cleanup
## Future Enhancements
Potential improvements for future versions:
1. **Configurable Cache Settings**: Runtime cache size/TTL configuration
2. **Instance Metrics**: Per-instance usage tracking
3. **Rate Limiting**: Per-instance rate limits
4. **Instance Groups**: Logical grouping of instances
5. **Persistent Cache**: Optional Redis/database backing
6. **Instance Discovery**: Automatic instance detection
## Support
For issues or questions about flexible instance configuration:
1. Check validation errors for specific problems
2. Enable debug logging for detailed diagnostics
3. Review test files for usage examples
4. Open an issue on GitHub with details

# Library Usage Guide - Multi-Tenant / Hosted Deployments
This guide covers using n8n-mcp as a library dependency for building multi-tenant hosted services.
## Overview
n8n-mcp can be used as a Node.js library to build multi-tenant backends that provide MCP services to multiple users or instances. The package exports all necessary components for integration into your existing services.
## Installation
```bash
npm install n8n-mcp
```
## Core Concepts
### Library Mode vs CLI Mode
- **CLI Mode** (default): Single-player usage via `npx n8n-mcp` or Docker
- **Library Mode**: Multi-tenant usage by importing and using the `N8NMCPEngine` class
### Instance Context
The `InstanceContext` type allows you to pass per-request configuration to the MCP engine:
```typescript
interface InstanceContext {
// Instance-specific n8n API configuration
n8nApiUrl?: string;
n8nApiKey?: string;
n8nApiTimeout?: number;
n8nApiMaxRetries?: number;
// Instance identification
instanceId?: string;
sessionId?: string;
// Extensible metadata
metadata?: Record<string, any>;
}
```
## Basic Example
```typescript
import express from 'express';
import { N8NMCPEngine } from 'n8n-mcp';
const app = express();
const mcpEngine = new N8NMCPEngine({
sessionTimeout: 3600000, // 1 hour
logLevel: 'info'
});
// Handle MCP requests with per-user context
app.post('/mcp', async (req, res) => {
const instanceContext = {
n8nApiUrl: req.user.n8nUrl,
n8nApiKey: req.user.n8nApiKey,
instanceId: req.user.id
};
await mcpEngine.processRequest(req, res, instanceContext);
});
app.listen(3000);
```
## Multi-Tenant Backend Example
This example shows a complete multi-tenant implementation with user authentication and instance management:
```typescript
import express from 'express';
import { N8NMCPEngine, InstanceContext, validateInstanceContext } from 'n8n-mcp';
const app = express();
const mcpEngine = new N8NMCPEngine({
sessionTimeout: 3600000, // 1 hour
logLevel: 'info'
});
// Start MCP engine
await mcpEngine.start();
// Authentication middleware
const authenticate = async (req, res, next) => {
const token = req.headers.authorization?.replace('Bearer ', '');
if (!token) {
return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Unauthorized' });
}
// Verify token and attach user to request
req.user = await getUserFromToken(token);
next();
};
// Get instance configuration from database
const getInstanceConfig = async (instanceId: string, userId: string) => {
// Your database logic here
const instance = await db.instances.findOne({
where: { id: instanceId, userId }
});
if (!instance) {
throw new Error('Instance not found');
}
return {
n8nApiUrl: instance.n8nUrl,
n8nApiKey: await decryptApiKey(instance.encryptedApiKey),
instanceId: instance.id
};
};
// MCP endpoint with per-instance context
app.post('/api/instances/:instanceId/mcp', authenticate, async (req, res) => {
try {
// Get instance configuration
const instance = await getInstanceConfig(req.params.instanceId, req.user.id);
// Create instance context
const context: InstanceContext = {
n8nApiUrl: instance.n8nApiUrl,
n8nApiKey: instance.n8nApiKey,
instanceId: instance.instanceId,
metadata: {
userId: req.user.id,
userAgent: req.headers['user-agent'],
ip: req.ip
}
};
// Validate context before processing
const validation = validateInstanceContext(context);
if (!validation.valid) {
return res.status(400).json({
error: 'Invalid instance configuration',
details: validation.errors
});
}
// Process request with instance context
await mcpEngine.processRequest(req, res, context);
} catch (error) {
console.error('MCP request error:', error);
res.status(500).json({ error: 'Internal server error' });
}
});
// Health endpoint
app.get('/health', async (req, res) => {
const health = await mcpEngine.healthCheck();
res.status(health.status === 'healthy' ? 200 : 503).json(health);
});
// Graceful shutdown
process.on('SIGTERM', async () => {
await mcpEngine.shutdown();
process.exit(0);
});
app.listen(3000);
```
## API Reference
### N8NMCPEngine
#### Constructor
```typescript
new N8NMCPEngine(options?: {
sessionTimeout?: number; // Session TTL in ms (default: 1800000 = 30min)
logLevel?: 'error' | 'warn' | 'info' | 'debug'; // Default: 'info'
})
```
#### Methods
##### `async processRequest(req, res, context?)`
Process a single MCP request with optional instance context.
**Parameters:**
- `req`: Express request object
- `res`: Express response object
- `context` (optional): InstanceContext with per-instance configuration
**Example:**
```typescript
const context: InstanceContext = {
n8nApiUrl: 'https://instance1.n8n.cloud',
n8nApiKey: 'instance1-key',
instanceId: 'tenant-123'
};
await engine.processRequest(req, res, context);
```
##### `async healthCheck()`
Get engine health status for monitoring.
**Returns:** `EngineHealth`
```typescript
{
status: 'healthy' | 'unhealthy';
uptime: number; // seconds
sessionActive: boolean;
memoryUsage: {
used: number;
total: number;
unit: string;
};
version: string;
}
```
**Example:**
```typescript
app.get('/health', async (req, res) => {
const health = await engine.healthCheck();
res.status(health.status === 'healthy' ? 200 : 503).json(health);
});
```
##### `getSessionInfo()`
Get current session information for debugging.
**Returns:**
```typescript
{
active: boolean;
sessionId?: string;
age?: number; // milliseconds
sessions?: {
total: number;
active: number;
expired: number;
max: number;
sessionIds: string[];
};
}
```
##### `async start()`
Start the engine (for standalone mode). Not needed when using `processRequest()` directly.
##### `async shutdown()`
Graceful shutdown for service lifecycle management.
**Example:**
```typescript
process.on('SIGTERM', async () => {
await engine.shutdown();
process.exit(0);
});
```
### Types
#### InstanceContext
Configuration for a specific user instance:
```typescript
interface InstanceContext {
n8nApiUrl?: string;
n8nApiKey?: string;
n8nApiTimeout?: number;
n8nApiMaxRetries?: number;
instanceId?: string;
sessionId?: string;
metadata?: Record<string, any>;
}
```
#### Validation Functions
##### `validateInstanceContext(context: InstanceContext)`
Validate and sanitize instance context.
**Returns:**
```typescript
{
valid: boolean;
errors?: string[];
}
```
**Example:**
```typescript
import { validateInstanceContext } from 'n8n-mcp';
const validation = validateInstanceContext(context);
if (!validation.valid) {
console.error('Invalid context:', validation.errors);
}
```
##### `isInstanceContext(obj: any)`
Type guard to check if an object is a valid InstanceContext.
**Example:**
```typescript
import { isInstanceContext } from 'n8n-mcp';
if (isInstanceContext(req.body.context)) {
// TypeScript knows this is InstanceContext
await engine.processRequest(req, res, req.body.context);
}
```
## Session Management
### Session Strategies
The MCP engine supports flexible session ID formats:
- **UUIDv4**: Internal n8n-mcp format (default)
- **Instance-prefixed**: `instance-{userId}-{hash}-{uuid}` for multi-tenant isolation
- **Custom formats**: Any non-empty string for mcp-remote and other proxies
Session validation happens via transport lookup, not format validation. This ensures compatibility with all MCP clients.
### Multi-Tenant Configuration
Set these environment variables for multi-tenant mode:
```bash
# Enable multi-tenant mode
ENABLE_MULTI_TENANT=true
# Session strategy: "instance" (default) or "shared"
MULTI_TENANT_SESSION_STRATEGY=instance
```
**Session Strategies:**
- **instance** (recommended): Each tenant gets isolated sessions
- Session ID: `instance-{instanceId}-{configHash}-{uuid}`
- Better isolation and security
- Easier debugging per tenant
- **shared**: Multiple tenants share sessions with context switching
- More efficient for high tenant count
- Requires careful context management
## Security Considerations
### API Key Management
Always encrypt API keys server-side:
```typescript
import { createCipheriv, createDecipheriv } from 'crypto';
// Encrypt before storing
const encryptApiKey = (apiKey: string) => {
const cipher = createCipheriv('aes-256-gcm', encryptionKey, iv);
return cipher.update(apiKey, 'utf8', 'hex') + cipher.final('hex');
};
// Decrypt before using
const decryptApiKey = (encrypted: string) => {
const decipher = createDecipheriv('aes-256-gcm', encryptionKey, iv);
return decipher.update(encrypted, 'hex', 'utf8') + decipher.final('utf8');
};
// Use decrypted key in context
const context: InstanceContext = {
n8nApiKey: await decryptApiKey(instance.encryptedApiKey),
// ...
};
```
### Input Validation
Always validate instance context before processing:
```typescript
import { validateInstanceContext } from 'n8n-mcp';
const validation = validateInstanceContext(context);
if (!validation.valid) {
throw new Error(`Invalid context: ${validation.errors?.join(', ')}`);
}
```
### Rate Limiting
Implement rate limiting per tenant:
```typescript
import rateLimit from 'express-rate-limit';
const limiter = rateLimit({
windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
max: 100, // limit each IP to 100 requests per windowMs
keyGenerator: (req) => req.user?.id || req.ip
});
app.post('/api/instances/:instanceId/mcp', authenticate, limiter, async (req, res) => {
// ...
