feat: n8n_deploy_template deploy-first with auto-fix (v2.27.2) (#457 )

* feat: n8n_deploy_template deploy-first with auto-fix (v2.27.2) Improved template deployment to deploy first, then automatically fix common issues. This dramatically improves deployment success rates for templates with expression format issues. Key Changes: - Deploy-first behavior: templates deployed before validation - Auto-fix runs automatically after deployment (configurable via `autoFix`) - Returns `fixesApplied` array showing all corrections made - Fixed expression validator "nested expressions" false positive - Fixed Zod schema missing `typeversion-upgrade` and `version-migration` fix types Testing: 87% deployment success rate across 15 diverse templates 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - https://www.aiadvisors.pl/en * fix: address code review findings for deploy template Code review fixes: - CRITICAL: Update test schema to use `autoFix` instead of old `validate` parameter - WARNING: Add `AppliedFix` and `AutofixResultData` interfaces for type safety - WARNING: Add `autoFixStatus` field to response (success/failed/skipped) - WARNING: Report auto-fix failure in response message Changes: - tests/unit/mcp/handlers-deploy-template.test.ts: Fixed schema and test cases - src/mcp/handlers-n8n-manager.ts: Added type definitions, autoFixStatus tracking - src/mcp/tool-docs/workflow_management/n8n-deploy-template.ts: Updated docs 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

 ## [Unreleased]

+## [2.27.2] - 2025-11-29
+
+### ✨ Enhanced Features
+
+**n8n_deploy_template: Deploy-First with Auto-Fix**
+
+Improved the template deployment tool to deploy first, then automatically fix common issues. This change dramatically improves deployment success rates for templates with expression format issues.
+
+#### Key Changes
+
+1. **Deploy-First Behavior**
+   - Templates are now deployed first without pre-validation
+   - Auto-fix runs automatically after deployment (configurable via `autoFix` parameter)
+   - Returns `fixesApplied` array showing all corrections made
+
+2. **Fixed Expression Validator False Positive**
+   - Fixed "nested expressions" detection that incorrectly flagged valid patterns
+   - Multiple expressions in one string like `={{ $a }} text {{ $b }}` now correctly pass validation
+   - Only truly nested patterns like `{{ {{ $json }} }}` are flagged as errors
+
+3. **Fixed Zod Schema Validation**
+   - Added missing `typeversion-upgrade` and `version-migration` fix types to autofix schema
+   - Prevents silent validation failures when autofix runs
+
+#### Usage
+
+```javascript
+// Deploy with auto-fix (default behavior)
+n8n_deploy_template({
+  templateId: 2776,
+  name: "My Workflow"
+})
+
+// Deploy without auto-fix (not recommended)
+n8n_deploy_template({
+  templateId: 2776,
+  autoFix: false
+})
+```
+
+#### Response
+
+```json
+{
+  "workflowId": "abc123",
+  "name": "My Workflow",
+  "fixesApplied": [
+    {
+      "node": "HTTP Request",
+      "field": "url",
+      "type": "expression-format",
+      "before": "https://api.com/{{ $json.id }}",
+      "after": "=https://api.com/{{ $json.id }}",
+      "confidence": "high"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+#### Testing Results
+
+- 87% deployment success rate across 15 diverse templates
+- Auto-fix correctly adds `=` prefix to expressions missing it
+- Auto-fix correctly upgrades outdated typeVersions
+- Failed deployments are legitimate issues (missing community nodes, incomplete templates)

+## [2.27.1] - 2025-11-29
+
+### 🐛 Bug Fixes
+
+**Issue #454: Docker Image Missing Zod Fix from #450**
+
+Fixed Docker image build that was missing the pinned MCP SDK version, causing `n8n_create_workflow` Zod validation errors to persist in the 2.27.0 Docker image.
+
+#### Root Cause
+
+Two files were not updated when #450 pinned the SDK version in `package.json`:
+- `package.runtime.json` had `"@modelcontextprotocol/sdk": "^1.13.2"` instead of `"1.20.1"`
+- `Dockerfile` builder stage had `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk@^1.12.1` hardcoded
+
+The Docker runtime stage uses `package.runtime.json` (not `package.json`), and the builder stage has hardcoded dependency versions.
+
+#### Changes
+
+- **package.runtime.json**: Updated SDK to pinned version `"1.20.1"` (no caret)
+- **Dockerfile**: Updated builder stage SDK to `@1.20.1` and pinned `zod@3.24.1`
+
+#### Impact
+
+- Docker images now include the correct MCP SDK version with Zod fix
+- `n8n_create_workflow` and other workflow tools work correctly in Docker deployments
+- No changes to functionality - this is a build configuration fix
+
+Fixes #454

