Resolve GitHub Issue 292 in n8n-mcp (#375)

* docs: add comprehensive documentation for removing node properties with undefined

Add detailed documentation section for property removal pattern in n8n_update_partial_workflow tool:
- New "Removing Properties with undefined" section explaining the pattern
- Examples showing basic, nested, and batch property removal
- Migration guide for deprecated properties (continueOnFail → onError)
- Best practices for when to use undefined
- Pitfalls to avoid (null vs undefined, mutual exclusivity, etc.)

This addresses the documentation gap reported in issue #292 where users
were confused about how to remove properties during node updates.

* fix: correct array property removal documentation in n8n_update_partial_workflow (Issue #292)

Fixed critical documentation error showing array index notation [0] which doesn't work.
The setNestedProperty implementation treats "headers[0]" as a literal object key, not an array index.

Changes:
- Updated nested property removal section to show entire array removal
- Corrected example rm5 to use "parameters.headers" instead of "parameters.headers[0]"
- Replaced misleading pitfall with accurate warning about array index notation not being supported

Impact:
- Prevents user confusion and non-functional code
- All examples now show correct, working patterns
- Clear warning helps users avoid this mistake

+---
+
+You are n8n-mcp-tester, a specialized testing agent for the n8n Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. You validate that MCP tools and functionality work correctly in real-world scenarios after fixes or new features are implemented.
+
+## Your Core Responsibilities
+
+You test the n8n-mcp server by:
+1. Using MCP tools to build, validate, and manipulate n8n workflows
+2. Verifying that recent fixes resolve the reported issues
+3. Testing new functionality works as designed
+4. Reporting clear, actionable results back to the invoking agent
+
+## Testing Methodology
+
+When invoked with a test request, you will:
+
+1. **Understand the Context**: Identify what was fixed or added based on the instructions from the invoking agent
+
+2. **Design Test Scenarios**: Create specific test cases that:
+   - Target the exact functionality that was changed
+   - Include both positive and negative test cases
+   - Test edge cases and boundary conditions
+   - Use realistic n8n workflow configurations
+
+3. **Execute Tests Using MCP Tools**: You have access to all n8n-mcp tools including:
+   - `search_nodes`: Find relevant n8n nodes
+   - `get_node_info`: Get detailed node configuration
+   - `get_node_essentials`: Get simplified node information
+   - `validate_node_config`: Validate node configurations
+   - `n8n_validate_workflow`: Validate complete workflows
+   - `get_node_example`: Get working examples
+   - `search_templates`: Find workflow templates
+   - Additional tools as available in the MCP server
+
+4. **Verify Expected Behavior**: 
+   - Confirm fixes resolve the original issue
+   - Verify new features work as documented
+   - Check for regressions in related functionality
+   - Test error handling and edge cases
+
+5. **Report Results**: Provide clear feedback including:
+   - What was tested (specific tools and scenarios)
+   - Whether the fix/feature works as expected
+   - Any unexpected behaviors or issues discovered
+   - Specific error messages if failures occur
+   - Recommendations for additional testing if needed
+
+## Testing Guidelines
+
+- **Be Thorough**: Test multiple variations and edge cases
+- **Be Specific**: Use exact node types, properties, and configurations mentioned in the fix
+- **Be Realistic**: Create test scenarios that mirror actual n8n usage
+- **Be Clear**: Report results in a structured, easy-to-understand format
+- **Be Efficient**: Focus testing on the changed functionality first
+
+## Example Test Execution
+
+If testing a validation fix for HTTP Request nodes:
+1. Call `tools_documentation` to get a list of available tools and get documentation on `search_nodes` tool.
+2. Search for HTTP Request node using `search_nodes`
+3. Get node configuration with `get_node_info` or `get_node_essentials`
+4. Create test configurations that previously failed
+5. Validate using `validate_node_config` with different profiles
+6. Test in a complete workflow using `n8n_validate_workflow`
+6. Report whether validation now works correctly
+
+## Important Constraints
+
+- You can only test using the MCP tools available in the server
+- You cannot modify code or files - only test existing functionality
+- You must work with the current state of the MCP server (already reloaded)
+- Focus on functional testing, not unit testing
+- Report issues objectively without attempting to fix them
+
+## Response Format
+
+Structure your test results as:
+
+```
+### Test Report: [Feature/Fix Name]
+
+**Test Objective**: [What was being tested]
+
+**Test Scenarios**:
+1. [Scenario 1]: ✅/❌ [Result]
+2. [Scenario 2]: ✅/❌ [Result]
+
+**Findings**:
+- [Key finding 1]
+- [Key finding 2]
+
+**Conclusion**: [Overall assessment - works as expected / issues found]
+
+**Details**: [Any error messages, unexpected behaviors, or additional context]
+```
+
+Remember: Your role is to validate that the n8n-mcp server works correctly in practice, providing confidence that fixes and new features function as intended before deployment.

+# 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",
+      "args": [
+        "run", "-i", "--rm", "--init",

+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+> ⚠️ **Important:** Set `WEBHOOK_SECURITY_MODE=moderate` to allow webhooks to your local n8n instance. This is safe for local development while still blocking private networks and cloud metadata.
+
 **Important:** The `-i` flag is required for MCP stdio communication.

