fix: mcpTrigger nodes no longer flagged as disconnected (#503 ) (#506 )

Fixed validation bug where mcpTrigger nodes were incorrectly flagged as "disconnected nodes" when using n8n_update_partial_workflow or n8n_update_full_workflow. This blocked ALL updates to MCP server workflows. Changes: - Extended validateWorkflowStructure() to check all 7 connection types (main, error, ai_tool, ai_languageModel, ai_memory, ai_embedding, ai_vectorStore) - Updated trigger node validation to accept either outgoing OR inbound connections - Added 7 new tests covering all AI connection types Fixes #503 Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - https://www.aiadvisors.pl/en 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Romuald Członkowski <romualdczlonkowski@MacBook-Pro-Romuald.local> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

+### Fixed
+
+**mcpTrigger Nodes No Longer Incorrectly Flagged as "Disconnected" (Issue #503)**
+
+Fixed a validation bug where `mcpTrigger` nodes were incorrectly flagged as "disconnected nodes" when using `n8n_update_partial_workflow` or `n8n_update_full_workflow`. This blocked ALL updates to MCP server workflows.
+
+**Root Cause:**
+The `validateWorkflowStructure()` function only checked `main` connections when building the connected nodes set, ignoring AI connection types (`ai_tool`, `ai_languageModel`, `ai_memory`, `ai_embedding`, `ai_vectorStore`). Additionally, trigger nodes were only checked for outgoing connections, but `mcpTrigger` only receives inbound `ai_tool` connections.
+
+**Changes:**
+- Extended connection validation to check all 7 connection types (main, error, ai_tool, ai_languageModel, ai_memory, ai_embedding, ai_vectorStore)
+- Updated trigger node validation to accept either outgoing OR inbound connections
+- Added 7 new tests covering all AI connection types
+
+**Impact:**
+- MCP server workflows can now be updated, renamed, and deactivated normally
+- All `n8n_update_*` operations work correctly for AI workflows
+- No breaking changes for existing workflows
+
+## [2.31.0] - 2025-12-23
+
+### Added
+
+**New `error` Mode for Execution Debugging**
+
+Added a new `mode='error'` option to `n8n_executions` action=get that's optimized for AI agents debugging workflow failures. This mode provides intelligent error extraction with 80-99% token savings compared to `mode='full'`.
+
+**Key Features:**
+
+- **Error Analysis**: Extracts error message, type, node name, and relevant parameters
+- **Upstream Context**: Samples input data from the node feeding into the error node (configurable limit)
+- **Execution Path**: Shows the node execution sequence from trigger to error
+- **AI Suggestions**: Pattern-based fix suggestions for common errors (missing fields, auth issues, rate limits, etc.)
+- **Workflow Fetch**: Optionally fetches workflow structure for accurate upstream detection
+
+**New Parameters for `mode='error'`:**
+
+- `errorItemsLimit` (default: 2) - Number of sample items from upstream node
+- `includeStackTrace` (default: false) - Include full vs truncated stack trace
+- `includeExecutionPath` (default: true) - Include node execution path
+- `fetchWorkflow` (default: true) - Fetch workflow for accurate upstream detection
+
+**Token Efficiency:**
+
+| Execution Size | Full Mode | Error Mode | Savings |
+|----------------|-----------|------------|---------|
+| 11 items | ~11KB | ~3KB | 73% |
+| 1001 items | ~354KB | ~3KB | 99% |
+
+**AI Suggestion Patterns Detected:**
+
+- Missing required fields
+- Authentication/authorization issues
+- Rate limiting
+- Network/connection errors
+- Invalid JSON format
+- Missing data fields
+- Type mismatches
+- Timeouts
+- Permission denied
+
+**Usage Examples:**
+
+```javascript
+// Basic error debugging
+n8n_executions({action: "get", id: "exec_123", mode: "error"})
+
+// With more sample data
+n8n_executions({action: "get", id: "exec_123", mode: "error", errorItemsLimit: 5})
+
+// With full stack trace
+n8n_executions({action: "get", id: "exec_123", mode: "error", includeStackTrace: true})
+```