+
+## [2.27.0] - 2025-11-28
+
+### ✨ Features
+
+**n8n_deploy_template Tool**
+
+Added new tool for one-click deployment of n8n.io workflow templates directly to your n8n instance.
+
+#### Key Features
+
+- Fetches templates from n8n.io by ID
+- Automatically upgrades node typeVersions to latest supported
+- Validates workflow before deployment
+- Lists required credentials for configuration
+- Strips credential references (user configures in n8n UI)
+
+#### Usage
+
+```javascript
+n8n_deploy_template({
+  templateId: 2639,           // Required: template ID from n8n.io
+  name: "My Custom Name",     // Optional: custom workflow name
+  autoUpgradeVersions: true,  // Default: upgrade node versions
+  validate: true,             // Default: validate before deploy
+  stripCredentials: true      // Default: remove credential refs
+})
+```

+
+## [2.26.5] - 2025-11-27
+
+### 🔧 Fixed
+
+- **Tools Documentation: Runtime Token Optimization**
+  - Removed historical migration information from tool descriptions (e.g., "Replaces X, Y, Z...")
+  - Removed version-specific references (v2.21.1, issue #357) that are not needed at runtime
+  - Cleaned up consolidation comments in index.ts
+  - Documentation now starts directly with functional content for better AI agent efficiency
+  - Estimated savings: ~128 tokens per full documentation request
+  - Affected tools: `get_node`, `validate_node`, `search_templates`, `n8n_executions`, `n8n_get_workflow`, `n8n_update_partial_workflow`
+
+**Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - [AiAdvisors](https://www.aiadvisors.pl/en)**
+
+## [2.26.4] - 2025-11-26
+
+### 🔧 Fixed
+
+- **n8n 1.121 Compatibility**: Added support for new workflow settings introduced in n8n 1.121
+  - Added `availableInMCP` (boolean) to settings whitelist - controls "Available in MCP" toggle
+  - Added `callerPolicy` to settings whitelist - was already in schema but missing from sanitization
+  - Both settings are now preserved during workflow updates instead of being silently stripped
+  - Settings can be toggled via `updateSettings` operation: `{type: "updateSettings", settings: {availableInMCP: true}}`
+
+**Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - [AiAdvisors](https://www.aiadvisors.pl/en)**
+
+## [2.26.3] - 2025-11-26
+
+### 🔧 Fixed
+
+- **Tools Documentation Gaps**: Addressed remaining documentation issues after v2.26.2 tool consolidation
+  - Added missing `n8n_workflow_versions` documentation with all 6 modes (list, get, rollback, delete, prune, truncate)
+  - Removed non-existent tools (`n8n_diagnostic`, `n8n_list_available_tools`) from documentation exports
+  - Fixed 10+ outdated tool name references:
+    - `get_node_essentials` → `get_node({detail: "standard"})`
+    - `validate_node_operation` → `validate_node()`
+    - `get_minimal` → `n8n_get_workflow({mode: "minimal"})`
+  - Added missing `mode` and `verbose` parameters to `n8n_health_check` documentation
+  - Added missing `mode` parameter to `get_template` documentation (nodes_only, structure, full)
+  - Updated template count from "399+" to "2,700+" in `get_template`
+  - Updated node count from "525" to "500+" in `search_nodes`
+  - Fixed `relatedTools` arrays to remove references to non-existent tools