+## 🔐 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",

+        "ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest"
+      ]

+```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
+```

 ## 🤖 Claude Project Setup
 
 For the best results when using n8n-MCP with Claude Projects, use these enhanced system instructions:
 
-```markdown
+````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 Workflow Process
+## Core Principles
 
-1. **ALWAYS start new conversation with**: `tools_documentation()` to understand best practices and available tools.
+### 1. Silent Execution
+CRITICAL: Execute tools without commentary. Only respond AFTER all tools complete.
 
-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
+❌ 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
    - `list_nodes({category: 'trigger'})` - Browse by category
-   - `list_ai_tools()` - See AI-capable nodes (remember: ANY node can be an AI tool!)
+   - `list_ai_tools()` - AI-capable nodes
 
-3. **Configuration Phase** - Get node details efficiently:
-   - `get_node_essentials(nodeType)` - Start here! Only 10-20 essential properties
+4. **Configuration Phase** (parallel for multiple nodes)
+   - `get_node_essentials(nodeType, {includeExamples: true})` - 10-20 key properties
    - `search_node_properties(nodeType, 'auth')` - Find specific properties
-   - `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. 
+   - `get_node_documentation(nodeType)` - Human-readable docs
+   - Show workflow architecture to user for approval before proceeding
 
-4. **Pre-Validation Phase** - Validate BEFORE building:
+5. **Validation Phase** (parallel for multiple nodes)
    - `validate_node_minimal(nodeType, config)` - Quick required fields check
-   - `validate_node_operation(nodeType, config, profile)` - Full operation-aware validation
-   - Fix any validation errors before proceeding
+   - `validate_node_operation(nodeType, config, 'runtime')` - Full validation with fixes
+   - Fix ALL errors before proceeding
 
-5. **Building Phase** - Create the workflow:
-   - Use validated configurations from step 4
+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 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)
+   - Add error handling
+   - Use n8n expressions: $json, $node["NodeName"].json
+   - Build in artifact (unless deploying to n8n instance)
 
-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
+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
 
-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
+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
 
-## Key Insights
+## Critical Warnings
 
-- **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
+### ⚠️ 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`
 
 ## Validation Strategy
 
-### Before Building:
-1. validate_node_minimal() - Check required fields
-2. validate_node_operation() - Full configuration validation
-3. Fix all errors before proceeding
+### Level 1 - Quick Check (before building)
+`validate_node_minimal(nodeType, config)` - Required fields only (<100ms)
 
-### After Building:
-1. validate_workflow() - Complete workflow validation
-2. validate_workflow_connections() - Structure validation
-3. validate_workflow_expressions() - Expression syntax check
+### Level 2 - Comprehensive (before building)
+`validate_node_operation(nodeType, config, 'runtime')` - Full validation with fixes
 
-### 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 3 - Complete (after building)
+`validate_workflow(workflow)` - Connections, expressions, AI tools
 
-## Response Structure
+### 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
 
-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
+## 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
 
-### 1. Discovery & Configuration
-search_nodes({query: 'slack'})
-get_node_essentials('n8n-nodes-base.slack')
+### Template-First Approach
 
-### 2. Pre-Validation
-validate_node_minimal('n8n-nodes-base.slack', {resource:'message', operation:'send'})
+```
+// 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)
 validate_node_operation('n8n-nodes-base.slack', fullConfig, 'runtime')
 
-### 3. Build Workflow
-// Create workflow JSON with validated configs
+// STEP 4: Build
+// Construct workflow with validated configs
+// ⚠️ Set ALL parameters explicitly
 
-### 4. Workflow Validation
+// STEP 5: Validate
+[Silent execution]
 validate_workflow(workflowJson)
-validate_workflow_connections(workflowJson)
-validate_workflow_expressions(workflowJson)
 
-### 5. Deploy (if configured)
-n8n_create_workflow(validatedWorkflow)
-n8n_validate_workflow({id: createdWorkflowId})
+// Response after all tools complete:
+"Created workflow: Webhook → Slack
+Validation: ✅ Passed"
+```
 
-### 6. Update Using Diffs
+### Batch Updates
+
+```json
+// ONE call with multiple operations
 n8n_update_partial_workflow({
-  workflowId: id,
+  id: "wf-123",
   operations: [
-    {type: 'updateNode', nodeId: 'slack1', changes: {position: [100, 200]}}
+    {type: "updateNode", nodeId: "slack-1", changes: {position: [100, 200]}},
+    {type: "updateNode", nodeId: "http-1", changes: {position: [300, 200]}},
+    {type: "cleanStaleConnections"}
   ]
 })
+```
 
 ## Important Rules
 
-- 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
-```
+### 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