});
```
## Error Handling
Always wrap MCP requests in try-catch blocks:
```typescript
app.post('/api/instances/:instanceId/mcp', authenticate, async (req, res) => {
try {
const context = await getInstanceConfig(req.params.instanceId, req.user.id);
await mcpEngine.processRequest(req, res, context);
} catch (error) {
console.error('MCP error:', error);
// Don't leak internal errors to clients
if (error.message.includes('not found')) {
return res.status(404).json({ error: 'Instance not found' });
}
res.status(500).json({ error: 'Internal server error' });
}
});
```
## Monitoring
### Health Checks
Set up periodic health checks:
```typescript
setInterval(async () => {
const health = await mcpEngine.healthCheck();
if (health.status === 'unhealthy') {
console.error('MCP engine unhealthy:', health);
// Alert your monitoring system
}
// Log metrics
console.log('MCP engine metrics:', {
uptime: health.uptime,
memory: health.memoryUsage,
sessionActive: health.sessionActive
});
}, 60000); // Every minute
```
### Session Monitoring
Track active sessions:
```typescript
app.get('/admin/sessions', authenticate, async (req, res) => {
if (!req.user.isAdmin) {
return res.status(403).json({ error: 'Forbidden' });
}
const sessionInfo = mcpEngine.getSessionInfo();
res.json(sessionInfo);
});
```
## Testing
### Unit Testing
```typescript
import { N8NMCPEngine, InstanceContext } from 'n8n-mcp';
describe('MCP Engine', () => {
let engine: N8NMCPEngine;
beforeEach(() => {
engine = new N8NMCPEngine({ logLevel: 'error' });
});
afterEach(async () => {
await engine.shutdown();
});
it('should process request with context', async () => {
const context: InstanceContext = {
n8nApiUrl: 'https://test.n8n.io',
n8nApiKey: 'test-key',
instanceId: 'test-instance'
};
const mockReq = createMockRequest();
const mockRes = createMockResponse();
await engine.processRequest(mockReq, mockRes, context);
expect(mockRes.status).toBe(200);
});
});
```
### Integration Testing
```typescript
import request from 'supertest';
import { createApp } from './app';
describe('Multi-tenant MCP API', () => {
let app;
let authToken;
beforeAll(async () => {
app = await createApp();
authToken = await getTestAuthToken();
});
it('should handle MCP request for instance', async () => {
const response = await request(app)
.post('/api/instances/test-instance/mcp')
.set('Authorization', `Bearer ${authToken}`)
.send({
jsonrpc: '2.0',
method: 'initialize',
params: {
protocolVersion: '2024-11-05',
capabilities: {}
},
id: 1
});
expect(response.status).toBe(200);
expect(response.body.result).toBeDefined();
});
});
```
## Deployment Considerations

## Examples
### Complete Multi-Tenant SaaS Example
For a complete implementation example, see:
- [n8n-mcp-backend](https://github.com/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp-backend) - Full hosted service implementation
### Migration from Single-Player
If you're migrating from single-player (CLI/Docker) to multi-tenant:
1. **Keep backward compatibility** - Use environment fallback:
```typescript
const context: InstanceContext = {
n8nApiUrl: instanceUrl || process.env.N8N_API_URL,
n8nApiKey: instanceKey || process.env.N8N_API_KEY,
instanceId: instanceId || 'default'
};
```
2. **Gradual rollout** - Start with a feature flag:
```typescript
const isMultiTenant = process.env.ENABLE_MULTI_TENANT === 'true';
if (isMultiTenant) {
const context = await getInstanceConfig(req.params.instanceId);
await engine.processRequest(req, res, context);
} else {
// Legacy single-player mode
await engine.processRequest(req, res);
}
```
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
#### Module Resolution Errors
If you see `Cannot find module 'n8n-mcp'`:
```bash
# Clear node_modules and reinstall
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install
# Verify package has types field
npm info n8n-mcp
# Check TypeScript can resolve it
npx tsc --noEmit
```
#### Session ID Validation Errors
If you see `Invalid session ID format` errors:
- Ensure you're using n8n-mcp v2.18.9 or later
- Session IDs can be any non-empty string
- No need to generate UUIDs - use your own format
#### Memory Leaks
If memory usage grows over time:
```typescript
// Ensure proper cleanup
process.on('SIGTERM', async () => {
await engine.shutdown();
process.exit(0);
});
// Monitor session count
const sessionInfo = engine.getSessionInfo();
console.log('Active sessions:', sessionInfo.sessions?.active);
```

# Issue #90: "propertyValues[itemName] is not iterable" Error - Research Findings
## Executive Summary
The error "propertyValues[itemName] is not iterable" occurs when AI agents create workflows with incorrect data structures for n8n nodes that use `fixedCollection` properties. This primarily affects Switch Node v2, If Node, and Filter Node. The error prevents workflows from loading in the n8n UI, resulting in empty canvases.
## Root Cause Analysis
### 1. Data Structure Mismatch
The error occurs when n8n's validation engine expects an iterable array but encounters a non-iterable object. This happens with nodes using `fixedCollection` type properties.
**Incorrect Structure (causes error):**
```json
{
"rules": {
"conditions": {
"values": [
{
"value1": "={{$json.status}}",
"operation": "equals",
"value2": "active"
}
]
}
}
}
```
**Correct Structure:**
```json
{
"rules": {
"conditions": [
{
"value1": "={{$json.status}}",
"operation": "equals",
"value2": "active"
}
]
}
}
```
### 2. Affected Nodes
Based on the research and issue comments, the following nodes are affected:
1. **Switch Node v2** (`n8n-nodes-base.switch` with typeVersion: 2)
- Uses `rules` parameter with `conditions` fixedCollection
- v3 doesn't have this issue due to restructured schema
2. **If Node** (`n8n-nodes-base.if` with typeVersion: 1)
- Uses `conditions` parameter with nested conditions array
- Similar structure to Switch v2
3. **Filter Node** (`n8n-nodes-base.filter`)
- Uses `conditions` parameter
- Same fixedCollection pattern
### 3. Why AI Agents Create Incorrect Structures
1. **Training Data Issues**: AI models may have been trained on outdated or incorrect n8n workflow examples
2. **Nested Object Inference**: AI tends to create unnecessarily nested structures when it sees collection-type parameters
3. **Legacy Format Confusion**: Mixing v2 and v3 Switch node formats
4. **Schema Misinterpretation**: The term "fixedCollection" may lead AI to create object wrappers
## Current Impact
From issue #90 comments:
- Multiple users experiencing the issue
- Workflows fail to load completely (empty canvas)
- Users resort to using Switch Node v3 or direct API calls
- The issue appears in "most MCPs" according to user feedback
## Recommended Actions
### 1. Immediate Validation Enhancement
Add specific validation for fixedCollection properties in the workflow validator:
```typescript
// In workflow-validator.ts or enhanced-config-validator.ts
function validateFixedCollectionParameters(node, result) {
const problematicNodes = {
'n8n-nodes-base.switch': { version: 2, fields: ['rules'] },
'n8n-nodes-base.if': { version: 1, fields: ['conditions'] },
'n8n-nodes-base.filter': { version: 1, fields: ['conditions'] }
};
const nodeConfig = problematicNodes[node.type];
if (nodeConfig && node.typeVersion === nodeConfig.version) {
// Validate structure
}
}
```
### 2. Enhanced MCP Tool Validation
Update the validation tools to detect and prevent this specific error pattern:
1. **In `validate_node_operation` tool**: Add checks for fixedCollection structures
2. **In `validate_workflow` tool**: Include specific validation for Switch/If nodes
3. **In `n8n_create_workflow` tool**: Pre-validate parameters before submission
### 3. AI-Friendly Examples
Update workflow examples to show correct structures:
```typescript
// In workflow-examples.ts
export const SWITCH_NODE_EXAMPLE = {
name: "Switch",
type: "n8n-nodes-base.switch",
typeVersion: 3, // Prefer v3 over v2
parameters: {
// Correct v3 structure
}
};
```
### 4. Migration Strategy
For existing workflows with Switch v2:
1. Detect Switch v2 nodes in validation
2. Suggest migration to v3
3. Provide automatic conversion utility
### 5. Documentation Updates
1. Add warnings about fixedCollection structures in tool documentation
2. Include specific examples of correct vs incorrect structures
3. Document the Switch v2 to v3 migration path
## Proposed Implementation Priority
1. **High Priority**: Add validation to prevent creation of invalid structures
2. **High Priority**: Update existing validation tools to catch this error
3. **Medium Priority**: Add auto-fix capabilities to correct structures
4. **Medium Priority**: Update examples and documentation
5. **Low Priority**: Create migration utilities for v2 to v3
## Testing Strategy
1. Create test cases for each affected node type
2. Test both correct and incorrect structures
3. Verify validation catches all variants of the error
4. Test auto-fix suggestions work correctly
## Success Metrics
- Zero instances of "propertyValues[itemName] is not iterable" in newly created workflows
- Clear error messages that guide users to correct structures
- Successful validation of all Switch/If node configurations before workflow creation
## Next Steps
1. Implement validation enhancements in the workflow validator
2. Update MCP tools to include these validations
3. Add comprehensive tests
4. Update documentation with clear examples
5. Consider adding a migration tool for existing workflows

description TEXT,
-- Node information
nodes_used TEXT, -- JSON array: ["n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest", ...]
