Romuald Członkowski ff69e4ccca feat: Tool Consolidation - Reduce MCP Tools by 38% (v2.26.0) (#439)
* feat: Remove 9 low-value tools and consolidate n8n_health_check (v2.25.0)

Telemetry-driven tool cleanup to improve API clarity:

**Removed Tools (9):**
- list_nodes - Use search_nodes instead
- list_ai_tools - Use search_nodes with isAITool filter
- list_tasks - Low usage (0.02%)
- get_database_statistics - Use n8n_health_check
- list_templates - Use search_templates or get_templates_for_task
- get_node_as_tool_info - Documented in get_node
- validate_workflow_connections - Use validate_workflow
- validate_workflow_expressions - Use validate_workflow
- n8n_list_available_tools - Use n8n_health_check
- n8n_diagnostic - Merged into n8n_health_check

**Consolidated Tool:**
- n8n_health_check now supports mode='diagnostic' for detailed troubleshooting

**Tool Count:**
- Before: 38 tools
- After: 31 tools (18% reduction)

* fix: cleanup stale references and update tests after tool removal

- Remove handleListAvailableTools dead code from handlers-n8n-manager.ts
- Update error messages to reference n8n_health_check(mode="diagnostic") instead of n8n_diagnostic
- Update tool counts in diagnostic messages (14 doc tools, 31 total)
- Fix error-handling.test.ts to use valid tools (search_nodes, tools_documentation)
- Remove obsolete list-tools.test.ts integration tests
- Remove unused ListToolsResponse type from response-types.ts
- Update tools.ts QUICK REFERENCE to remove list_nodes references
- Update tools-documentation.ts to remove references to removed tools
- Update tool-docs files to remove stale relatedTools references
- Fix tools.test.ts to not test removed tools (list_nodes, list_ai_tools, etc.)
- Fix parameter-validation.test.ts to not test removed tools
- Update handlers-n8n-manager.test.ts error message expectations

All 399 MCP unit tests now pass.

* fix: update integration tests to use valid tools after v2.25.0 removal

Replaced all references to removed tools in integration tests:
- list_nodes -> search_nodes
- get_database_statistics -> tools_documentation
- list_ai_tools -> search_nodes/tools_documentation
- list_tasks -> tools_documentation
- get_node_as_tool_info -> removed test section

Updated test files:
- tests/integration/mcp-protocol/basic-connection.test.ts
- tests/integration/mcp-protocol/performance.test.ts
- tests/integration/mcp-protocol/session-management.test.ts
- tests/integration/mcp-protocol/test-helpers.ts
- tests/integration/mcp-protocol/tool-invocation.test.ts
- tests/integration/telemetry/mcp-telemetry.test.ts

* feat: Tool consolidation v2.26.0 - reduce tools by 38% (31 → 19)

Major consolidation of MCP tools using mode-based parameters for better
AI agent ergonomics:

Node Tools:
- get_node_documentation → get_node with mode='documentation'
- search_node_properties → get_node with mode='search_properties'
- get_property_dependencies → removed

Validation Tools:
- validate_node_operation + validate_node_minimal → validate_node with mode param

Template Tools:
- list_node_templates → search_templates with searchMode='nodes'
- search_templates_by_metadata → search_templates with searchMode='metadata'
- get_templates_for_task → search_templates with searchMode='task'

Workflow Getters:
- n8n_get_workflow_details/structure/minimal → n8n_get_workflow with mode param

Execution Tools:
- n8n_list/get/delete_execution → n8n_executions with action param

Test updates for all consolidated tools.

* docs: comprehensive README update for v2.26.0 tool consolidation

- Quick Start: Added hosted service (dashboard.n8n-mcp.com) as primary option
- Self-hosting: Renamed options to A (npx), B (Docker), C (Local), D (Railway)
- Removed: "Memory Leak Fix (v2.20.2)" section (outdated)
- Removed: "Known Issues" section (outdated container management)
- Claude Project Setup: Updated all tool references to v2.26.0 consolidated tools
  - validate_node({mode: 'minimal'|'full'}) instead of separate tools
  - search_templates({searchMode: ...}) unified template search
  - get_node({mode: 'docs'|'search_properties'}) for documentation
  - n8n_executions({action: ...}) unified execution management
- Available MCP Tools: Updated to show 19 consolidated tools (7 core + 12 mgmt)
- Recent Updates: Simplified to just link to CHANGELOG.md