+# Docker Usage Guide for n8n-mcp
+
+## Running in HTTP Mode
+
+The n8n-mcp Docker container can be run in HTTP mode using several methods:
+
+### Method 1: Using Environment Variables (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+docker run -d -p 3000:3000 \
+  --name n8n-mcp-server \
+  -e MCP_MODE=http \
+  -e AUTH_TOKEN=your-secure-token-here \
+  ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest
+```
+
+### Method 2: Using docker-compose
+
+```bash
+# Create a .env file
+cat > .env << EOF
+MCP_MODE=http
+AUTH_TOKEN=your-secure-token-here
+PORT=3000
+EOF
+
+# Run with docker-compose
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+### Method 3: Using a Configuration File
+
+Create a `config.json` file:
+```json
+{
+  "MCP_MODE": "http",
+  "AUTH_TOKEN": "your-secure-token-here",
+  "PORT": "3000",
+  "LOG_LEVEL": "info"
+}
+```
+
+Run with the config file:
+```bash
+docker run -d -p 3000:3000 \
+  --name n8n-mcp-server \
+  -v $(pwd)/config.json:/app/config.json:ro \
+  ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest
+```
+
+### Method 4: Using the n8n-mcp serve Command
+
+```bash
+docker run -d -p 3000:3000 \
+  --name n8n-mcp-server \
+  -e AUTH_TOKEN=your-secure-token-here \
+  ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest \
+  n8n-mcp serve
+```
+
+## Important Notes
+
+1. **AUTH_TOKEN is required** for HTTP mode. Generate a secure token:
+   ```bash
+   openssl rand -base64 32
+   ```
+
+2. **Environment variables take precedence** over config file values
+
+3. **Default mode is stdio** if MCP_MODE is not specified
+
+4. **Health check endpoint** is available at `http://localhost:3000/health`
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Container exits immediately
+- Check logs: `docker logs n8n-mcp-server`
+- Ensure AUTH_TOKEN is set for HTTP mode
+
+### "n8n-mcp: not found" error
+- This has been fixed in the latest version
+- Use the full command: `node /app/dist/mcp/index.js` as a workaround
+
+### Config file not working
+- Ensure the file is valid JSON
+- Mount as read-only: `-v $(pwd)/config.json:/app/config.json:ro`
+- Check that the config parser is present: `docker exec n8n-mcp-server ls -la /app/docker/`

+# Automated Release Process
+
+This document describes the automated release system for n8n-mcp, which handles version detection, changelog parsing, and multi-artifact publishing.
+
+## Overview
+
+The automated release system is triggered when the version in `package.json` is updated and pushed to the main branch. It handles:
+
+- 🏷️ **GitHub Releases**: Creates releases with changelog content
+- 📦 **NPM Publishing**: Publishes optimized runtime package
+- 🐳 **Docker Images**: Builds and pushes multi-platform images
+- 📚 **Documentation**: Updates version badges automatically
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### For Maintainers
+
+Use the prepared release script for a guided experience:
+
+```bash
+npm run prepare:release
+```
+
+This script will:
+1. Prompt for the new version
+2. Update `package.json` and `package.runtime.json`
+3. Update the changelog
+4. Run tests and build
+5. Create a git commit
+6. Optionally push to trigger the release
+
+### Manual Process
+
+1. **Update the version**:
+   ```bash
+   # Edit package.json version field
+   vim package.json
+   
+   # Sync to runtime package
+   npm run sync:runtime-version
+   ```
+
+2. **Update the changelog**:
+   ```bash
+   # Edit docs/CHANGELOG.md
+   vim docs/CHANGELOG.md
+   ```
+
+3. **Test and commit**:
+   ```bash
+   # Ensure everything works
+   npm test
+   npm run build
+   npm run rebuild
+   
+   # Commit changes
+   git add package.json package.runtime.json docs/CHANGELOG.md
+   git commit -m "chore: release vX.Y.Z"
+   git push
+   ```
+
+## Workflow Details
+
+### Version Detection
+
+The workflow monitors pushes to the main branch and detects when `package.json` version changes:
+
+```yaml
+paths:
+  - 'package.json'
+  - 'package.runtime.json'
+```
+
+### Changelog Parsing
+
+Automatically extracts release notes from `docs/CHANGELOG.md` using the version header format:
+
+```markdown
+## [2.10.0] - 2025-08-02
+
+### Added
+- New feature descriptions
+
+### Changed
+- Changed feature descriptions
+
+### Fixed
+- Bug fix descriptions
+```
+
+### Release Artifacts
+
+#### GitHub Release
+- Created with extracted changelog content
+- Tagged with `vX.Y.Z` format
+- Includes installation instructions
+- Links to documentation
+
+#### NPM Package
+- Published as `n8n-mcp` on npmjs.com
+- Uses runtime-only dependencies (8 packages vs 50+ dev deps)
+- Optimized for `npx` usage
+- ~50MB vs 1GB+ with dev dependencies
+
+#### Docker Images
+- **Standard**: `ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:vX.Y.Z`
+- **Railway**: `ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp-railway:vX.Y.Z`
+- Multi-platform: linux/amd64, linux/arm64
+- Semantic version tags: `vX.Y.Z`, `vX.Y`, `vX`, `latest`
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Required Secrets
+
+Set these in GitHub repository settings → Secrets:
+
+| Secret | Description | Required |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| `NPM_TOKEN` | NPM authentication token for publishing | ✅ Yes |
+| `GITHUB_TOKEN` | Automatically provided by GitHub Actions | ✅ Auto |
+
+### NPM Token Setup
+
+1. Login to [npmjs.com](https://www.npmjs.com)
+2. Go to Account Settings → Access Tokens
+3. Create a new **Automation** token
+4. Add as `NPM_TOKEN` secret in GitHub
+
+## Testing
+
+### Test Release Automation
+
+Validate the release system without triggering a release:
+
+```bash
+npm run test:release-automation
+```
+
+This checks:
+- ✅ File existence and structure
+- ✅ Version detection logic
+- ✅ Changelog parsing
+- ✅ Build process
+- ✅ NPM package preparation
+- ✅ Docker configuration
+- ✅ Workflow syntax
+- ✅ Environment setup
+
+### Local Testing
+
+Test individual components:
+
+```bash
+# Test version detection
+node -e "console.log(require('./package.json').version)"
+
+# Test changelog parsing
+node scripts/test-release-automation.js
+
+# Test npm package preparation
+npm run prepare:publish
+
+# Test Docker build
+docker build -t test-image .
+```
+
+## Workflow Jobs
+
+### 1. Version Detection
+- Compares current vs previous version in git history
+- Determines if it's a prerelease (alpha, beta, rc, dev)
+- Outputs version information for other jobs
+
+### 2. Changelog Extraction
+- Parses `docs/CHANGELOG.md` for the current version
+- Extracts content between version headers
+- Provides formatted release notes
+
+### 3. GitHub Release Creation
+- Creates annotated git tag
+- Creates GitHub release with changelog content
+- Handles prerelease flag for alpha/beta versions
+
+### 4. Build and Test
+- Installs dependencies
+- Runs full test suite
+- Builds TypeScript
+- Rebuilds node database
+- Type checking
+
+### 5. NPM Publishing
+- Prepares optimized package structure
+- Uses `package.runtime.json` for dependencies
+- Publishes to npmjs.com registry
+- Automatic cleanup
+
+### 6. Docker Building
+- Multi-platform builds (amd64, arm64)
+- Two image variants (standard, railway)
+- Semantic versioning tags
+- GitHub Container Registry
+
+### 7. Documentation Updates
+- Updates version badges in README
+- Commits documentation changes
+- Automatic push back to repository
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### GitHub Actions
+Monitor releases at: https://github.com/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp/actions
+
+### Release Status
+- **GitHub Releases**: https://github.com/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp/releases
+- **NPM Package**: https://www.npmjs.com/package/n8n-mcp
+- **Docker Images**: https://github.com/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp/pkgs/container/n8n-mcp
+
+### Notifications
+
+The workflow provides comprehensive summaries:
+- ✅ Success notifications with links
+- ❌ Failure notifications with error details
+- 📊 Artifact information and installation commands
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### NPM Publishing Fails
+```
+Error: 401 Unauthorized
+```
+**Solution**: Check NPM_TOKEN secret is valid and has publishing permissions.
+
+#### Docker Build Fails
+```
+Error: failed to solve: could not read from registry
+```
+**Solution**: Check GitHub Container Registry permissions and GITHUB_TOKEN.
+
+#### Changelog Parsing Fails
+```
+No changelog entries found for version X.Y.Z
+```
+**Solution**: Ensure changelog follows the correct format:
+```markdown
+## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD
+```
+
+#### Version Detection Fails
+```
+Version not incremented
+```
+**Solution**: Ensure new version is greater than the previous version.
+
+### Recovery Steps
+
+#### Failed NPM Publish
+1. Check if version was already published
+2. If not, manually publish:
+   ```bash
+   npm run prepare:publish
+   cd npm-publish-temp
+   npm publish
+   ```
+
+#### Failed Docker Build
+1. Build locally to test:
+   ```bash
+   docker build -t test-build .
+   ```
+2. Re-trigger workflow or push a fix
+
+#### Incomplete Release
+1. Delete the created tag if needed:
+   ```bash
+   git tag -d vX.Y.Z
+   git push --delete origin vX.Y.Z
+   ```
+2. Fix issues and push again
+
+## Security
+
+### Secrets Management
+- NPM_TOKEN has limited scope (publish only)
+- GITHUB_TOKEN has automatic scoping
+- No secrets are logged or exposed
+
+### Package Security
+- Runtime package excludes development dependencies
+- No build tools or test frameworks in published package
+- Minimal attack surface (~50MB vs 1GB+)
+
+### Docker Security
+- Multi-stage builds
+- Non-root user execution
+- Minimal base images
+- Security scanning enabled
+
+## Changelog Format
+
+The automated system expects changelog entries in [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/) format:
+
+```markdown
+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added