workflow_json_compressed TEXT, -- Base64 encoded gzip of full workflow
-- Metadata (100% coverage)

);
```
### 4. Real Configuration Examples
#### HTTP Request Node Configurations
**Simple URL fetch**:
```json
{
"url": "https://api.example.com/data",
"options": {}
}
```
**With authentication**:
```json
{
"url": "=https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{{ $json.data.id }}/result",
"options": {},
"authentication": "genericCredentialType",
"genericAuthType": "httpHeaderAuth"
}
```
**Complex expressions**:
```json
{
"url": "=https://image.pollinations.ai/prompt/{{$('Social Media Content Factory').item.json.output.description.replaceAll(' ','-').replaceAll(',','').replaceAll('.','') }}",
"options": {}
}
```
#### Webhook Node Configurations
**Basic webhook**:
```json
{
"path": "ytube",
"options": {},
"httpMethod": "POST",
"responseMode": "responseNode"
}
```
**With binary data**:
```json
{
"path": "your-endpoint",
"options": {
"binaryPropertyName": "data"
},
"httpMethod": "POST"
}
```
### 5. AI-Generated Metadata
Each template has structured metadata including:
```json
{
"categories": ["automation", "integration", "data processing"],
"complexity": "medium",
"use_cases": [
"Extract transaction data from Gmail",
"Automate bookkeeping",
"Expense tracking"
],
"estimated_setup_minutes": 30,
"required_services": ["Gmail", "Google Sheets", "Google Gemini"],
"key_features": [
"Fetch emails by label",
"Extract transaction data",
"Use LLM for structured output"
],
"target_audience": ["Accountants", "Small business owners"]
}
```
## Comparison: Task Templates vs Real Templates
### Current Approach (get_node_for_task)
**Pros**:
- Curated configurations with best practices
- Predictable, stable responses
- Fast lookup (no decompression needed)
**Cons**:
- Only 31 tasks (5.9% node coverage)
- 28% failure rate (users can't find what they need)
- Requires manual maintenance
- Static configurations without real-world context
- Usage ratio 22.5:1 (search_nodes is preferred)
### Template-Based Approach
**Pros**:
- 2,646 real workflows with 2-3k examples for common nodes
- 100% metadata coverage for semantic matching
- Real-world patterns and best practices
- Covers 543 node types (103% coverage)
- Self-updating (templates fetched from n8n.io)
- Rich context (use cases, complexity, setup time)
**Cons**:
- Requires decompression for full workflow access
- May contain template-specific context (but can be filtered)
- Need ranking/filtering logic for best matches
## Proposed Implementation Strategy
### Phase 1: Extract Node Configurations from Templates
Create a new service: `TemplateConfigExtractor`
```typescript
interface ExtractedNodeConfig {
nodeType: string;
configuration: Record<string, any>;
source: {
templateId: number;
templateName: string;
templateViews: number;
useCases: string[];
complexity: 'simple' | 'medium' | 'complex';
};
patterns: {
hasAuthentication: boolean;
hasExpressions: boolean;
hasOptionalFields: boolean;
};
}
class TemplateConfigExtractor {
async extractConfigsForNode(
nodeType: string,
options?: {
complexity?: 'simple' | 'medium' | 'complex';
requiresAuth?: boolean;
limit?: number;
}
): Promise<ExtractedNodeConfig[]> {
// 1. Query templates containing nodeType
// 2. Decompress workflow_json_compressed
// 3. Extract node configurations
// 4. Rank by popularity + complexity match
// 5. Return top N configurations
}
}
```
### Phase 2: Integrate with Existing Tools
**Option A**: Enhance `get_node_essentials`
- Add `includeExamples: boolean` parameter
- Return 2-3 real configurations from templates
- Preserve existing compact format
**Option B**: Enhance `get_node_info`
- Add `examples` section with template-sourced configs
- Include source attribution (template name, views)
**Option C**: New tool `get_node_examples`
- Dedicated tool for retrieving configuration examples
- Query by node type, complexity, use case
- Returns ranked list of real configurations
### Phase 3: Deprecate get_node_for_task
- Mark as deprecated in tool documentation
- Redirect to enhanced tools
- Remove after 2-3 version cycles
## Performance Considerations
### Decompression Cost
- Average compressed size: 6-12 KB
- Decompression time: ~5-10ms per template
- Caching strategy needed for frequently accessed templates
### Query Strategy
```sql
-- Fast: Get templates for a node type (no decompression)
SELECT id, name, views, metadata_json
FROM templates
WHERE nodes_used LIKE '%n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest%'
ORDER BY views DESC
LIMIT 10;
-- Then decompress only top matches
```
### Caching
- Cache decompressed workflows for popular templates (top 100)
- TTL: 1 hour
- Estimated memory: 100 * 50KB = 5MB
## Impact on P0-R3
**Original P0-R3 Plan**: Expand task library from 31 to 100+ tasks using fuzzy matching
**New Approach**: Mine 2,646 templates for real configurations
**Impact Assessment**:
| Metric | Original Plan | Template Mining |
|--------|--------------|-----------------|
| Configuration examples | 100 (estimated) | 2,646+ actual |
| Node coverage | ~20% | 103% |
| Maintenance | High (manual) | Low (auto-fetch) |
| Accuracy | Curated | Production-tested |
| Context richness | Limited | Rich metadata |
| Development time | 2-3 weeks | 1 week |
**Recommendation**: PIVOT to template mining approach for P0-R3
## Implementation Estimate
### Week 1: Core Infrastructure
- Day 1-2: Create `TemplateConfigExtractor` service
- Day 3: Implement caching layer
- Day 4-5: Testing and optimization
### Week 2: Integration
- Day 1-2: Enhance `get_node_essentials` with examples
- Day 3: Update tool documentation
- Day 4-5: Integration testing
**Total**: 2 weeks vs 3 weeks for original plan
## Validation Tests
```typescript
// Test: Extract HTTP Request configs
const configs = await extractor.extractConfigsForNode(
'n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest',
{ complexity: 'simple', limit: 5 }
);
// Expected: 5 configs from top templates
// - Simple URL fetch
// - With authentication
// - With custom headers
// - With expressions
// - With error handling
// Test: Extract webhook configs
const webhookConfigs = await extractor.extractConfigsForNode(
'n8n-nodes-base.webhook',
{ limit: 3 }
);
// Expected: 3 configs showing different patterns
// - Basic POST webhook
// - With response node
// - With binary data handling
```
## Risks and Mitigation
### Risk 1: Template Quality Varies
- **Mitigation**: Filter by views (popularity) and metadata complexity rating
- Only use templates with >1000 views for examples
### Risk 2: Decompression Performance
- **Mitigation**: Cache decompressed popular templates
- Implement lazy loading (decompress on demand)
### Risk 3: Template-Specific Context
- **Mitigation**: Extract only node configuration, strip workflow-specific context
- Provide source attribution for context
### Risk 4: Breaking Changes in Template Structure
- **Mitigation**: Robust error handling in decompression
- Fallback to cached configs if template fetch fails
## Success Metrics
**Before** (get_node_for_task):
- 392 calls, 72% success rate
- 28% failure rate
- 31 task templates
- 5.9% node coverage
**Target** (template-based):
- 90%+ success rate for configuration discovery
- 100%+ node coverage
- 2,646+ real-world examples
- Self-updating from n8n.io
## Next Steps
1. ✅ Complete template database analysis
2. ⏳ Create `TemplateConfigExtractor` service
3. ⏳ Implement caching layer
4. ⏳ Enhance `get_node_essentials` with examples
5. ⏳ Update P0 implementation plan
6. ⏳ Begin implementation
## Conclusion
The template database provides a vastly superior alternative to hardcoded task templates:
- **2,646 templates** vs 31 tasks (85x more examples)
- **103% node coverage** vs 5.9% coverage (17x improvement)
- **Real-world configurations** vs synthetic examples
- **Self-updating** vs manual maintenance
- **Rich metadata** for semantic matching
**Recommendation**: Pivot P0-R3 from "expand task library" to "mine template configurations"

**Branch:** `feat/integration-tests-workflow-creation`
## Prerequisites for Running Tests
Before running integration tests, you need to:
1. **Set up n8n instance:**
- Local: `npx n8n start`
- Or use cloud/self-hosted n8n
2. **Configure credentials in `.env`:**
```bash
N8N_API_URL=http://localhost:5678
N8N_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
```
3. **Create 4 webhook workflows manually:**
- One for each HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
- Activate each workflow in n8n UI
- Set workflow IDs in `.env`:
```bash
N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_GET_ID=<workflow-id>
N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_POST_ID=<workflow-id>
N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_PUT_ID=<workflow-id>
N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_DELETE_ID=<workflow-id>
```
See `docs/local/integration-testing-plan.md` for detailed setup instructions.
## Success Metrics
Phase 1 Success Criteria - ALL MET:
- ✅ All utilities implemented and tested
- ✅ TypeScript compiles without errors
- ✅ Code follows project conventions
- ✅ Comprehensive documentation
- ✅ Environment configuration complete
- ✅ Cleanup infrastructure in place
- ✅ Ready for Phase 2 test implementation
## Lessons Learned
1. **N8nApiClient Constructor:** Uses config object, not separate parameters
2. **Cursor Handling:** n8n API returns `null` for no more pages, need to convert to `undefined`
3. **Workflow ID Validation:** Some workflows might have undefined IDs, need null checks
4. **Connection Types:** Error connections need explicit typing to avoid TypeScript errors
5. **Webhook Activation:** Cannot be done via API, must be manual - hence pre-activated workflow requirement
## Time Invested
Phase 1 actual time: ~2 hours (estimated 2-3 days in plan)
- Faster than expected due to clear architecture and reusable patterns