+# Antigravity Setup
+
+:white_check_mark: This n8n MCP server is compatible with Antigravity (Chat in IDE).
+
+## Preconditions
+
+Assuming you've already deployed the n8n MCP server locally and connected it to the n8n API, and it's available at:
+`http://localhost:5678`
+
+Or if you are using `https://n8n.your.production.url/` then just replace the URLs in the below code.
+
+💡 The deployment process is documented in the [HTTP Deployment Guide](./HTTP_DEPLOYMENT.md).
+
+## Step 1
+
+Add n8n-mcp globally: `npm install -g n8n-mcp`
+
+## Step 2
+
+Add MCP server by clicking three dots `...` on the top right of chat, and click MCP Servers.
+Then click on "Manage MCP Servers" and then click on "View raw config" and `C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\.gemini\antigravity\mcp_config.json` will be opened.
+
+## Step 3
+
+Add the following code to: `C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\.gemini\antigravity\mcp_config.json` and save the file.
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "n8n-mcp": {
+      "command": "node",
+      "args": [
+        "C:\\Users\\<USER_NAME>\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\n8n-mcp\\dist\\mcp\\index.js"
+      ],
+      "env": {
+        "MCP_MODE": "stdio",
+        "LOG_LEVEL": "error",
+        "DISABLE_CONSOLE_OUTPUT": "true",
+        "N8N_API_URL": "http://localhost:5678",
+        "N8N_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:5678",
+        "N8N_API_KEY": ""
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Step 4
+
+Go back to "Manage MCP servers" and click referesh. The n8n-mcp will be enabled with all the tools.
+
+
+## Step 5
+
+For the best results when using n8n-MCP with Antigravity, use these enhanced system instructions (create `AGENTS.md` in the root directory of the project, `AGENTS.md` is the file standard for giving special instructions in Antigravity):
+
+````markdown
+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
+
+### 1. Silent Execution
+CRITICAL: Execute tools without commentary. Only respond AFTER all tools complete.
+
+❌ BAD: "Let me search for Slack nodes... Great! Now let me get details..."
+✅ GOOD: [Execute search_nodes and get_node 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 (2,709 available).
+
+### 4. Multi-Level Validation
+Use validate_node(mode='minimal') → validate_node(mode='full') → 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({searchMode: 'by_metadata', complexity: 'simple'})` - Smart filtering
+   - `search_templates({searchMode: 'by_task', task: 'webhook_processing'})` - Curated by task
+   - `search_templates({query: 'slack notification'})` - Text search (default searchMode='keyword')
+   - `search_templates({searchMode: 'by_nodes', nodeTypes: ['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
+   - `search_nodes({query: 'trigger'})` - Browse triggers
+   - `search_nodes({query: 'AI agent langchain'})` - AI-capable nodes
+
+4. **Configuration Phase** (parallel for multiple nodes)
+   - `get_node({nodeType, detail: 'standard', includeExamples: true})` - Essential properties (default)
+   - `get_node({nodeType, detail: 'minimal'})` - Basic metadata only (~200 tokens)
+   - `get_node({nodeType, detail: 'full'})` - Complete information (~3000-8000 tokens)
+   - `get_node({nodeType, mode: 'search_properties', propertyQuery: 'auth'})` - Find specific properties
+   - `get_node({nodeType, mode: 'docs'})` - Human-readable markdown documentation
+   - Show workflow architecture to user for approval before proceeding
+
+5. **Validation Phase** (parallel for multiple nodes)
+   - `validate_node({nodeType, config, mode: 'minimal'})` - Quick required fields check
+   - `validate_node({nodeType, config, mode: 'full', profile: 'runtime'})` - Full validation with fixes
+   - Fix ALL 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
+   - Connect nodes with proper structure
+   - Add error handling
+   - Use n8n expressions: $json, $node["NodeName"].json
+   - Build in artifact (unless deploying to 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
+
+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
+
+## Critical Warnings
+
+### ⚠️ 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` + `validate_node({mode: 'minimal'})`