+# 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

 ## Common Issues
 
+### Docker Configuration File Not Working (v2.8.2+)
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- Config file mounted but environment variables not set
+- Container starts but ignores configuration
+- Getting "permission denied" errors
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. **Ensure file is mounted correctly:**
+```bash
+# Correct - mount as read-only
+docker run -v $(pwd)/config.json:/app/config.json:ro ...
+
+# Check if file is accessible
+docker exec n8n-mcp cat /app/config.json
+```
+
+2. **Verify JSON syntax:**
+```bash
+# Validate JSON file
+cat config.json | jq .
+```
+
+3. **Check Docker logs for parsing errors:**
+```bash
+docker logs n8n-mcp | grep -i config
+```
+
+4. **Common issues:**
+- Invalid JSON syntax (use a JSON validator)
+- File permissions (should be readable)
+- Wrong mount path (must be `/app/config.json`)
+- Dangerous variables blocked (PATH, LD_PRELOAD, etc.)

+- Error message: "SSRF protection: Localhost access is blocked"
+- Webhooks work from n8n UI but not from n8n-MCP
+
+**Root Cause:** Default strict SSRF protection blocks localhost access to prevent attacks.
+
+**Solution:** Use moderate security mode for local development

+```
+
+**Security Modes Explained:**
+- `strict` (default): Blocks localhost + private IPs + cloud metadata (production)
+- `moderate`: Allows localhost, blocks private IPs + cloud metadata (local development)
+- `permissive`: Allows localhost + private IPs, blocks cloud metadata (testing only)