## search_nodes
**Brief Description**: Search for n8n nodes by keywords in names and descriptions.
### Parameters
- `query` (string, required): Search term - single word recommended for best results
- `limit` (number, optional): Maximum results to return (default: 20)
### Return Format
```json
{
"nodes": [
{
"nodeType": "nodes-base.slack",
"displayName": "Slack",
"description": "Send messages to Slack channels"
}
],
"totalFound": 5
}
```
### Common Use Cases
1. **Finding integration nodes**: `search_nodes("slack")` to find Slack integration
2. **Finding HTTP nodes**: `search_nodes("http")` for HTTP/webhook nodes
3. **Finding database nodes**: `search_nodes("postgres")` for PostgreSQL nodes
### Examples
```json
// Search for Slack-related nodes
{
"query": "slack",
"limit": 10
}
// Search for webhook nodes
{
"query": "webhook",
"limit": 20
}
```
### Performance Notes
- Fast operation (cached results)
- Single-word queries are more precise
- Returns results with OR logic (any word matches)
### Best Practices
- Use single words for precise results: "slack" not "send slack message"
- Try shorter terms if no results: "sheet" instead of "spreadsheet"
- Search is case-insensitive
- Common searches: "http", "webhook", "email", "database", "slack"
### Common Pitfalls
- Multi-word searches return too many results (OR logic)
- Searching for exact phrases doesn't work
- Node types aren't searchable here (use exact type with get_node_info)
### Related Tools
- `list_nodes` - Browse nodes by category
- `get_node_essentials` - Get node configuration after finding it
- `list_ai_tools` - Find AI-capable nodes specifically
---
## get_node_essentials
**Brief Description**: Get only the 10-20 most important properties for a node with working examples.
### Parameters
- `nodeType` (string, required): Full node type with prefix (e.g., "nodes-base.httpRequest")
### Return Format
```json
{
"nodeType": "nodes-base.httpRequest",
"displayName": "HTTP Request",
"essentialProperties": [
{
"name": "method",
"type": "options",
"default": "GET",
"options": ["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE"],
"required": true
},
{
"name": "url",
"type": "string",
"required": true,
"placeholder": "https://api.example.com/endpoint"
}
],
"examples": [
{
"name": "Simple GET Request",
"configuration": {
"method": "GET",
"url": "https://api.example.com/users"
}
}
],
"tips": [
"Use expressions like {{$json.url}} to make URLs dynamic",
"Enable 'Split Into Items' for array responses"
]
}
```
### Common Use Cases
1. **Quick node configuration**: Get just what you need without parsing 100KB+ of data
2. **Learning node basics**: Understand essential properties with examples
3. **Building workflows efficiently**: 95% smaller responses than get_node_info
### Examples
```json
// Get essentials for HTTP Request node
{
"nodeType": "nodes-base.httpRequest"
}
// Get essentials for Slack node
{
"nodeType": "nodes-base.slack"
}
// Get essentials for OpenAI node
{
"nodeType": "nodes-langchain.openAi"
}
```
### Performance Notes
- Very fast (<5KB responses vs 100KB+ for full info)
- Curated for 20+ common nodes
- Automatic fallback for unconfigured nodes
### Best Practices
- Always use this before get_node_info
- Node type must include prefix: "nodes-base.slack" not "slack"
- Check examples section for working configurations
- Use tips section for common patterns
### Common Pitfalls
- Forgetting the prefix in node type
- Using wrong package name (n8n-nodes-base vs @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain)
- Case sensitivity in node types
### Related Tools
- `get_node_info` - Full schema when essentials aren't enough
- `search_node_properties` - Find specific properties
- `get_node_for_task` - Pre-configured for common tasks
---
## list_nodes
**Brief Description**: List available n8n nodes with optional filtering by package, category, or capabilities.
### Parameters
- `package` (string, optional): Filter by exact package name
- `category` (string, optional): Filter by category (trigger, transform, output, input)
- `developmentStyle` (string, optional): Filter by implementation style
- `isAITool` (boolean, optional): Filter for AI-capable nodes
- `limit` (number, optional): Maximum results (default: 50, max: 500)
### Return Format
```json
{
"nodes": [
{
"nodeType": "nodes-base.webhook",
"displayName": "Webhook",
"description": "Receive HTTP requests",
"categories": ["trigger"],
"version": 2
}
],
"total": 104,
"hasMore": false
}
```
### Common Use Cases
1. **Browse all triggers**: `list_nodes({category: "trigger", limit: 200})`
2. **List all nodes**: `list_nodes({limit: 500})`
3. **Find AI nodes**: `list_nodes({isAITool: true})`
4. **Browse core nodes**: `list_nodes({package: "n8n-nodes-base"})`
### Examples
```json
// List all trigger nodes
{
"category": "trigger",
"limit": 200
}
// List all AI-capable nodes
{
"isAITool": true,
"limit": 100
}
// List nodes from core package
{
"package": "n8n-nodes-base",
"limit": 200
}
```
### Performance Notes
- Fast operation (cached results)
- Default limit of 50 may miss nodes - use 200+
- Returns metadata only, not full schemas
### Best Practices
- Always set limit to 200+ for complete results
- Use exact package names: "n8n-nodes-base" not "@n8n/n8n-nodes-base"
- Categories are singular: "trigger" not "triggers"
- Common categories: trigger (104), transform, output, input
### Common Pitfalls
- Default limit (50) misses many nodes
- Using wrong package name format
- Multiple filters may return empty results
### Related Tools
- `search_nodes` - Search by keywords
- `list_ai_tools` - Specifically for AI nodes
- `get_database_statistics` - Overview of all nodes
---
## validate_node_minimal
**Brief Description**: Quick validation checking only for missing required fields.
### Parameters
- `nodeType` (string, required): Node type to validate (e.g., "nodes-base.slack")
- `config` (object, required): Node configuration to check
### Return Format
```json
{
"valid": false,
"missingRequired": ["channel", "messageType"],
"message": "Missing 2 required fields"
}
```
### Common Use Cases
1. **Quick validation**: Check if all required fields are present
2. **Pre-flight check**: Validate before creating workflow
3. **Minimal overhead**: Fastest validation option
### Examples
```json
// Validate Slack message configuration
{
"nodeType": "nodes-base.slack",
"config": {
"resource": "message",
"operation": "send",
"text": "Hello World"
// Missing: channel
}
}
// Validate HTTP Request
{
"nodeType": "nodes-base.httpRequest",
"config": {
"method": "POST"
// Missing: url
}
}
```
### Performance Notes
- Fastest validation option
- No schema loading overhead
- Returns only missing fields
### Best Practices
- Use for quick checks during workflow building
- Follow up with validate_node_operation for complex nodes
- Check operation-specific requirements
### Common Pitfalls
- Doesn't validate field values or types
- Doesn't check operation-specific requirements
- Won't catch configuration errors beyond missing fields
### Related Tools
- `validate_node_operation` - Comprehensive validation
- `validate_workflow` - Full workflow validation
---
## validate_node_operation
**Brief Description**: Comprehensive node configuration validation with operation awareness and helpful error messages.
### Parameters
- `nodeType` (string, required): Node type to validate
- `config` (object, required): Complete node configuration including operation fields
- `profile` (string, optional): Validation profile (minimal, runtime, ai-friendly, strict)
### Return Format
```json
{
"valid": false,
"errors": [
{
"field": "channel",
"message": "Channel is required to send Slack message",
"suggestion": "Add channel: '#general' or '@username'"
}
],
"warnings": [
{
"field": "unfurl_links",
"message": "Consider setting unfurl_links: false for better performance"
}
],
"examples": {
"minimal": {
"resource": "message",
"operation": "send",
"channel": "#general",
"text": "Hello World"
}
}
}
```
### Common Use Cases
1. **Complex node validation**: Slack, Google Sheets, databases
2. **Operation-specific checks**: Different rules per operation
3. **Getting fix suggestions**: Helpful error messages with solutions
### Examples
```json
// Validate Slack configuration
{
"nodeType": "nodes-base.slack",
"config": {
"resource": "message",
"operation": "send",
"text": "Hello team!"
},
"profile": "ai-friendly"
}
// Validate Google Sheets operation
{
"nodeType": "nodes-base.googleSheets",
"config": {
"operation": "append",
"sheetId": "1234567890",
"range": "Sheet1!A:Z"
},
"profile": "runtime"
}
```
### Performance Notes
- Slower than minimal validation
- Loads full node schema
- Operation-aware validation rules
### Best Practices
- Use "ai-friendly" profile for balanced validation
- Check examples in response for working configurations
- Follow suggestions to fix errors
- Essential for complex nodes (Slack, databases, APIs)
### Common Pitfalls
- Forgetting operation fields (resource, operation, action)
- Using wrong profile (too strict or too lenient)
- Ignoring warnings that could cause runtime issues

"nodes": [...],
"connections": {...}
}
```
### Common Use Cases
1. **Automated workflow creation**: Build workflows programmatically
2. **Template deployment**: Deploy pre-built workflow patterns
3. **Multi-workflow systems**: Create interconnected workflows
### Examples
```json
// Create simple webhook → HTTP request workflow
{
"name": "Webhook to API",
"nodes": [
{
"id": "webhook-1",
"name": "Webhook",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.webhook",
"typeVersion": 2,
"position": [250, 300],
"parameters": {
"path": "/my-webhook",
"httpMethod": "POST"
}
},
{
"id": "http-1",
"name": "HTTP Request",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest",
"typeVersion": 4.2,
"position": [450, 300],
"parameters": {
"method": "POST",
"url": "https://api.example.com/process",
"responseFormat": "json"
}
}
],
"connections": {
"Webhook": {
"main": [[{"node": "HTTP Request", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]
}
}
}
```
### Performance Notes
- API call to n8n instance required
- Workflow created in inactive state
- Must be manually activated in UI
### Best Practices
- Always include typeVersion for nodes
- Use node names (not IDs) in connections
- Position nodes logically ([x, y] coordinates)
- Test with validate_workflow first
- Start simple, add complexity gradually
### Common Pitfalls
- Missing typeVersion causes errors
- Using node IDs instead of names in connections
- Forgetting required node properties
- Creating cycles in connections
- Workflow can't be activated via API
### Related Tools
- `validate_workflow` - Validate before creating
- `n8n_update_partial_workflow` - Modify existing workflows
- `n8n_trigger_webhook_workflow` - Execute workflows
---
## n8n_update_partial_workflow
**Brief Description**: Update workflows using diff operations for precise, incremental changes without sending the entire workflow.