+
+## Validation Strategy
+
+### Level 1 - Quick Check (before building)
+`validate_node({nodeType, config, mode: 'minimal'})` - Required fields only (<100ms)
+
+### Level 2 - Comprehensive (before building)
+`validate_node({nodeType, config, mode: 'full', profile: 'runtime'})` - Full validation with fixes
+
+### Level 3 - Complete (after building)
+`validate_workflow(workflow)` - Connections, expressions, AI tools
+
+### Level 4 - Post-Deployment
+1. `n8n_validate_workflow({id})` - Validate deployed workflow
+2. `n8n_autofix_workflow({id})` - Auto-fix common errors
+3. `n8n_executions({action: 'list'})` - Monitor execution status
+
+## 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"
+}
+```
+
+## Example Workflow
+
+### Template-First Approach
+
+```
+// STEP 1: Template Discovery (parallel execution)
+[Silent execution]
+search_templates({
+  searchMode: 'by_metadata',
+  requiredService: 'slack',
+  complexity: 'simple',
+  targetAudience: 'marketers'
+})
+search_templates({searchMode: 'by_task', 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})
+search_nodes({query: 'communication trigger'})
+
+// STEP 2: Configuration (parallel execution)
+[Silent execution]
+get_node({nodeType: 'n8n-nodes-base.slack', detail: 'standard', includeExamples: true})
+get_node({nodeType: 'n8n-nodes-base.webhook', detail: 'standard', includeExamples: true})
+
+// STEP 3: Validation (parallel execution)
+[Silent execution]
+validate_node({nodeType: 'n8n-nodes-base.slack', config, mode: 'minimal'})
+validate_node({nodeType: 'n8n-nodes-base.slack', config: fullConfig, mode: 'full', profile: 'runtime'})
+
+// STEP 4: Build
+// Construct workflow with validated configs
+// ⚠️ Set ALL parameters explicitly
+
+// STEP 5: Validate
+[Silent execution]
+validate_workflow(workflowJson)
+
+// Response after all tools complete:
+"Created workflow: Webhook → Slack
+Validation: ✅ Passed"
+```
+
+### Batch Updates
+
+```json
+// ONE call with multiple operations
+n8n_update_partial_workflow({
+  id: "wf-123",
+  operations: [
+    {type: "updateNode", nodeId: "slack-1", changes: {position: [100, 200]}},
+    {type: "updateNode", nodeId: "http-1", changes: {position: [300, 200]}},
+    {type: "cleanStaleConnections"}
+  ]
+})
+```
+
+## 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 (2,709 available)
+4. **Multi-level validation** - Quick check → Full validation → Workflow validation
+5. **Never trust defaults** - Explicitly configure ALL parameters
+
+### 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):
+
+1. **n8n-nodes-base.code** - JavaScript/Python scripting
+2. **n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest** - HTTP API calls
+3. **n8n-nodes-base.webhook** - Event-driven triggers
+4. **n8n-nodes-base.set** - Data transformation
+5. **n8n-nodes-base.if** - Conditional routing
+6. **n8n-nodes-base.manualTrigger** - Manual workflow execution
+7. **n8n-nodes-base.respondToWebhook** - Webhook responses
+8. **n8n-nodes-base.scheduleTrigger** - Time-based triggers
+9. **@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.agent** - AI agents
+10. **n8n-nodes-base.googleSheets** - Spreadsheet integration
+11. **n8n-nodes-base.merge** - Data merging
+12. **n8n-nodes-base.switch** - Multi-branch routing
+13. **n8n-nodes-base.telegram** - Telegram bot integration
+14. **@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.lmChatOpenAi** - OpenAI chat models
+15. **n8n-nodes-base.splitInBatches** - Batch processing
+16. **n8n-nodes-base.openAi** - OpenAI legacy node
+17. **n8n-nodes-base.gmail** - Email automation
+18. **n8n-nodes-base.function** - Custom functions
+19. **n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote** - Workflow documentation
+20. **n8n-nodes-base.executeWorkflowTrigger** - Sub-workflow calls
+
+**Note:** LangChain nodes use the `@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.` prefix, core nodes use `n8n-nodes-base.`
+
+````
+
+This helps the agent produce higher-quality, well-structured n8n workflows.
+
+🧪 This setup is for windows but for Mac and Linux also, it is similar, just provide the absolute path of the global `n8n-mcp` install! 😄 Stay tuned for updates!