+# 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);
+});
+

+    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();
+  });
+});
+```
+

+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);
+```

+## Overview
+
+n8n-MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that provides AI assistants with comprehensive access to n8n node documentation and management capabilities. When connected to n8n via the MCP Client Tool node, it enables:
+- AI-powered workflow creation and validation
+- Access to documentation for 500+ n8n nodes
+- Workflow management through the n8n API
+- Real-time configuration validation
+
+## Local Testing
+
+### Quick Test Script
+
+Test n8n-MCP locally with the provided test script:
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp.git
+cd n8n-mcp
+
+# Build the project
+npm install
+npm run build
+
+# Run the integration test script
+./scripts/test-n8n-integration.sh
+```
+
+This script will:
+1. Start a real n8n instance in Docker
+2. Start n8n-MCP server configured for n8n
+3. Guide you through API key setup for workflow management
+4. Test the complete integration between n8n and n8n-MCP
+
+### Manual Local Setup
+
+For development or custom testing:
+
+1. **Prerequisites**:
+   - n8n instance running (local or remote)
+   - n8n API key (from n8n Settings → API)
+
+2. **Start n8n-MCP**:
+```bash
+# Set environment variables
+export N8N_MODE=true
+export MCP_MODE=http                       # Required for HTTP mode
+export N8N_API_URL=http://localhost:5678  # Your n8n instance URL
+export N8N_API_KEY=your-api-key-here       # Your n8n API key
+export MCP_AUTH_TOKEN=test-token-minimum-32-chars-long
+export AUTH_TOKEN=test-token-minimum-32-chars-long  # Same value as MCP_AUTH_TOKEN
+export PORT=3001
+
+# Start the server
+npm start
+```
+
+3. **Verify it's running**:
+```bash
+# Check health
+curl http://localhost:3001/health
+
+# Check MCP protocol endpoint (this is the endpoint n8n connects to)
+curl http://localhost:3001/mcp
+# Should return: {"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05"} for n8n compatibility
+```
+
+## Environment Variables Reference
+
+| Variable | Required | Description | Example Value |
+|----------|----------|-------------|---------------|
+| `N8N_MODE` | Yes | Enables n8n integration mode | `true` |
+| `MCP_MODE` | Yes | Enables HTTP mode for n8n MCP Client | `http` |
+| `N8N_API_URL` | Yes* | URL of your n8n instance | `http://localhost:5678` |
+| `N8N_API_KEY` | Yes* | n8n API key for workflow management | `n8n_api_xxx...` |
+| `MCP_AUTH_TOKEN` | Yes | Authentication token for MCP requests (min 32 chars) | `secure-random-32-char-token` |
+| `AUTH_TOKEN` | Yes | **MUST match MCP_AUTH_TOKEN exactly** | `secure-random-32-char-token` |
+| `PORT` | No | Port for the HTTP server | `3000` (default) |
+| `LOG_LEVEL` | No | Logging verbosity | `info`, `debug`, `error` |
+

+
+## Docker Build Changes (v2.9.2+)
+
+Starting with version 2.9.2, we use a single optimized Dockerfile for all deployments:
+- The previous `Dockerfile.n8n` has been removed as redundant
+- N8N_MODE functionality is enabled via the `N8N_MODE=true` environment variable
+- This reduces image size by 500MB+ and improves build times from 8+ minutes to 1-2 minutes
+- All examples now use the standard `Dockerfile`
+
+## Production Deployment
+
+> **⚠️ Critical**: Docker caches images locally. Always run `docker pull ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest` before deploying to ensure you have the latest version. This simple step prevents most deployment issues.
+
+### Same Server as n8n
+
+If you're running n8n-MCP on the same server as your n8n instance:
+
+### Using Pre-built Image (Recommended)
+
+The pre-built images are automatically updated with each release and are the easiest way to get started.
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Always pull the latest image to avoid using cached versions:
+
+```bash
+# ALWAYS pull the latest image first
+docker pull ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest
+
+# Generate a secure token (save this!)
+AUTH_TOKEN=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
+echo "Your AUTH_TOKEN: $AUTH_TOKEN"
+
+# Create a Docker network if n8n uses one
+docker network create n8n-net
+
+# Run n8n-MCP container
+docker run -d \
+  --name n8n-mcp \
+  --network n8n-net \
+  -p 3000:3000 \
+  -e N8N_MODE=true \
+  -e MCP_MODE=http \
+  -e N8N_API_URL=http://n8n:5678 \
+  -e N8N_API_KEY=your-n8n-api-key \
+  -e MCP_AUTH_TOKEN=$AUTH_TOKEN \
+  -e AUTH_TOKEN=$AUTH_TOKEN \
+  -e LOG_LEVEL=info \
+  --restart unless-stopped \
+  ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest
+```
+
+### Building from Source (Advanced Users)
+
+Only build from source if you need custom modifications or are contributing to development:
+
+```bash
+# Clone and build
+git clone https://github.com/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp.git
+cd n8n-mcp
+
+# Build Docker image
+docker build -t n8n-mcp:latest .
+
+# Run using your local image
+docker run -d \
+  --name n8n-mcp \
+  -p 3000:3000 \
+  -e N8N_MODE=true \
+  -e MCP_MODE=http \
+  -e MCP_AUTH_TOKEN=$(openssl rand -hex 32) \
+  -e AUTH_TOKEN=$(openssl rand -hex 32) \
+  # ... other settings
+  n8n-mcp:latest
+```
+
+### Using systemd (for native installation)
+
+```bash
+# Create service file
+sudo cat > /etc/systemd/system/n8n-mcp.service << EOF
+[Unit]
+Description=n8n-MCP Server
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]