### Parameters
- `id` (string, required): Workflow ID to update
- `operations` (array, required): Array of diff operations (max 5)
- `validateOnly` (boolean, optional): Test without applying changes
### Return Format
```json
{
"success": true,
"workflow": {
"id": "workflow-uuid",
"name": "Updated Workflow",
"nodes": [...],
"connections": {...}
},
"appliedOperations": 3
}
```
### Common Use Cases
1. **Add nodes to existing workflows**: Insert new functionality
2. **Update node configurations**: Change parameters without full replacement
3. **Manage connections**: Add/remove node connections
4. **Quick edits**: Rename, enable/disable nodes, update settings
### Examples
```json
// Add a new node and connect it
{
"id": "workflow-123",
"operations": [
{
"type": "addNode",
"node": {
"id": "set-1",
"name": "Set Data",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.set",
"typeVersion": 3,
"position": [600, 300],
"parameters": {
"values": {
"string": [{
"name": "status",
"value": "processed"
}]
}
}
}
},
{
"type": "addConnection",
"source": "HTTP Request",
"target": "Set Data"
}
]
}
// Update multiple properties
{
"id": "workflow-123",
"operations": [
{
"type": "updateName",
"name": "Production Workflow v2"
},
{
"type": "updateNode",
"nodeName": "Webhook",
"changes": {
"parameters.path": "/v2/webhook"
}
},
{
"type": "addTag",
"tag": "production"
}
]
}
```
### Performance Notes
- 80-90% token savings vs full updates
- Maximum 5 operations per request
- Two-pass processing handles dependencies
- Transactional: all or nothing
### Best Practices
- Use validateOnly: true to test first
- Keep operations under 5 for reliability
- Operations can be in any order (v2.7.0+)
- Use node names, not IDs in operations
- For updateNode, use dot notation for nested paths
### Common Pitfalls
- Exceeding 5 operations limit
- Using node IDs instead of names
- Forgetting required node properties in addNode
- Not testing with validateOnly first
### Related Tools
- `n8n_update_full_workflow` - Complete workflow replacement
- `n8n_get_workflow` - Fetch current workflow state
- `validate_workflow` - Validate changes before applying
---
## Quick Reference
### Workflow Building Process
1. **Discovery**: `search_nodes` `list_nodes`
2. **Configuration**: `get_node_essentials` `get_node_for_task`
3. **Validation**: `validate_node_minimal` `validate_node_operation`
4. **Creation**: `validate_workflow` `n8n_create_workflow`
5. **Updates**: `n8n_update_partial_workflow`
### Performance Tips
- Use `get_node_essentials` instead of `get_node_info` (95% smaller)
- Set high limits on `list_nodes` (200+)
- Use single words in `search_nodes`
- Validate incrementally while building
### Common Node Types
- **Triggers**: webhook, schedule, emailReadImap, slackTrigger
- **Core**: httpRequest, code, set, if, merge, splitInBatches
- **Integrations**: slack, gmail, googleSheets, postgres, mongodb
- **AI**: agent, openAi, chainLlm, documentLoader
### Error Prevention
- Always include node type prefixes: "nodes-base.slack"
- Use node names (not IDs) in connections
- Include typeVersion in all nodes
- Test with validateOnly before applying changes
- Check userMustProvide sections in templates

# n8n MCP Client Tool Integration - Implementation Plan (Simplified)
## Overview
This document provides a **simplified** implementation plan for making n8n-mcp compatible with n8n's MCP Client Tool (v1.1). Based on expert review, we're taking a minimal approach that extends the existing single-session server rather than creating new architecture.
## Key Design Principles
1. **Minimal Changes**: Extend existing single-session server with n8n compatibility mode
2. **No Overengineering**: No complex session management or multi-session architecture
3. **Docker-Native**: Separate Docker image for n8n deployment
4. **Remote Deployment**: Designed to run alongside n8n in production
5. **Backward Compatible**: Existing functionality remains unchanged
## Prerequisites
- Docker and Docker Compose
- n8n version 1.104.2 or higher (with MCP Client Tool v1.1)
- Basic understanding of Docker networking
## Implementation Approach
Instead of creating new multi-session architecture, we'll extend the existing single-session server with an n8n compatibility mode. This approach was recommended by all three expert reviewers as simpler and more maintainable.
## Architecture Changes
```
src/
├── http-server-single-session.ts # MODIFY: Add n8n mode flag
└── mcp/
└── server.ts # NO CHANGES NEEDED
Docker/
├── Dockerfile.n8n # NEW: n8n-specific image
├── docker-compose.n8n.yml # NEW: Simplified stack
└── .github/workflows/
└── docker-build-n8n.yml # NEW: Build workflow
```
## Implementation Steps
### Step 1: Modify Existing Single-Session Server
#### 1.1 Update `src/http-server-single-session.ts`
Add n8n compatibility mode to the existing server with minimal changes:
```typescript
// Add these constants at the top (after imports)
const PROTOCOL_VERSION = "2024-11-05";
const N8N_MODE = process.env.N8N_MODE === 'true';
// In the constructor or start method, add logging
if (N8N_MODE) {
logger.info('Running in n8n compatibility mode');
}
// In setupRoutes method, add the protocol version endpoint
if (N8N_MODE) {
app.get('/mcp', (req, res) => {
res.json({
protocolVersion: PROTOCOL_VERSION,
serverInfo: {
name: "n8n-mcp",
version: PROJECT_VERSION,
capabilities: {
tools: true,
resources: false,
prompts: false,
},
},
});
});
}
// In handleMCPRequest method, add session header
if (N8N_MODE && this.session) {
res.setHeader('Mcp-Session-Id', this.session.sessionId);
}
// Update error handling to use JSON-RPC format
catch (error) {
logger.error('MCP request error:', error);
if (N8N_MODE) {
res.status(500).json({
jsonrpc: '2.0',
error: {
code: -32603,
message: 'Internal error',
data: error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error',
},
id: null,
});
} else {
// Keep existing error handling for backward compatibility
res.status(500).json({
error: 'Internal server error',
details: error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'
});
}
}
```
That's it! No new files, no complex session management. Just a few lines of code.
### Step 2: Update Package Scripts
#### 2.1 Update `package.json`
Add a simple script for n8n mode:
```json
{
"scripts": {
"start:n8n": "N8N_MODE=true MCP_MODE=http node dist/mcp/index.js"
}
}
```
### Step 3: Create Docker Infrastructure for n8n
#### 3.1 Create `Dockerfile.n8n`
```dockerfile
# Dockerfile.n8n - Optimized for n8n integration
FROM node:22-alpine AS builder
WORKDIR /app
# Install build dependencies
RUN apk add --no-cache python3 make g++
# Copy package files
COPY package*.json tsconfig*.json ./
# Install ALL dependencies
RUN npm ci --no-audit --no-fund
# Copy source and build
COPY src ./src
RUN npm run build && npm run rebuild
# Runtime stage
FROM node:22-alpine
WORKDIR /app
# Install runtime dependencies
RUN apk add --no-cache curl dumb-init
# Create non-root user
RUN addgroup -g 1001 -S nodejs && adduser -S nodejs -u 1001
# Copy application from builder
COPY --from=builder --chown=nodejs:nodejs /app/dist ./dist
COPY --from=builder --chown=nodejs:nodejs /app/data ./data
COPY --from=builder --chown=nodejs:nodejs /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY --chown=nodejs:nodejs package.json ./
USER nodejs
EXPOSE 3001
HEALTHCHECK CMD curl -f http://localhost:3001/health || exit 1
ENTRYPOINT ["dumb-init", "--"]
CMD ["node", "dist/mcp/index.js"]
```
#### 3.2 Create `docker-compose.n8n.yml`
```yaml
# docker-compose.n8n.yml - Simple stack for n8n + n8n-mcp
version: '3.8'
services:
n8n:
image: n8nio/n8n:latest
container_name: n8n
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- "5678:5678"
environment:
- N8N_BASIC_AUTH_ACTIVE=${N8N_BASIC_AUTH_ACTIVE:-true}
- N8N_BASIC_AUTH_USER=${N8N_USER:-admin}
- N8N_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=${N8N_PASSWORD:-changeme}
- N8N_COMMUNITY_PACKAGES_ALLOW_TOOL_USAGE=true
volumes:
- n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n
networks:
- n8n-net
depends_on:
n8n-mcp:
condition: service_healthy
n8n-mcp:
image: ghcr.io/${GITHUB_USER:-czlonkowski}/n8n-mcp-n8n:latest
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile.n8n
container_name: n8n-mcp
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
- MCP_MODE=http
- N8N_MODE=true
- AUTH_TOKEN=${MCP_AUTH_TOKEN}
- NODE_ENV=production
- HTTP_PORT=3001
networks:
- n8n-net
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:3001/health"]
interval: 30s
timeout: 10s
retries: 3
networks:
n8n-net:
driver: bridge
volumes:
n8n_data:
```
#### 3.3 Create `.env.n8n.example`
```bash
# .env.n8n.example - Copy to .env and configure
# n8n Configuration
N8N_USER=admin
N8N_PASSWORD=changeme
N8N_BASIC_AUTH_ACTIVE=true
# MCP Configuration
# Generate with: openssl rand -base64 32
MCP_AUTH_TOKEN=your-secure-token-minimum-32-characters
# GitHub username for image registry
GITHUB_USER=czlonkowski
```
### Step 4: Create GitHub Actions Workflow
#### 4.1 Create `.github/workflows/docker-build-n8n.yml`
```yaml
name: Build n8n Docker Image
on:
push:
branches: [main]
tags: ['v*']
paths:
- 'src/**'
- 'package*.json'
- 'Dockerfile.n8n'
workflow_dispatch:
env:
REGISTRY: ghcr.io
IMAGE_NAME: ${{ github.repository }}-n8n
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
permissions:
contents: read
packages: write
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v3
- uses: docker/login-action@v3
with:
registry: ${{ env.REGISTRY }}
username: ${{ github.actor }}
password: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
- uses: docker/metadata-action@v5
id: meta
with:
images: ${{ env.REGISTRY }}/${{ env.IMAGE_NAME }}
tags: |
type=ref,event=branch
type=semver,pattern={{version}}
type=raw,value=latest,enable={{is_default_branch}}
- uses: docker/build-push-action@v5
with:
context: .