They should ONLY have connections like \`ai_languageModel\`, \`ai_memory\`, \`ai_embedding\`, or \`ai_tool\` - NOT \`main\` connections.
- **Fixed in v2.21.1**: Validation now correctly recognizes AI nodes that only have AI-specific connections without requiring \`main\` connections (resolves issue #357).

This dramatically improves deployment success rates for templates with expression format issues. Key Changes: - Deploy-first behavior: templates deployed before validation - Auto-fix runs automatically after deployment (configurable via `autoFix`) - Returns `fixesApplied` array showing all corrections made - Fixed expression validator "nested expressions" false positive - Fixed Zod schema missing `typeversion-upgrade` and `version-migration` fix types Testing: 87% deployment success rate across 15 diverse templates 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - https://www.aiadvisors.pl/en * fix: address code review findings for deploy template Code review fixes: - CRITICAL: Update test schema to use `autoFix` instead of old `validate` parameter - WARNING: Add `AppliedFix` and `AutofixResultData` interfaces for type safety - WARNING: Add `autoFixStatus` field to response (success/failed/skipped) - WARNING: Report auto-fix failure in response message Changes: - tests/unit/mcp/handlers-deploy-template.test.ts: Fixed schema and test cases - src/mcp/handlers-n8n-manager.ts: Added type definitions, autoFixStatus tracking - src/mcp/tool-docs/workflow_management/n8n-deploy-template.ts: Updated docs 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>	2025-11-29 16:10:14 +01:00

Romuald Członkowski	e7dd04b471	feat: add n8n_deploy_template tool for one-click template deployment (v2.27.0) (#453 ) * feat: add n8n_deploy_template tool for one-click template deployment (v2.27.0) Add new MCP tool that deploys n8n.io workflow templates directly to user's n8n instance in a single operation. Features: - Fetch template from local database - Extract and report required credentials - Optionally strip credentials (default: true) - Optionally auto-upgrade node typeVersions (default: true) - Optionally validate before deployment (default: true) - Return workflow ID, URL, and setup guidance Parameters: - templateId (required): Template ID from n8n.io - name (optional): Custom workflow name - autoUpgradeVersions (default: true) - validate (default: true) - stripCredentials (default: true) Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - https://www.aiadvisors.pl/en 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: address code review findings for n8n_deploy_template - Fix health check tool count (12 → 13) to include new tool - Add templateId validation (must be positive integer) - Use deep copy of workflow to prevent template mutation - Expand unit tests with negative/zero/decimal validation cases Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - https://www.aiadvisors.pl/en 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: update README with n8n_deploy_template tool - Update management tools count from 12 to 13 - Add n8n_deploy_template to the tools list Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - https://www.aiadvisors.pl/en 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: prevent workflow validator from mutating node types The validator was incorrectly mutating node types from full form (n8n-nodes-base.) to short form (nodes-base.) during validation. This caused deployed workflows to show "?" icons in n8n UI because the API requires full form node types. Also updated SplitInBatches detection to check both node type forms since workflows may contain either format.

That version accepts `"zod": "^3.25 \|\| ^4.0"`, causing npm to deduplicate to Zod v4. SDK 1.23.0's `isZ4Schema()` function crashes when called with undefined, which happens for plain JSON Schema objects. Changes: - Pin SDK to exact version 1.20.1 (removes ^ prefix) - Pin Zod to exact version 3.24.1 (removes ^ prefix) - Add CI workflow to verify fresh installs get compatible versions The new CI workflow: - Packs and installs package fresh (without lockfile) - Verifies SDK is exactly 1.20.1 - Verifies Zod is NOT v4 (blocks 4.x.x) - Runs weekly to catch upstream dependency changes Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - https://www.aiadvisors.pl/en 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: improve dependency-check workflow based on code review - Add workflow_dispatch for manual triggering/debugging - Add explicit "not found" handling for version detection failures - Use regex pattern for Zod v4 check to catch pre-release versions - Add Zod error pattern detection in functionality test - Capture stderr output for comprehensive error checking Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - https://www.aiadvisors.pl/en 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>	2025-11-29 00:48:26 +01:00

Romuald Członkowski	bac4936c6d	fix: add n8n 1.121 availableInMCP and callerPolicy settings support (v2.26.4) (#445 ) * fix: add n8n 1.121 availableInMCP and callerPolicy settings support (v2.26.4) n8n 1.121 introduced a new workflow setting `availableInMCP` (boolean) that controls whether a workflow is "Available in MCP". The sanitization whitelist was missing this field, causing it to be silently stripped during workflow updates. Changes: - Added `availableInMCP` to Zod schema in workflowSettingsSchema - Added `availableInMCP` and `callerPolicy` to safeSettingsProperties whitelist - Both settings are now preserved during workflow updates - Settings can be toggled via updateSettings operation 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - www.aiadvisors.pl/en * test: update tests for callerPolicy and availableInMCP whitelist changes Updated 5 tests in n8n-validation.test.ts that expected callerPolicy to be filtered out. Since callerPolicy and availableInMCP are now whitelisted (n8n 1.121+), the tests now verify these settings are preserved during workflow updates. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>	2025-11-26 20:17:34 +01:00