+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+EOF
+
+# Enable and start
+sudo systemctl enable n8n-mcp
+sudo systemctl start n8n-mcp
+```
+
+### Different Server (Cloud Deployment)
+
+Deploy n8n-MCP on a separate server from your n8n instance:
+
+#### Quick Docker Deployment (Recommended)
+
+**Always pull the latest image to ensure you have the current version:**
+
+```bash
+# On your cloud server (Hetzner, AWS, DigitalOcean, etc.)
+# ALWAYS pull the latest image first
+docker pull ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest
+
+# Generate auth tokens
+AUTH_TOKEN=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
+echo "Save this AUTH_TOKEN: $AUTH_TOKEN"
+
+# Run the container
+docker run -d \
+  --name n8n-mcp \
+  -p 3000:3000 \
+  -e N8N_MODE=true \
+  -e MCP_MODE=http \
+  -e N8N_API_URL=https://your-n8n-instance.com \
+  -e N8N_API_KEY=your-n8n-api-key \
+  -e MCP_AUTH_TOKEN=$AUTH_TOKEN \
+  -e AUTH_TOKEN=$AUTH_TOKEN \
+  -e LOG_LEVEL=info \
+  --restart unless-stopped \
+  ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest
+```
+
+#### Building from Source (Advanced)
+
+Only needed if you're modifying the code:
+
+```bash
+# Clone and build
+git clone https://github.com/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp.git
+cd n8n-mcp
+docker build -t n8n-mcp:latest .
+
+# Run using local image
+docker run -d \
+  --name n8n-mcp \
+  -p 3000:3000 \
+  # ... same environment variables as above
+  n8n-mcp:latest
+```
+
+#### Full Production Setup (Hetzner/AWS/DigitalOcean)
+
+1. **Server Requirements**:
+   - **Minimal**: 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM (CX11 on Hetzner)
+   - **Recommended**: 2 vCPU, 2GB RAM
+   - **OS**: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
+
+2. **Initial Setup**:
+```bash
+# SSH into your server
+ssh root@your-server-ip
+
+# Update and install Docker
+apt update && apt upgrade -y
+curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh
+```
+
+3. **Deploy n8n-MCP with SSL** (using Caddy for automatic HTTPS):
+
+**Using Docker Compose (Recommended)**
+```bash
+# Create docker-compose.yml
+cat > docker-compose.yml << 'EOF'
+version: '3.8'
+
+services:
+  n8n-mcp:
+    image: ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest
+    pull_policy: always  # Always pull latest image
+    container_name: n8n-mcp
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    environment:
+      - N8N_MODE=true
+      - MCP_MODE=http