file: ./Dockerfile.n8n
push: true
tags: ${{ steps.meta.outputs.tags }}
cache-from: type=gha
cache-to: type=gha,mode=max
```
### Step 5: Testing
#### 5.1 Unit Tests for n8n Mode
Create `tests/unit/http-server-n8n-mode.test.ts`:
```typescript
import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';
import request from 'supertest';
describe('n8n Mode', () => {
it('should return protocol version on GET /mcp', async () => {
process.env.N8N_MODE = 'true';
const app = await createTestApp();
const response = await request(app)
.get('/mcp')
.expect(200);
expect(response.body.protocolVersion).toBe('2024-11-05');
expect(response.body.serverInfo.capabilities.tools).toBe(true);
});
it('should include session ID in response headers', async () => {
process.env.N8N_MODE = 'true';
const app = await createTestApp();
const response = await request(app)
.post('/mcp')
.set('Authorization', 'Bearer test-token')
.send({ jsonrpc: '2.0', method: 'initialize', id: 1 });
expect(response.headers['mcp-session-id']).toBeDefined();
});
it('should format errors as JSON-RPC', async () => {
process.env.N8N_MODE = 'true';
const app = await createTestApp();
const response = await request(app)
.post('/mcp')
.send({ invalid: 'request' })
.expect(500);
expect(response.body.jsonrpc).toBe('2.0');
expect(response.body.error.code).toBe(-32603);
});
});
```
#### 5.2 Quick Deployment Script
Create `deploy/quick-deploy-n8n.sh`:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
set -e
echo "🚀 Quick Deploy n8n + n8n-mcp"
# Check prerequisites
command -v docker >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "Docker required"; exit 1; }
command -v docker-compose >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "Docker Compose required"; exit 1; }
# Generate auth token if not exists
if [ ! -f .env ]; then
cp .env.n8n.example .env
TOKEN=$(openssl rand -base64 32)
sed -i "s/your-secure-token-minimum-32-characters/$TOKEN/" .env
echo "Generated MCP_AUTH_TOKEN: $TOKEN"
fi
# Deploy
docker-compose -f docker-compose.n8n.yml up -d
echo ""
echo "✅ Deployment complete!"
echo ""
echo "📋 Next steps:"
echo "1. Access n8n at http://localhost:5678"
echo " Username: admin (or check .env)"
echo " Password: changeme (or check .env)"
echo ""
echo "2. Create a workflow with MCP Client Tool:"
echo " - Server URL: http://n8n-mcp:3001/mcp"
echo " - Authentication: Bearer Token"
echo " - Token: Check .env file for MCP_AUTH_TOKEN"
echo ""
echo "📊 View logs: docker-compose -f docker-compose.n8n.yml logs -f"
echo "🛑 Stop: docker-compose -f docker-compose.n8n.yml down"
```
## Implementation Checklist (Simplified)
### Code Changes
- [ ] Add N8N_MODE flag to `http-server-single-session.ts`
- [ ] Add protocol version endpoint (GET /mcp) when N8N_MODE=true
- [ ] Add Mcp-Session-Id header to responses
- [ ] Update error responses to JSON-RPC format when N8N_MODE=true
- [ ] Add npm script `start:n8n` to package.json
### Docker Infrastructure
- [ ] Create `Dockerfile.n8n` for n8n-specific image
- [ ] Create `docker-compose.n8n.yml` for simple deployment
- [ ] Create `.env.n8n.example` template
- [ ] Create GitHub Actions workflow `docker-build-n8n.yml`
- [ ] Create `deploy/quick-deploy-n8n.sh` script
### Testing
- [ ] Write unit tests for n8n mode functionality
- [ ] Test with actual n8n MCP Client Tool
- [ ] Verify protocol version endpoint
- [ ] Test authentication flow
- [ ] Validate error formatting
### Documentation
- [ ] Update README with n8n deployment section
- [ ] Document N8N_MODE environment variable
- [ ] Add troubleshooting guide for common issues
## Quick Start Guide
### 1. One-Command Deployment
```bash
# Clone and deploy
git clone https://github.com/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp.git
cd n8n-mcp
./deploy/quick-deploy-n8n.sh
```
### 2. Manual Configuration in n8n
After deployment, configure the MCP Client Tool in n8n:
1. Open n8n at `http://localhost:5678`
2. Create a new workflow
3. Add "MCP Client Tool" node (under AI category)
4. Configure:
- **Server URL**: `http://n8n-mcp:3001/mcp`
- **Authentication**: Bearer Token
- **Token**: Check your `.env` file for MCP_AUTH_TOKEN
5. Select a tool (e.g., `list_nodes`)
6. Execute the workflow
### 3. Production Deployment
For production with SSL, use a reverse proxy:
```nginx
# nginx configuration
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name n8n.yourdomain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:5678;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}
}
```
The MCP server should remain internal only - n8n connects via Docker network.
## Success Criteria
The implementation is successful when:
1. **Minimal Code Changes**: Only ~20 lines added to existing server
2. **Protocol Compliance**: GET /mcp returns correct protocol version
3. **n8n Connection**: MCP Client Tool connects successfully
4. **Tool Execution**: Tools work without modification
5. **Backward Compatible**: Existing Claude Desktop usage unaffected
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **"Protocol version mismatch"**
- Ensure N8N_MODE=true is set
- Check GET /mcp returns "2024-11-05"
2. **"Authentication failed"**
- Verify AUTH_TOKEN matches in .env and n8n
- Token must be 32+ characters
- Use "Bearer Token" auth type in n8n
3. **"Connection refused"**
- Check containers are on same network
- Use internal hostname: `http://n8n-mcp:3001/mcp`
- Verify health check passes
4. **Testing the Setup**
```bash
# Check protocol version
docker exec n8n-mcp curl http://localhost:3001/mcp
# View logs
docker-compose -f docker-compose.n8n.yml logs -f n8n-mcp
```
## Summary
This simplified approach:
- **Extends existing code** rather than creating new architecture
- **Adds n8n compatibility** with minimal changes
- **Uses separate Docker image** for clean deployment
- **Maintains backward compatibility** for existing users
- **Avoids overengineering** with simple, practical solutions
Total implementation effort: ~2-3 hours (vs. 2-3 days for multi-session approach)

- **Benchmark Results**: 30 days
- **Combined Results**: 90 days
- **Test Metadata**: 30 days
## PR Comment Integration
The system automatically:
- Posts test summaries to PR comments
- Updates existing comments instead of creating duplicates
- Includes links to full artifacts
- Shows coverage and benchmark changes
## Job Summary
Each workflow run includes a job summary with:
- Test results overview
- Coverage summary
- Benchmark results
- Direct links to download artifacts
## Local Development
### Running Tests with Reports
```bash
# Run tests with all reporters
CI=true npm run test:coverage
# Generate detailed reports
node scripts/generate-detailed-reports.js
# Generate test summary
node scripts/generate-test-summary.js
# Compare benchmarks
node scripts/compare-benchmarks.js benchmark-results.json benchmark-baseline.json
```
### Report Locations
When running locally, reports are generated in:
- `test-results/` - Vitest outputs
- `test-reports/` - Detailed reports
- `coverage/` - Coverage reports
- Root directory - Summary files
## Report Formats
### HTML Report Features
- Responsive design
- Test suite breakdown
- Failed test details with error messages
- Coverage visualization with progress bars
- Benchmark performance metrics
- Sortable tables
### Markdown Report Features
- GitHub-compatible formatting
- Summary statistics
- Failed test listings
- Coverage breakdown
- Benchmark comparisons
### JSON Report Features
- Complete test data
- Programmatic access
- Historical comparison
- CI/CD integration
## Best Practices
1. **Always Check Artifacts**: When tests fail in CI, download and review the HTML report
2. **Monitor Coverage**: Use the coverage reports to identify untested code
3. **Track Benchmarks**: Review benchmark comparisons on performance-critical PRs
4. **Archive Important Runs**: Download artifacts from significant releases
## Troubleshooting
### Missing Artifacts
- Check if tests ran to completion
- Verify artifact upload steps executed
- Check retention period hasn't expired
### Report Generation Failures
- Ensure all dependencies are installed
- Check for valid test/coverage output files
- Review workflow logs for errors
### PR Comment Issues
- Verify GitHub Actions permissions
- Check bot authentication
- Review comment posting logs

```
## Mock Strategy
### 1. Mock Service Worker (MSW) for API Mocking
We use MSW for intercepting and mocking HTTP requests:
```typescript
// tests/mocks/n8n-api/handlers.ts
import { http, HttpResponse } from 'msw';
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);
}),
// Execution endpoints
http.post('*/workflows/:id/run', async ({ params, request }) => {
const body = await request.json();
return HttpResponse.json({
executionId: generateExecutionId(),
status: 'running'
});
})
];
```
### 2. Database Mocking
For unit tests, we mock the database layer:
```typescript
// 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>();
async connectToTransport(transport: Transport): Promise<void> {
this.transports.add(transport);
await this.connect(transport);
}
async close(): Promise<void> {
for (const transport of this.transports) {
await transport.close();
}
this.transports.clear();
}
}
```
## 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);
});
});
```

- **Slowest tests**: Integration tests with real database (100-5000ms)
- **Average test time**: ~20ms per test
- **Total suite execution**: Under 3 minutes in CI
## CI/CD Pipeline
Our GitHub Actions workflow runs all tests automatically:
```yaml
# .github/workflows/test.yml
name: Test Suite
on:
push:
branches: [main]
pull_request:
branches: [main]
jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: 20
- name: Install dependencies
run: npm ci
- name: Run unit tests with coverage
