+description: Use this agent when you need to test n8n-mcp functionality after implementing fixes or new features. This agent should be invoked proactively after code changes to validate that the MCP tools work correctly with real n8n workflows. The agent tests the actual MCP server tools, not just unit tests. Examples:\n\n<example>\nContext: Developer has just fixed a validation bug in the n8n-mcp server\nuser: "I've fixed the validation issue for HTTP Request nodes"\nassistant: "I've completed the fix. Now let me build the project and then test it."\n<builds project>\nassistant: "Project built successfully. Please reload the MCP server in Claude Desktop to apply the changes."\nuser: "Reloaded"\nassistant: "Great! Now let me invoke the n8n-mcp-tester agent to verify the fix works correctly."\n<commentary>\nSince a fix has been implemented and the MCP server reloaded, use the n8n-mcp-tester agent to validate the fix works in real-world usage.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: Developer has added a new MCP tool for workflow validation\nuser: "I've implemented the new workflow validation tool"\nassistant: "Implementation complete. Let me build and prepare for testing."\n<builds project>\nassistant: "Build successful. Please reload the MCP server to load the new tool."\nuser: "Done"\nassistant: "Perfect! I'll now use the n8n-mcp-tester agent to test the new workflow validation tool."\n<commentary>\nAfter implementing new MCP functionality and reloading the server, invoke n8n-mcp-tester to verify it works correctly.\n</commentary>\n</example>

+---
+
+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.

+# 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
+

+## 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.

@@ -318,76 +475,270 @@ You are an n8n workflow expert. Use the MCP tools to:
 - **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**
-- Check n8n-MCP is running: `docker ps` or `systemctl status n8n-mcp`
+1. **Check n8n-MCP is running**:
-- Verify port is accessible: `curl http://your-server:3000/health`
+   ```bash
-- Check firewall rules allow port 3000
+   # Docker
+   docker ps | grep n8n-mcp
+   docker logs n8n-mcp --tail 20
+   
+   # Systemd
+   systemctl status n8n-mcp
+   journalctl -u n8n-mcp --tail 20
+   ```
 
-**"Invalid auth token"**
+2. **Verify endpoints are accessible**:
-- Ensure MCP_AUTH_TOKEN matches exactly (no extra spaces)
+   ```bash
-- Token must be at least 32 characters long
+   # Health check (should return status info)
-- Check for special characters that might need escaping
+   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"**
-- Verify N8N_API_URL is correct (include http:// or https://)
+1. **Verify n8n configuration**:
-- Check n8n API key is valid and has necessary permissions
+   ```bash
-- Ensure n8n instance is accessible from n8n-MCP server
+   # Test n8n API accessibility
+   curl -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: your-api-key" \
+        https://your-n8n-instance.com/api/v1/workflows

+
+### 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. **Check logs**:
+2. **Test all endpoints systematically**:
 ```bash
-# Docker
+# 1. Health check (basic server functionality)
-docker logs n8n-mcp -f --tail 100
+curl -v http://localhost:3000/health
 
-# Systemd
+# 2. MCP protocol endpoint (what n8n connects to)
-journalctl -u n8n-mcp -f
+curl -v http://localhost:3000/mcp
-```
 
-3. **Test endpoints**:
+# 3. Test authentication (if working, returns tools list)
-```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
-# Health check
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN" \
-curl http://localhost:3000/health
-
-# Protocol version
-curl http://localhost:3000/mcp
-
-# List tools (requires auth)
-curl -X POST http://localhost:3000 \
-  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MCP_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

+## CRITICAL OUTPUT CONNECTION INFORMATION
+
+**⚠️ OUTPUT INDICES ARE COUNTERINTUITIVE ⚠️**
+
+The SplitInBatches node has TWO outputs with specific indices:
+- **Output 0 (index 0) = "done"**: Receives final processed data when loop completes
+- **Output 1 (index 1) = "loop"**: Receives current batch data during iteration
+
+### Correct Connection Pattern:
+1. Connect nodes that PROCESS items inside the loop to **Output 1 ("loop")**
+2. Connect nodes that run AFTER the loop completes to **Output 0 ("done")**
+3. The last processing node in the loop must connect back to the SplitInBatches node
+
+### Common Mistake:
+AI assistants often connect these backwards because the logical flow (loop first, then done) doesn't match the technical indices (done=0, loop=1).