+
+#### Cloud Provider Tips
+
+**AWS EC2**:
+- Security Group: Open port 3000 (or 443 with HTTPS)
+- Instance Type: t3.micro is sufficient
+- Use Elastic IP for stable addressing
+
+**DigitalOcean**:
+- Droplet: Basic ($6/month) is enough
+- Enable backups for production use
+
+**Google Cloud**:
+- Machine Type: e2-micro (free tier eligible)
+- Use Cloud Load Balancer for SSL
+
+## Connecting n8n to n8n-MCP
+
+### Configure n8n MCP Client Tool
+
+1. **In your n8n workflow**, add the **MCP Client Tool** node
+
+2. **Configure the connection**:
+   ```
+   Server URL (MUST include /mcp endpoint): 
+   - Same server: http://localhost:3000/mcp
+   - Docker network: http://n8n-mcp:3000/mcp
+   - Different server: https://mcp.yourdomain.com/mcp
+   
+   Auth Token: [Your MCP_AUTH_TOKEN/AUTH_TOKEN value]
+   
+   Transport: HTTP Streamable (SSE)
+   ```
+   
+   ⚠️ **Critical**: The Server URL must include the `/mcp` endpoint path. Without this, the connection will fail.
+
+3. **Test the connection** by selecting a simple tool like `list_nodes`
+
+### Available Tools
+
+Once connected, you can use these MCP tools in n8n:
+
+**Documentation Tools** (No API key required):
+- `list_nodes` - List all n8n nodes with filtering
+- `search_nodes` - Search nodes by keyword
+- `get_node_info` - Get detailed node information
+- `get_node_essentials` - Get only essential properties
+- `validate_workflow` - Validate workflow configurations
+- `get_node_documentation` - Get human-readable docs
+
+**Management Tools** (Requires n8n API key):
+- `n8n_create_workflow` - Create new workflows
+- `n8n_update_workflow` - Update existing workflows
+- `n8n_get_workflow` - Retrieve workflow details
+- `n8n_list_workflows` - List all workflows
+- `n8n_trigger_webhook_workflow` - Trigger webhook workflows
+
+### Using with AI Agents
+
+Connect n8n-MCP to AI Agent nodes for intelligent automation:
+
+1. **Add an AI Agent node** (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic)
+2. **Connect MCP Client Tool** to the Agent's tool input
+3. **Configure prompts** for workflow creation:
+
+```
+You are an n8n workflow expert. Use the MCP tools to:
+1. Search for appropriate nodes using search_nodes
+2. Get configuration details with get_node_essentials
+3. Validate configurations with validate_workflow
+4. Create the workflow if all validations pass
+```
+
+## Security & Best Practices
+
+### Authentication
+- **MCP_AUTH_TOKEN**: Always use a strong, random token (32+ characters)
+- **N8N_API_KEY**: Only required for workflow management features
+- Store tokens in environment variables or secure vaults
+
+### Network Security
+- **Use HTTPS** in production (Caddy/Nginx/Traefik)
+- **Firewall**: Only expose necessary ports (3000 or 443)
+- **IP Whitelisting**: Consider restricting access to known n8n instances
+
+### Docker Security
+- **Always pull latest images**: Docker caches images locally, so run `docker pull` before deployment
+- Run containers with `--read-only` flag if possible
+- Use specific image versions instead of `:latest` in production
+- Regular updates: `docker pull ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest`
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Docker Image Issues
+
+**Using Outdated Cached Images**
+- **Symptom**: Missing features, old bugs reappearing, features not working as documented
+- **Cause**: Docker uses locally cached images instead of pulling the latest version
+- **Solution**: Always run `docker pull ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest` before deployment
+- **Verification**: Check image age with `docker images | grep n8n-mcp`
+
+### Common Configuration Issues
+
+**Missing `MCP_MODE=http` Environment Variable**
+- **Symptom**: n8n MCP Client Tool cannot connect, server doesn't respond on `/mcp` endpoint
+- **Solution**: Add `MCP_MODE=http` to your environment variables
+- **Why**: Without this, the server runs in stdio mode which is incompatible with n8n
+
+**Server URL Missing `/mcp` Endpoint**
+- **Symptom**: "Connection refused" or "Invalid response" in n8n MCP Client Tool
+- **Solution**: Ensure your Server URL includes `/mcp` (e.g., `http://localhost:3000/mcp`)
+- **Why**: n8n connects to the `/mcp` endpoint specifically, not the root URL
+
+**Mismatched Auth Tokens**
+- **Symptom**: "Authentication failed" or "Invalid auth token"
+- **Solution**: Ensure both `MCP_AUTH_TOKEN` and `AUTH_TOKEN` have the same value
+- **Why**: Both variables must match for proper authentication
+
+### Connection Issues
+
+**"Connection refused" in n8n MCP Client Tool**
+1. **Check n8n-MCP is running**:
+   ```bash
+   # Docker
+   docker ps | grep n8n-mcp
+   docker logs n8n-mcp --tail 20
+   
+   # Systemd
+   systemctl status n8n-mcp
+   journalctl -u n8n-mcp --tail 20
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify endpoints are accessible**:
+   ```bash
+   # Health check (should return status info)
+   curl http://your-server:3000/health
+   
+   # MCP endpoint (should return protocol version)
+   curl http://your-server:3000/mcp
+   ```
+
+3. **Check firewall and networking**:
+   ```bash
+   # Test port accessibility from n8n server
+   telnet your-mcp-server 3000
+   
+   # Check firewall rules (Ubuntu/Debian)
+   sudo ufw status
+   
+   # Check if port is bound correctly
+   netstat -tlnp | grep :3000
+   ```
+
+**"Invalid auth token" or "Authentication failed"**
+1. **Verify token format**:
+   ```bash
+   # Check token length (should be 64 chars for hex-32)
+   echo $MCP_AUTH_TOKEN | wc -c
+   
+   # Verify both tokens match
+   echo "MCP_AUTH_TOKEN: $MCP_AUTH_TOKEN"
+   echo "AUTH_TOKEN: $AUTH_TOKEN"
+   ```
+
+2. **Common token issues**:
+   - Token too short (minimum 32 characters)
+   - Extra whitespace or newlines in token
+   - Different values for `MCP_AUTH_TOKEN` and `AUTH_TOKEN`
+   - Special characters not properly escaped in environment files
+
+**"Cannot connect to n8n API"**
+1. **Verify n8n configuration**:
+   ```bash
+   # Test n8n API accessibility
+   curl -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: your-api-key" \
+        https://your-n8n-instance.com/api/v1/workflows
+   ```
+
+2. **Common n8n API issues**:
+   - `N8N_API_URL` missing protocol (http:// or https://)
+   - n8n API key expired or invalid
+   - n8n instance not accessible from n8n-MCP server
+   - n8n API disabled in settings
+
+### Version Compatibility Issues
+
+**"Features Not Working as Expected"**
+- **Symptom**: Missing features, old bugs, or compatibility issues
+- **Solution**: Pull the latest image: `docker pull ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest`
+- **Check**: Verify image date with `docker inspect ghcr.io/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp:latest | grep Created`