run: npm run test:unit -- --coverage
- name: Run integration tests
run: npm run test:integration
- name: Upload coverage to Codecov

```
### Test Execution Scripts
```json
// package.json
{
"scripts": {
"test": "vitest",
"test:unit": "vitest run tests/unit",
"test:integration": "vitest run tests/integration --config vitest.config.integration.ts",
"test:coverage": "vitest run --coverage",
"test:watch": "vitest watch",
"test:bench": "vitest bench --config vitest.config.benchmark.ts",
"benchmark:ci": "CI=true node scripts/run-benchmarks-ci.js"
}
}
```
### CI Test Results Summary
From our latest CI run (#41):
```
UNIT TESTS:
Test Files 30 passed (30)
Tests 932 passed | 1 skipped (933)
INTEGRATION TESTS:
Test Files 14 passed (14)
Tests 245 passed | 4 skipped (249)
TOTAL: 1,177 passed | 5 skipped | 0 failed
```
## Performance Testing
We use Vitest's built-in benchmark functionality:
```typescript
// tests/benchmarks/database-queries.bench.ts
import { bench, describe } from 'vitest';
describe('Database Query Performance', () => {
bench('search nodes by category', async () => {
await nodeRepo.getNodesByCategory('trigger');
});
bench('FTS5 search performance', async () => {
await nodeRepo.searchNodes('webhook http request', 'AND');
});
});
```
## 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
]
```

}
}
```
### 1.3 Migrate Existing Tests
```typescript
// Before (Jest)
import { describe, test, expect } from '@jest/globals';
// After (Vitest)
import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';
// Update mock syntax
// Jest: jest.mock('module')
// Vitest: vi.mock('module')
// Update timer mocks
// Jest: jest.useFakeTimers()
// Vitest: vi.useFakeTimers()
```
### 1.4 Create Test Database Setup
```typescript
// tests/setup/test-database.ts
import Database from 'better-sqlite3';
import { readFileSync } from 'fs';
import { join } from 'path';
export class TestDatabase {
private db: Database.Database;
constructor() {
this.db = new Database(':memory:');
this.initialize();
}
private initialize() {
const schema = readFileSync(
join(__dirname, '../../src/database/schema.sql'),
'utf8'
);
this.db.exec(schema);
}
seedNodes(nodes: any[]) {
const stmt = this.db.prepare(`
INSERT INTO nodes (type, displayName, name, group, version, description, properties)
VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
`);
const insertMany = this.db.transaction((nodes) => {
for (const node of nodes) {
stmt.run(
node.type,
node.displayName,
node.name,
node.group,
node.version,
node.description,
JSON.stringify(node.properties)
);
}
});
insertMany(nodes);
}
close() {
this.db.close();
}
getDb() {
return this.db;
}
}
```
## Phase 2: Core Unit Tests (Week 3-4)
### 2.1 Test Organization Template
```typescript
// tests/unit/services/[service-name].test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach, afterEach, vi } from 'vitest';
import { ServiceName } from '@/services/service-name';
describe('ServiceName', () => {
let service: ServiceName;
let mockDependency: any;
beforeEach(() => {
// Setup mocks
mockDependency = {
method: vi.fn()
};
// Create service instance
service = new ServiceName(mockDependency);
});
afterEach(() => {
vi.clearAllMocks();
});
describe('methodName', () => {
it('should handle happy path', async () => {
// Arrange
const input = { /* test data */ };
mockDependency.method.mockResolvedValue({ /* mock response */ });
// Act
const result = await service.methodName(input);
// Assert
expect(result).toEqual(/* expected output */);
expect(mockDependency.method).toHaveBeenCalledWith(/* expected args */);
});
it('should handle errors gracefully', async () => {
// Arrange
mockDependency.method.mockRejectedValue(new Error('Test error'));
// Act & Assert
await expect(service.methodName({})).rejects.toThrow('Expected error message');
});
});
});
```
### 2.2 Mock Strategies by Layer
#### Database Layer
```typescript
// tests/unit/database/node-repository.test.ts
import { vi } from 'vitest';
vi.mock('better-sqlite3', () => ({
default: vi.fn(() => ({
prepare: vi.fn(() => ({
all: vi.fn(() => mockData),
get: vi.fn((id) => mockData.find(d => d.id === id)),
run: vi.fn(() => ({ changes: 1 }))
})),
exec: vi.fn(),
close: vi.fn()
}))
}));
```
#### External APIs
```typescript
// tests/unit/services/__mocks__/axios.ts
export default {
create: vi.fn(() => ({
get: vi.fn(() => Promise.resolve({ data: {} })),
post: vi.fn(() => Promise.resolve({ data: { id: '123' } })),
put: vi.fn(() => Promise.resolve({ data: {} })),
delete: vi.fn(() => Promise.resolve({ data: {} }))
}))
};
```
#### File System
```typescript
// Use memfs for file system mocking
import { vol } from 'memfs';
vi.mock('fs', () => vol);
beforeEach(() => {
vol.reset();
vol.fromJSON({
'/test/file.json': JSON.stringify({ test: 'data' })
});
});
```
### 2.3 Critical Path Tests
```typescript
// Priority 1: Node Loading and Parsing
// tests/unit/loaders/node-loader.test.ts
// Priority 2: Configuration Validation
// tests/unit/services/config-validator.test.ts
// Priority 3: MCP Tools
// tests/unit/mcp/tools.test.ts
// Priority 4: Database Operations
// tests/unit/database/node-repository.test.ts
// Priority 5: Workflow Validation
// tests/unit/services/workflow-validator.test.ts
```
## Phase 3: Integration Tests (Week 5-6)
### 3.1 Test Container Setup
```typescript
// tests/setup/test-containers.ts
import { GenericContainer, StartedTestContainer } from 'testcontainers';
export class N8nTestContainer {
private container: StartedTestContainer;
async start() {
this.container = await new GenericContainer('n8nio/n8n:latest')
.withExposedPorts(5678)
.withEnv('N8N_BASIC_AUTH_ACTIVE', 'false')
.withEnv('N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY', 'test-key')
.start();
return {
url: `http://localhost:${this.container.getMappedPort(5678)}`,
stop: () => this.container.stop()
};
}
}
```
### 3.2 Integration Test Pattern
```typescript
// tests/integration/n8n-api/workflow-crud.test.ts
import { N8nTestContainer } from '@tests/setup/test-containers';
import { N8nAPIClient } from '@/services/n8n-api-client';
describe('n8n API Integration', () => {
let container: any;
let apiClient: N8nAPIClient;
beforeAll(async () => {
container = await new N8nTestContainer().start();
apiClient = new N8nAPIClient(container.url);
}, 30000);
afterAll(async () => {
await container.stop();
});
it('should create and retrieve workflow', async () => {
// Create workflow
const workflow = createTestWorkflow();
const created = await apiClient.createWorkflow(workflow);
expect(created.id).toBeDefined();
// Retrieve workflow
const retrieved = await apiClient.getWorkflow(created.id);
expect(retrieved.name).toBe(workflow.name);
});
});
```
## Phase 4: E2E & Performance (Week 7-8)
### 4.1 E2E Test Setup
```typescript
// tests/e2e/workflows/complete-workflow.test.ts
import { MCPClient } from '@tests/utils/mcp-client';
import { N8nTestContainer } from '@tests/setup/test-containers';
describe('Complete Workflow E2E', () => {
let mcpServer: any;
let n8nContainer: any;
let mcpClient: MCPClient;
beforeAll(async () => {
// Start n8n
n8nContainer = await new N8nTestContainer().start();
// Start MCP server
mcpServer = await startMCPServer({
n8nUrl: n8nContainer.url
});
// Create MCP client
mcpClient = new MCPClient(mcpServer.url);
}, 60000);
it('should execute complete workflow creation flow', async () => {
// 1. Search for nodes
const searchResult = await mcpClient.call('search_nodes', {
query: 'webhook http slack'
});
// 2. Get node details
const webhookInfo = await mcpClient.call('get_node_info', {
nodeType: 'nodes-base.webhook'
});
// 3. Create workflow
const workflow = new WorkflowBuilder('E2E Test')
.addWebhookNode()
.addHttpRequestNode()
.addSlackNode()
.connectSequentially()
.build();
// 4. Validate workflow
const validation = await mcpClient.call('validate_workflow', {
workflow
});
expect(validation.isValid).toBe(true);
// 5. Deploy to n8n
const deployed = await mcpClient.call('n8n_create_workflow', {
...workflow
});
expect(deployed.id).toBeDefined();
expect(deployed.active).toBe(false);
});
});
```
### 4.2 Performance Benchmarks
```typescript
// vitest.benchmark.config.ts
export default {
test: {
benchmark: {
// Output benchmark results
outputFile: './benchmark-results.json',
// Compare with baseline
compare: './benchmark-baseline.json',
// Fail if performance degrades by more than 10%
threshold: {
p95: 1.1, // 110% of baseline
p99: 1.2 // 120% of baseline
}
}
}
};
```
## Testing Best Practices
### 1. Test Naming Convention
```typescript
// Format: should [expected behavior] when [condition]
it('should return user data when valid ID is provided')
it('should throw ValidationError when email is invalid')
it('should retry 3 times when network fails')
```
### 2. Test Data Builders
```typescript
// Use builders for complex test data
const user = new UserBuilder()
.withEmail('test@example.com')
.withRole('admin')
.build();
```
### 3. Custom Matchers
```typescript
// tests/utils/matchers.ts
export const toBeValidNode = (received: any) => {
const pass =
received.type &&
received.displayName &&
received.properties &&
Array.isArray(received.properties);
return {
pass,
message: () => `expected ${received} to be a valid node`
};
};
// Usage
expect(node).toBeValidNode();
```
### 4. Snapshot Testing
```typescript
// For complex structures
it('should generate correct node schema', () => {
const schema = generateNodeSchema(node);
expect(schema).toMatchSnapshot();
});
```
### 5. Test Isolation
```typescript
// Always clean up after tests
afterEach(async () => {
await cleanup();
vi.clearAllMocks();
vi.restoreAllMocks();
});
```

# Token Efficiency Improvements Summary
## Overview
Made all MCP tool descriptions concise and token-efficient while preserving essential information.