+
+**"Protocol version mismatch"**
+- n8n-MCP automatically uses version 2024-11-05 for n8n compatibility
+- Update to latest n8n-MCP version if issues persist
+- Verify `/mcp` endpoint returns correct version
+
+### Environment Variable Issues
+
+**Complete Environment Variable Checklist**:
+```bash
+# Required for all deployments
+export N8N_MODE=true                                    # Enables n8n integration
+export MCP_MODE=http                                   # Enables HTTP mode for n8n
+export MCP_AUTH_TOKEN=your-secure-32-char-token       # Auth token
+export AUTH_TOKEN=your-secure-32-char-token           # Same value as MCP_AUTH_TOKEN
+
+# Required for workflow management features
+export N8N_API_URL=https://your-n8n-instance.com      # Your n8n URL
+export N8N_API_KEY=your-n8n-api-key                   # Your n8n API key
+
+# Optional
+export PORT=3000                                       # HTTP port (default: 3000)
+export LOG_LEVEL=info                                  # Logging level
+```
+
+### Docker-Specific Issues
+
+**Container Build Failures**
+```bash
+# Clear Docker cache and rebuild
+docker system prune -f
+docker build --no-cache -t n8n-mcp:latest .
+```
+
+**Container Runtime Issues**
+```bash
+# Check container logs for detailed errors
+docker logs n8n-mcp -f --timestamps
+
+# Inspect container environment
+docker exec n8n-mcp env | grep -E "(N8N|MCP|AUTH)"
+
+# Test container connectivity
+docker exec n8n-mcp curl -f http://localhost:3000/health
+```
+
+### Network and SSL Issues
+
+**HTTPS/SSL Problems**
+```bash
+# Test SSL certificate
+openssl s_client -connect mcp.yourdomain.com:443
+
+# Check Caddy logs
+docker logs caddy -f --tail 50
+```
+
+**Docker Network Issues**
+```bash
+# Check if containers can communicate
+docker network ls
+docker network inspect bridge
+
+# Test inter-container connectivity
+docker exec n8n curl http://n8n-mcp:3000/health
+```
+
+### Debugging Steps
+
+1. **Enable comprehensive logging**:
+```bash
+# For Docker
+docker run -d \
+  --name n8n-mcp \
+  -e DEBUG_MCP=true \
+  -e LOG_LEVEL=debug \
+  -e N8N_MODE=true \
+  -e MCP_MODE=http \
+  # ... other settings
+
+# For systemd, add to service file:
+Environment="DEBUG_MCP=true"
+Environment="LOG_LEVEL=debug"
+```
+
+2. **Test all endpoints systematically**:
+```bash
+# 1. Health check (basic server functionality)
+curl -v http://localhost:3000/health
+
+# 2. MCP protocol endpoint (what n8n connects to)
+curl -v http://localhost:3000/mcp
+
+# 3. Test authentication (if working, returns tools list)
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/list","id":1}'
+
+# 4. Test a simple tool (documentation only, no n8n API needed)
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"get_database_statistics","arguments":{}},"id":2}'
+```
+
+3. **Common log patterns to look for**:
+```bash
+# Success patterns
+grep "Server started" /var/log/n8n-mcp.log
+grep "Protocol version" /var/log/n8n-mcp.log
+
+# Error patterns
+grep -i "error\|failed\|invalid" /var/log/n8n-mcp.log
+grep -i "auth\|token" /var/log/n8n-mcp.log
+grep -i "connection\|network" /var/log/n8n-mcp.log
+```
+
+### Getting Help
+
+If you're still experiencing issues:
+
+1. **Gather diagnostic information**:
+```bash
+# System info
+docker --version
+docker-compose --version
+uname -a
+
+# n8n-MCP version
+docker exec n8n-mcp node dist/index.js --version
+
+# Environment check
+docker exec n8n-mcp env | grep -E "(N8N|MCP|AUTH)" | sort
+
+# Container status
+docker ps | grep n8n-mcp
+docker stats n8n-mcp --no-stream
+```
+
+2. **Create a minimal test setup**:
+```bash
+# Test with minimal configuration
+docker run -d \
+  --name n8n-mcp-test \
+  -p 3001:3000 \
+  -e N8N_MODE=true \
+  -e MCP_MODE=http \

+# Template Mining Analysis - Alternative to P0-R3
+
+**Date**: 2025-10-02
+**Context**: Analyzing whether to fix `get_node_for_task` (28% failure rate) or replace it with template-based configuration extraction
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+**RECOMMENDATION**: Replace `get_node_for_task` with template-based configuration extraction. The template database contains 2,646 real-world workflows with rich node configurations that far exceed the 31 hardcoded task templates.
+
+## Key Findings
+
+### 1. Template Database Coverage
+
+- **Total Templates**: 2,646 production workflows from n8n.io
+- **Unique Node Types**: 543 (covers 103% of our 525 core nodes)
+- **Metadata Coverage**: 100% (AI-generated structured metadata)
+
+### 2. Node Type Coverage in Templates
+
+Top node types by template usage:
+```
+3,820 templates: n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest      (144% of total templates!)
+3,678 templates: n8n-nodes-base.set
+2,445 templates: n8n-nodes-base.code
+1,700 templates: n8n-nodes-base.googleSheets
+1,471 templates: @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.agent
+1,269 templates: @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.lmChatOpenAi
+  792 templates: n8n-nodes-base.telegram
+  702 templates: n8n-nodes-base.httpRequestTool
+  596 templates: n8n-nodes-base.gmail
+  466 templates: n8n-nodes-base.webhook
+```
+
+**Comparison**:
+- Hardcoded task templates: 31 tasks covering 5.9% of nodes
+- Real templates: 2,646 templates with 2-3k examples for common nodes
+
+### 3. Database Structure
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE templates (
+  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+  workflow_id INTEGER UNIQUE NOT NULL,
+  name TEXT NOT NULL,
+  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)
+  metadata_json TEXT,           -- AI-generated structured metadata
+  -- Stats
+  views INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
+  created_at DATETIME,
+  -- ...
+);
+```
+
+### 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"

+## 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

-- `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

-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],

-      "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

-## 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

-- **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);
-  });
-});
-```
-

-
-## 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

-        
-      - name: Upload coverage to Codecov
-        uses: codecov/codecov-action@v4
-```
-
-### 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';

-// 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,

-  
-  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;

-    // 1. Search for nodes
-    const searchResult = await mcpClient.call('search_nodes', {
-      query: 'webhook http slack'
-    });
-    
-    // 2. Get node details

-### 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!