## Key Improvements
### Before vs After Examples
1. **search_nodes**
- Before: ~350 chars with verbose explanation
- After: 165 chars
- `Search nodes by keywords. Modes: OR (any word), AND (all words), FUZZY (typos OK). Primary nodes ranked first. Examples: "webhook"→Webhook, "http call"→HTTP Request.`
2. **get_node_info**
- Before: ~450 chars with warnings about size
- After: 174 chars
- `Get FULL node schema (100KB+). TIP: Use get_node_essentials first! Returns all properties/operations/credentials. Prefix required: "nodes-base.httpRequest" not "httpRequest".`
3. **validate_node_minimal**
- Before: ~350 chars explaining what it doesn't do
- After: 102 chars
- `Fast check for missing required fields only. No warnings/suggestions. Returns: list of missing fields.`
4. **get_property_dependencies**
- Before: ~400 chars with full example
- After: 131 chars
- `Shows property dependencies and visibility rules. Example: sendBody=true reveals body fields. Test visibility with optional config.`
## Statistics
### Documentation Tools (22 tools)
- Average description length: **129 characters**
- Total characters: 2,836
- Tools over 200 chars: 1 (list_nodes at 204)
### Management Tools (17 tools)
- Average description length: **93 characters**
- Total characters: 1,578
- Tools over 200 chars: 1 (n8n_update_partial_workflow at 284)
## Strategy Used
1. **Remove redundancy**: Eliminated repeated information available in parameter descriptions
2. **Use abbreviations**: "vs" instead of "versus", "&" instead of "and" where appropriate
3. **Compact examples**: `"webhook"→Webhook` instead of verbose explanations
4. **Direct language**: "Fast check" instead of "Quick validation that only checks"
5. **Move details to documentation**: Complex tools reference `tools_documentation()` for full details
6. **Essential info only**: Focus on what the tool does, not how it works internally
## Special Cases
### n8n_update_partial_workflow
This tool's description is necessarily longer (284 chars) because:
- Lists all 13 operation types
- Critical for users to know available operations
- Directs to full documentation for details
### Complex Documentation Preserved
For tools like `n8n_update_partial_workflow`, detailed documentation was moved to `tools-documentation.ts` rather than deleted, ensuring users can still access comprehensive information when needed.
## Impact
- **Token savings**: ~65-70% reduction in description tokens
- **Faster AI responses**: Less context used for tool descriptions
- **Better UX**: Clearer, more scannable tool list
- **Maintained functionality**: All essential information preserved

# Transactional Updates Example
This example demonstrates the new transactional update capabilities in v2.7.0.
## Before (v2.6.x and earlier)
Previously, you had to carefully order operations to ensure nodes existed before connecting them:
```json
{
"id": "workflow-123",
"operations": [
// 1. First add all nodes
{ "type": "addNode", "node": { "name": "Process", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.set", ... }},
{ "type": "addNode", "node": { "name": "Notify", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.slack", ... }},
// 2. Then add connections (would fail if done before nodes)
{ "type": "addConnection", "source": "Webhook", "target": "Process" },
{ "type": "addConnection", "source": "Process", "target": "Notify" }
]
}
```
## After (v2.7.0+)
Now you can write operations in any order - the engine automatically handles dependencies:
```json
{
"id": "workflow-123",
"operations": [
// Connections can come first!
{ "type": "addConnection", "source": "Webhook", "target": "Process" },
{ "type": "addConnection", "source": "Process", "target": "Notify" },
// Nodes added later - still works!
{ "type": "addNode", "node": { "name": "Process", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.set", "position": [400, 300] }},
{ "type": "addNode", "node": { "name": "Notify", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.slack", "position": [600, 300] }}
]
}
```
## How It Works
1. **Two-Pass Processing**:
- Pass 1: All node operations (add, remove, update, move, enable, disable)
- Pass 2: All other operations (connections, settings, metadata)
2. **Operation Limit**: Maximum 5 operations per request keeps complexity manageable
3. **Atomic Updates**: All operations succeed or all fail - no partial updates
## Benefits for AI Agents
- **Intuitive**: Write operations in the order that makes sense logically
- **Reliable**: No need to track dependencies manually
- **Simple**: Focus on what to change, not how to order changes
- **Safe**: Built-in limits prevent overly complex operations
## Complete Example
Here's a real-world example of adding error handling to a workflow:
```json
{
"id": "workflow-123",
"operations": [
// Define the flow first (makes logical sense)
{
"type": "removeConnection",
"source": "HTTP Request",
"target": "Save to DB"
},
{
"type": "addConnection",
"source": "HTTP Request",
"target": "Error Handler"
},
{
"type": "addConnection",
"source": "Error Handler",
"target": "Send Alert"
},
// Then add the nodes
{
"type": "addNode",
"node": {
"name": "Error Handler",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.if",
"position": [500, 400],
"parameters": {
"conditions": {
"boolean": [{
"value1": "={{$json.error}}",
"value2": true
}]
}
}
}
},
{
"type": "addNode",
"node": {
"name": "Send Alert",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.emailSend",
"position": [700, 400],
"parameters": {
"to": "alerts@company.com",
"subject": "Workflow Error Alert"
}
}
}
]
}
```
All operations will be processed correctly, even though connections reference nodes that don't exist yet!

# Validation Improvements v2.4.2
Based on AI agent feedback, we've implemented several improvements to the `validate_node_operation` tool:
## 🎯 Issues Addressed
### 1. **@version Warnings** ✅ FIXED
- **Issue**: Showed confusing warnings about `@version` property not being used
- **Fix**: Filter out internal properties starting with `@` or `_`
- **Result**: No more false warnings about internal n8n properties
### 2. **Duplicate Errors** ✅ FIXED
- **Issue**: Same error shown multiple times (e.g., missing `ts` field)
- **Fix**: Implemented deduplication that keeps the most specific error message
- **Result**: Each error shown only once with the best description
### 3. **Basic Code Validation** ✅ ADDED
- **Issue**: No syntax validation for Code node
- **Fix**: Added basic syntax checks for JavaScript and Python
- **Features**:
- Unbalanced braces/parentheses detection
- Python indentation consistency check
- n8n-specific patterns (return statement, input access)
- Security warnings (eval/exec usage)
## 📊 Before & After
### Before (v2.4.1):
```json
{
"errors": [
{ "property": "ts", "message": "Required property 'Message Timestamp' is missing" },
{ "property": "ts", "message": "Message timestamp (ts) is required to update a message" }
],
"warnings": [
{ "property": "@version", "message": "Property '@version' is configured but won't be used" }
]
}
```
### After (v2.4.2):
```json
{
"errors": [
{ "property": "ts", "message": "Message timestamp (ts) is required to update a message",
"fix": "Provide the timestamp of the message to update" }
],
"warnings": [] // No @version warning
}
```
## 🆕 Code Validation Examples
### JavaScript Syntax Check:
```javascript
// Missing closing brace
if (true) {
return items;
// Error: "Unbalanced braces detected"
```
### Python Indentation Check:
```python
def process():
if True: # Tab
return items # Spaces
# Error: "Mixed tabs and spaces in indentation"
```
### n8n Pattern Check:
```javascript
const result = items.map(item => item.json);
// Warning: "No return statement found"
// Suggestion: "Add: return items;"
```
## 🚀 Impact
- **Cleaner validation results** - No more noise from internal properties
- **Clearer error messages** - Each issue reported once with best description
- **Better code quality** - Basic syntax validation catches common mistakes
- **n8n best practices** - Warns about missing return statements and input handling
## 📝 Summary
The `validate_node_operation` tool is now even more helpful for AI agents and developers:
- 95% reduction in false positives (operation-aware)
- No duplicate or confusing warnings
- Basic code validation for common syntax errors
- n8n-specific pattern checking
**Rating improved from 9/10 to 9.5/10!** 🎉

# n8n-MCP v2.7.0 Release Notes
## 🎉 What's New
### 🔧 File Refactoring & Version Management
- **Renamed core MCP files** to remove unnecessary suffixes for cleaner codebase:
- `tools-update.ts``tools.ts`
- `server-update.ts``server.ts`
- `http-server-fixed.ts``http-server.ts`
- **Fixed version management** - Now reads from package.json as single source of truth (fixes #5)
- **Updated imports** across 21+ files to use the new file names
### 🔍 New Diagnostic Tool
- **Added `n8n_diagnostic` tool** - Helps troubleshoot why n8n management tools might not be appearing
- Shows environment variable status, API connectivity, and tool availability
- Provides step-by-step troubleshooting guidance
- Includes verbose mode for additional debug information
### 🧹 Code Cleanup
- Removed legacy HTTP server implementation with known issues
- Removed unused legacy API client
- Added version utility for consistent version handling
- Added script to sync runtime package version
## 📦 Installation
### Docker (Recommended)
```bash
docker pull ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:2.7.0
```
### Claude Desktop
Update your configuration to use the latest version:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"n8n-mcp": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:2.7.0"]
}
}
}
```
## 🐛 Bug Fixes
- Fixed version mismatch where version was hardcoded as 2.4.1 instead of reading from package.json
- Improved error messages for better debugging
## 📚 Documentation Updates
- Condensed version history in CLAUDE.md
- Updated documentation structure in README.md
- Removed outdated documentation files
- Added n8n_diagnostic tool to documentation
## 🙏 Acknowledgments
Thanks to all contributors and users who reported issues!
